OPERATIONAL MODE
Operational Mode
The Canlan supports several modes of operation, some intelligent, designed
to ease host workload and network traffic and others acting as simple
Ethernet to RS485 bridges. The modes are selectable on a product basis for
simplicity.
Choose one of the three operational modes:

Maestro

SmartLock Pro/Connect

Zodiac Max
Idle Auto-Disconnect
The idle auto-disconnect inactivity timer drops any active host connection
after a specified interval (in minutes) during which no data is transmitted or
received. This option helps prevent against a hung connection with a host
which has gone offline without properly closing the socket connection or
other situations where packet loss may occur.
Recommended Setting
For SmartLock Pro/Connect, it is highly recommended that idle auto-
disconnect is enabled with a value of 1 for the duration in minutes.
Idle auto-disconnect is not needed for Maestro systems, because the Maestro
interface monitors the connection to ensure it is active.
