Chapter 3: Configuring the Port Table (A166PORT):

The Port table contains the relevant configuration information for communication port setup. Each record in the Port table defines the communication parameters for a single communication port.

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

Communication Port

Any valid communication port

 

This parameter contains the ASCII descriptor for the

 

 

(hardware dependent)

 

communication port to use. For example, for the D20 valid

 

 

 

 

communication ports are “COM1" through “COM7".

 

 

 

 

 

 

Message Timeout

50 .. 65535

 

This parameter defines the total message timeout in

 

 

 

 

milliseconds. Received messages must be completed in this

 

 

 

 

time frame to be considered valid responses. Message timeout

 

 

 

 

is measured from the end of command transmission to the end

 

 

 

 

of the response.

 

 

 

 

A typical value would be 500 character times.

 

 

 

 

The character time for 9600 baud is 2 ms

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inter-Character

2 char times .. 65535

 

This parameter specifies the maximum time, in milliseconds,

 

Timeout

 

 

that may expire between received characters. If this time

 

 

 

 

expires, the message is considered to be finished.

 

 

 

 

A typical value would be 3 character times.

 

 

 

 

The character time for 9600 baud is 2 ms

 

 

 

 

 

 

Retries Before

00 .. 65535

 

This parameter defines the number of times to retry a

 

Failure

 

 

message before reporting a communication failure.

 

 

 

 

A typical value is 3.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Failures Before

1 .. 65535

 

This parameter defines the number of consecutive

 

Off-line

 

 

communication failures that cause a SRU to be taken off-

 

 

 

 

line.

 

 

 

 

A typical value is 3.
