Multi-Tech Systems RF802EW manual LAN DHCP Server, RouteFinder Manager Individual Port Options

Chapter 5 - RouteFinder Manager

Individual Port Options

Individual Port Options lets you set the idle-timeout function for each serial port of the RouteFinder. You can set the number of minutes you wish to allow a connection to stay idle before disconnection.

Note: Default idle timeout for IP Routing is 5 minutes. Default idle timeout for Remote Access is 30 minutes.

If you un-check the idle-timeout, once a client establishes a connection, the connection will be maintained until you turn off your modem, unplug your network device or use the Terminate Connection function in the RouteFinder monitor program.

The Automatic Reconnect (Always connect) essentially maintains your connection (idle time out = infinite). If the connection is disconnected for any reason, it will automatically attempt to reconnect.

Dial-up Retry Options

The Dial-Up Retry option allows you to specify the number of times the RouteFinder should attempt to establish a connection.

If the retry count is 0, the device will not dial-out to connect to the remote site.

Note: Automatic Reconnect will override the Retry count setting if retry count is set to 0.
