Connect is set to None. Select Enable to permit Telnet

 

 

communication to the XPress DR+.

 

 

Terminal Name

This field is available for configuration only when Telnet Mode

 

 

is set to Enable.

 

 

Use the terminal name for the Telnet terminal type. Enter only

 

 

one name. When this option is enabled, the unit also reacts to

 

 

the end of record (EOR) and binary options, which can be

 

 

used for applications such as terminal emulation to IBM hosts.

 

 

 

 

 

Connect Response

A single character is transmitted to the serial port when there

 

 

is a change in connection state. Default setting is None.

 

 

Use Hostlist

If this option is set to True, the device server scrolls through

 

 

the host list until it connects to a device listed in the host list

 

 

table. Once it connects, the unit stops trying to connect to any

 

 

others. If this connection fails, the unit continues to scroll

 

 

through the table until it connects to another IP in the host list.

 

 

The host list is disabled for Manual Mode and for Modem

 

 

Mode. The unit will not accept a data connection from a

 

 

remote device when the host list option is enabled.

 

 

 

 

 

LED

Select Blink for the status LEDs to blink upon connection or

 

 

None for no LED output. The default setting is Blink.

 

Disconnect Mode

 

 

 

On Mdm_Ctrl_In Drop

Set to Yes for the network connection to or from the serial port

 

 

 

to drop when modem_control_in transitions from a high state

 

 

to a low state. The default setting is No.

 

 

Hard Disconnect

When set to Yes, the TCP connection closes even if the

 

 

remote site does not acknowledge the disconnect request.

 

 

 

 

 

With EOT

Select Yes to drop the connection when Ctrl-Dor Hex 04 is

 

 

detected. Both Telnet Mode and Disconnect with EOT must

 

 

be enabled for Disconnect with EOT to function properly.

 

 

Ctrl+D is only detected going from the serial port to the

 

 

network. The default setting is No.

 

 

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. To

 

 

disable the inactivity timeout, enter 00:00.
