Parameter	Description
Connection	The current connection out of the total number of connections.
Adapter	An adapter ID is displayed if the driver is an adapter driver.
Poll_Delay	The minimum amount of time that must pass between one Client Map
	Descriptor completing its task and the next Client Map Descriptor being
	serviced. Refer to Driver Manuals.
Low_Pri_Poll_Delay	The poll delay used for lower priority Map Descriptors.
	When an upstream device polls the FieldServer, and the data is
	unavailable or too old, the driver generates a poll to the downstream
Server_Hold_Timeout	device for fresh data, (port expansion). The Server_Hold_Timeout
	defines the time available for this transaction to complete before an error
	is returned. The default is 2 seconds.
Protocol	The name of the protocol used by this connection.
IP_Address	An IP address for the connection if applicable.
Remote_IP_Address	A remote IP address for the connection if applicable.
Port	Identifies the port for a serial driver. P1... P8 or R1...R2
Timeout*	The timeout defined for the connection. Default 2 seconds. See Error!
	Reference source not found. for further information.
Recovery_Interval	The	time	after a	node	goes	off-line before the driver			tries	to poll	the

	communications line after receiving permission. Default is 1milisecond.
Line_drive_off	Time that a communication line using RS-485 is actively driven before
	being released, after the last bit has been sent. Default 1milisecond..
IC_timeout	Time a driver will wait between receiving the first and second bytes of a
