Data Logging

The minimum data buffer size for all models is 1 KB. The maximum data

Buffer Size

buffer is 2000 KB for the DS1/TS2/STS8D, all other models are 4000 KB. If

 

the data buffer is filled, incoming serial data will overwrite the oldest data.

 

Note: A kill line or a reboot of the IOLAN causes all buffered data to be

 

lost

 

Values: 1-2000 KB (DS1/TS2/STS8D) - default is 4 KB

 

Values: 1-4000 KB (all other models) - default is 256 KB

 

The Data logging feature is a valid option for the TruePort Profile and TCP

 

Sockets Profile.

Pre V4.3G Data

Enable the data logging feature previous to V4.3G firmware.

Logging Mode

Default: Disabled

Status Interval

Specify how often, in seconds, the IOLAN will send a TCP Keepalive to

 

services that support TCP Keepalive.

 

Default: 180 seconds

Retry Interval

Sets the maximum time to wait for a response after sending a TCP keepalive

 

message.

 

Values: 1-32767 seconds

 

Default: 5 seconds

Retry Attempts

The number of TCP keepalive retries before the connection is closed.

 

Values: 1-32767

 

Default: 5
