Alternate Packing Algorithm (Pack Control)
Enable 1
Pack Control
The packing algorithms define how and when packets are sent to the net work. The standard
algorithm is optimized for applications in which the unit is used in a l ocal environment, allowing for
very small delays for single characters, while keeping the packet count lo w. The alternate packing
algorithm minimizes the packet count on the network and is especially us eful in applications in a
routed Wide Area Network (WAN). Adjusting parameters in this mode can econ omize the network
data stream.
Pack control settings are enabled in Flush Mode. Set this value to 00 if you do not need specific
functions.
Note: All bit positions in the table that are blank represent “don’t care” bits for th at
particular option; they can be set to either a 0 or 1 value.
