Serial Port Profiles

Packet Forwarding Tab Field Descriptions

The Packet Forwarding tab can be used to control/define how and when serial port data packets are sent from the IOLAN to the network.

Configure the following parameters:

Minimize Latency This option ensures that all application data is immediately forwarded to the serial device and that every character received from the device is immediately sent on the network. Select this option for timing-sensitive applications.

Default: Enabled

Optimize Network This option provides optimal network usage while ensuring that the application

Throughput performance is not compromised. Select this option when you want to minimize overall packet count, such as when the connection is over a WAN.

Default: Disabled

Prevent Message

This option detects the message, packet, or data blocking characteristics of the

Fragmentation

serial data and preserves it throughout the communication. Select this option

 

for message-based applications or serial devices that are sensitive to

 

inter-character delays within these messages.

 

Default: Disabled

Delay Between

The minimum time, in milliseconds, between messages that must pass before

Messages

the data is forwarded by the IOLAN.

 

Range: 0-65535

 

Default: 250 ms

Custom Packet

This option allows you to define the packet forwarding rules based on the

Forwarding

packet definition or the frame definition.

 

Default: Disabled
