6: Line and Tunnel Settings
For Connect Mode using UDP, the XPort Pro Lx6 accepts packets from any device on the network. It will send packets to the last device that sent it packets.
Note: The Port in Connect Mode is not the same port configured in Accept Mode.
The TCP keepalive time is the time in which probes are periodically sent to the other end of the connection. This ensures the other side is still connected.

Tunnel Connect Mode | Description |
Settings |
|
Mode | Set the method to be used to attempt a connection to a remote host or device. |
| Choices are: |
| Disable = an outgoing connection is never attempted. (default) |
| Always = a connection is attempted until one is made. If the connection gets |
| disconnected, the device XPort Pro Lx6 retries until it makes a connection. |
| Any Character = a connection is attempted when any character is read on |
| the serial line. |
| Start Character = a connection is attempted when the start character for the |
| selected tunnel is read on the serial line. |
| Modem Control Asserted = a connection is attempted as long as the |
| Modem Control pin (DSR) is asserted, until a connection is made. |
| Modem Emulation = a connection is attempted when triggered by modem |
| emulation AT commands. |
|
|
Local Port | Enter an alternative Local Port. The Local Port is set to <Random> by default |
| but can be overridden. Blank the field to restore the default. |
|
|
Host 1 | Click on the displayed information to expand it for editing. If <None> is |
| displayed, clicking it will allow you to configure a new host. At least one Host is |
| required to enable Connect Mode as this information is necessary to connect to |
| that host. |
|
|
Reconnect Timer | Set the value of the reconnect timeout (in milliseconds) for outgoing connections |
| established by the device. Valid range is 1 to 65535 milliseconds. Default is |
| 15000. |
|
|
Flush Serial Data | Set whether the serial Line data buffer is flushed upon a new network |
| connection. Choices are: |
| Enabled = serial data buffer is flushed on network connection |
| Disabled = serial data buffer is not flushed on network connection (default) |
|
|
Block Serial | Set whether Block Serial is enabled for debugging purposes. Choices are: |
| Enabled = If Enabled, incoming characters from the Serial Line will not be |
| forwarded to the network. Instead, they will be buffered and will eventually |
| flow off the Serial Line if hardware or software flow control is configured. |
| Disabled = this is the default setting; incoming characters from the Serial Line |
| are sent on into the network. Any buffered characters are sent first. |
|
|
Block Network | Set whether Block Network is enabled for debugging purposes. Choices are: |
| Enabled = If Enabled, incoming characters from the network will not be |
| forwarded to the Serial Line. Instead, they will be buffered and will eventually |
| flow off the network side. |
| Disabled = this is the default setting; incoming characters from the network |
| are sent on into the Serial Line. Any buffered characters are sent first. |
|
|
Email on Connect | Select an email profile number to which an email notification will be sent upon |
| the establishment of an accept mode tunnel. |
