Configuring the IN-tact 1101

 

 

Field/Button

Description

Inactivity Disconnect Timer

Use the Hours and Minutes fields to specify the amount of time you

 

would like the IN-tact1101 to hold the modem connection open after

 

the last transaction was processed. The modem will automatically

 

disconnect after the time you specify here transpires. By default, this

 

is set to five minutes. The valid range of entries is between zero

 

minutes and 24 hours. Setting this value to zero disables the timer

 

and the modem will stay indefinitely connected, regardless of the

 

status of the Ethernet connection. You will have to manually

 

disconnect the modem in this case. The value of Inactivity Disconnect

 

Timer (if not set to zero) must be greater than that of Ethernet Retry

 

Timer.

 

 

Ethernet Retry Timer

Use the Hours and Minutes fields to set how often the IN-tact1101

 

should retry the Ethernet connection while operating in dial backup

 

mode. If the Ethernet connection has been re-established, the IN-tact

 

1101 closes the modem connection and reverts to normal IP-based

 

transaction processing as soon as the Inactivity Disconnect Timer

 

expires. By default, the IN-tact1101 rechecks the Ethernet

 

connection every minute. The valid range of entries is between 1 and

 

1439 minutes.

 

 

Dialing Mode

Use the drop-down list to select whether the IN-tact1101 begins

 

establishing a modem connection immediately upon Ethernet outage,

 

or waits until a transaction has been generated (default).

 

 

Allow Terminal Program

Click this checkbox to enable terminal program downloads while

Downloads

operating in dial backup mode. By default, this option is enabled.

 

However, because terminal downloads can take some time to

 

complete, you may not want them to occur during dial sessions, only

 

via IP sessions.

 

 

NOTE: Click Back, Save and Continue or Apply and Restart as appropriate. Keep in mind that your changes are not written to persistent memory until you click Apply and Restart.
