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.
