Configuration Via Serial Mode or Telnet Port
Packing Interval: Packing Interval defines how long the unit should wait before sending accumulated characters. This wait period is between successive network segments containing data. For alternate packing, the default interval is 12 ms.
Trailing Characters: In some applications, CRC, Checksum, or other trailing characters follow the
Send Characters:
If
If Send Immediately After Characters is not set, any characters already in the serial buffer are included in the transmission after a "transmit" condition is found. If this option is set, the unit sends immediately after recognizing the transmit condition (sendchar or timeout).
Note: A transmission might occur if status information needs to be exchanged or an acknowledgment needs to be sent.
DisConnTime (Inactivity Timeout)
Use this parameter to set an inactivity timeout. The unit drops the connection if there is no activity on the serial line before the set time expires. Enter time in the format mm:ss, where m is the number of minutes and s is the number of seconds.
DisConnTime (0: 0) ?:
To disable the inactivity timeout, enter 00:00. Range is 0 (disabled) to 5999 seconds (99 minutes, 59 seconds). The default is 0.
SendChar 1 and SendChar2
Enter up to two characters in hexadecimal representation.
SendChar 1 ( 0) ? _
SendChar 2 ( 0) ? _
If the unit receives a character on the serial line that matches one of these characters, it sends the character immediately, along with any awaiting characters, to the TCP connection. This action minimizes the response time for specific protocol characters on the serial line (for example, ETX, EOT). Setting the first SendChar to 00 disables the recognition of the characters. Alternatively, the unit can interpret two characters as a sequence (see Pack Control on page
Telnet Terminal Type
This parameter displays only if the terminal type option is enabled in Disconnect Mode. If this option is enabled, use the terminal name for the Telnet terminal type. Enter only one name.
If the terminal type option is enabled, the unit also reacts to the EOR (end of record) and binary options, which can be used for applications such as terminal emulation to UNIX hosts.
Channel (Port) Password
This parameter appears only if the channel (port) password option is enabled in Disconnect Mode. If the option is enabled, set a password on the serial port.
