Field Descriptions

Signals

break signal, and the out-of-band break signals for TruePort.

 

Default: Disabled

Flush Data Before When enabled, deletes any pending outbound data when a port is closed. Closing Serial Port Default: Disabled

Deny Multiple

Allows only one network connection at a time per a serial port. Application

Network

accessing a serial port device across a network with get a connection (socket)

Connections

refused until:

 

z All data from previous connections on that serial port has drained

 

z There are no other connections

 

z Up to a 1 second interconnection poll timer has expired

 

This also enables a per-connection TCP keepalive feature. After approximately

 

3 minutes of network connection idle time, the connection will send a

 

gratuitous ACK to the network peer, thus either ensuring the connection stays

 

active OR causing a dropped connection condition to be recognized by all peer

 

network connections.

 

Applications using this feature need to be aware that there can be some

 

considerable delay between a network disconnection and the port being

 

available for the next connection attempt, allowing any data sent on prior

 

connections to be transmitted out of the serial port. Application network retry

 

logic needs to accommodate this feature.

 

Default: Disabled
