Stop Bits

The stop bit follows the data and parity bits in serial communication. It indicates the end of transmission. The default setting is 1.

Pack Control

 

Enable Packing

Select to enable packing on the UDS2100.

 

 

Two firmware-selectable packing algorithms define how

 

 

and when packets are sent to the network.

 

 

The standard algorithm is optimized for applications in

 

 

which the unit is used in a local environment, allowing for

 

 

very small delays for single characters, while keeping the

 

 

packet count low.

 

 

The alternate packing algorithm minimizes the packet

 

 

count on the network and is especially useful in

 

 

applications in a routed Wide Area Network (WAN).

 

 

Adjusting parameters in this mode can economize the

 

 

network data stream.

 

 

Disabled by default.

 

 

 

 

Idle Gap Time

Select the maximum time for inactivity. The default time is

 

 

12 milliseconds.

 

 

 

 

Match 2 Byte Sequence

Use to indicate the end of a series of data to be sent as

 

 

one group. The sequence must occur sequentially to

 

 

indicate end of the data collection to the UDS2100. The

 

 

default setting is No.

 

 

 

 

Match Bytes

Use to indicate the end of a series of data to be sent as

 

 

one group. Set this value to 00 if specific functions are

 

 

not needed.

 

 

 

 

Send Frame Only

After the detection of the byte sequence, indicates

 

 

whether to send the data frame or the entire buffer. Select

 

 

Yes to send only the data frame. The default setting is No.

 

 

 

 

Send Trailing Bytes

Select the number of bytes to send after the end-of-

 

 

sequence characters. The default setting is None.

 

 

 

Flush Input Buffer (Serial to Network)

 

 

 

 

With Active Connect

Select Yes to clear the input buffer with a connection that

 

 

is initiated from the device to the network. The default

 

 

setting is No.

 

 

 

 

With Passive Connect

Select Yes to clear the input buffer with a connection

 

 

initiated from the network to the device. The default

 

 

setting is No.

 

 

 

 

At Time of Disconnect

Select Yes to clear the input buffer when the network

 

 

connection to or from the device is disconnected. The

 

 

default setting is No.
