Configuration Options

Table C-8. External Device Configuration Options (3 of 3)Escape Sequence Delay (sec): NoneNone 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0

Specifies the delay used while sending the communication port escape sequence. Use the communication port escape delay to specify the delay before sending the first character of the escape sequence and the delay after the last character of the escape sequence. During the delay, no data is sent out the communication port.

None – No communication port escape sequence delay.

X.Xs – The delay used during the communication port escape sequence (where X.X is 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, or 1.0 seconds).

NOTES: – This configuration option is not available if the External Device Commands configuration option is set to AT.

Escape Sequence Delay must be configured for a delay greater than or equal to the escape guard time required by the external device.

Disconnect String: Text Field

Text Field Clear

Specifies the communication port’s disconnect string. The communication port’s disconnect string is sent to the external device if either you or the DSU/CSU wants to command the external device to disconnect. The external device must be in command mode before this command can be sent, so the escape sequence will always be sent before the disconnect string. The disconnect string is an ASCII text string and may be up to 20 characters in length. If the disconnect string is NULL, then no disconnect string is sent out.

Text Field – Allows you to edit or display the disconnect string.

Clear – Allows you to clear the disconnect string. The disconnect string is set to a null string.

NOTE: This configuration option is not available if the External Device Commands configuration option is set to AT.
