•TCP Port Number
•Inactive Timeout
The TCP port that ICS-10X uses to listen to connections and that other device must use to contact ICS-10X. To avoid conflicts with well known TCP ports, the default is set to “1024”.
Use the parameter to set an inactive timeout. The unit drops the connection if there is no activity on the serial line before the set time expires. To disable the inactive timeout enter “0”.
