7: Setup Mode: Channel Configuration
DisConnTime (Inactivity Timeout) Use this parameter to set an inactivity timeout. The unit drops the T CP connection to
the local port if there is no activity on the serial line before the set tim e expires. Enter
time in the format mm:ss, where m is the number of minutes and s is the number of
seconds.
DisConnTime (00:00) ?:
To disable the inactivity timeout, enter 00:00. Range is 0 (disabled) to 5999 sec onds
(99 minutes, 59 seconds). Default is 0.
Send Characters Enter up to two characters in hexadecimal representation in sendchar.
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 c haracters, to
the TCP connection. This action minimizes the response time for s pecific protocol
characters on the serial line (for example, ETX, EOT). Setting the firs t sendchar to 00
disables the recognition of the characters. Alternatively, the unit can interpret two
characters as a sequence (see Pack Control on page 51).
Telnet Terminal Type This parameter displays only if you enabled the terminal type option in D isconnect
Mode. With this option enabled, you can use the terminal name f or the Telnet
terminal type. Enter only one name.
With terminal type option enabled, the unit also react s to the EOR (end of record) and
binary options, useful for applications like terminal emulation to IBM hosts.
Channel (Port) Password This parameter appears only if the channel (port) password option is ena bled in
Disconnect Mode. With this option enabled, you can set a password on the seria l
port.
