REMOTE VIDEO SYSTEM IP

46

When using RealPort (COM port redirection) or RFC 2217, these settings are supplied by applications
running on the PC or server, and the default values on your Remote Video System IP device do not need to
be changed.

Configure Advanced Serial Settings

Use the advanced serial settings to further define the serial interface. You can also define how specific aspects of
TCP and UDP serial communications should operate, including timeouts and whether a socket ID is sent.

TCP Settings

The TCP settings are displayed only when the current port is configured with the Custom Profile. The settings
are as follows:

• Send Socket ID: Include an optional identifier string with the data sent over the network. The Socket ID

can be 1 to 256 ASCII characters. Type in non-printable characters as follows:

Table 4-1. Socket ID non-printable characters.

Character

Key Sequence

backspace

\b

formfeed

\f

tab

\t

new line

\n

return

\r

backslash

\\

hexadecimal values

\xhh

• Send data only under any of the following conditions: Enable if you need to specify the conditions when the

Remote Video System IP device will send the data read from the serial port to the TCP destination.

- Send when data is present on the serial line: Send the data to the network destinations when a specific

string of characters is detected in the serial data. Enter the string of 1 to 4 characters in the Match String
field. Type in non-printable characters as follows:

Table 4-2. Match String non-printable characters.

Character

Key Sequence

hexadecimal values

\xhh

tab

\t

line feed

\n

backslash

\\

- Strip match string before sending: Use match string to look for a specific string (a list of characters). The

RVS removes this string of characters from the data before the data is sent to the destination.

- Send after the following number of idle: Send the data after the specified number of milliseconds has

passed with no additional data received on the serial port. This can be 1 to 65,535 milliseconds.
