Connection Settings
Description
The connection settings are configured using three menu items:
zConnect when DCD is on—Enables or disables link connection when DCD is
asserted. If Connect when characters are received is also enabled and is satisfied
first, then Connect when DCD is on has no effect on the link connection.
zConnect when characters are received—Enables or disables the link connection
when incoming characters are received. If Connect when DCD is on is also enabled
and is satisfied first, then Connect when characters are received has no effect on the
link connection.
zConnect without DSR, DCD or received characters—When this menu item is enabled,
Connect when DCD is on and Connect when characters are received are forced off and
the retry interval is set to 30. If the link application type is set to LOGIN or ALIAS,
connection will occur as soon as the link is enabled (completely independent from
the DCD and incoming character status). If the link application type is set to
DESTINATION, the link will connect immediately when an outgoing call is placed to
the destination (also completely independent from DCD and incoming character
status).
Note: Dial/Connect when DSR is on has no effect on AI232 operation.
