Table C-8. External Device Configuration Options (3 of 3)

Escape Sequence Delay (sec): None
None 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0
Specifies the delay used while sending the communication port escape sequence. Use
the communication port escape delay to specify the delay before sending the first
character of the escape sequence and the delay after the last character of the escape
sequence. During the delay, no data is sent out the communication port.
None – No communication port escape sequence delay.

X.X

s – The delay used during the communication port escape sequence (where

X.X

is
0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, or 1.0 seconds).
NOTES: This configuration option is not available if the External Device
Commands configuration option is set to AT.
Escape Sequence Delay must be configured for a delay greater than or
equal to the escape guard time required by the external device.
Disconnect String:
Text Field
Text Field
Clear
Specifies the communication port’s disconnect string. The communication port’s
disconnect string is sent to the external device if either you or the DSU/CSU wants to
command the external device to disconnect. The external device must be in command
mode before this command can be sent, so the escape sequence will always be sent
before the disconnect string. The disconnect string is an ASCII text string and may be
up to 20 characters in length. If the disconnect string is NULL, then no disconnect string
is sent out.
Text Field
– Allows you to edit or display the disconnect string.
Clear – Allows you to clear the disconnect string. The disconnect string is set to a null
string.
NOTE: This configuration option is not available if the External Device Commands
configuration option is set to AT.
