3.6.10 Pack Control

Two firmware-selectable packing algorithms define how and when packets are sent to the network. The standard algorithm is optimized for applications in which the unit is used in a local environment, allowing for very small delays for single characters while keeping the packet count low. The alternate packing algorithm minimizes the packet count on the network and is especially useful in applications in a routed Wide Area Network (WAN). Adjusting parameters in this mode can economize the network data stream.

Pack control settings are enabled in Flush Mode. Set this value to 00 if specific functions are not needed.

Note: See Table 35 - Binary to Hexadecimal Conversion Table.

Idle Time: Idle time to "Force transmit" defines how long the unit should wait before sending accumulated characters. This wait period is between characters. If there is an idle period between characters equal to the force transmit set, then the unit will package up the serial data currently in the buffer and send it to the network.

Trailing Characters: In some applications, CRC, Checksum, or other trailing characters follow the end-of-sequence character; this option helps to adapt frame transmission to the frame boundary.
