If send characters are enabled, the TCP2RS interprets the sendchars as a 2-byte sequence;
if not set, they are interpreted independently.
If "Send Immediately After Characters" is
not
set, any characters already in the serial
buffer are included in the transmission after a “transmit” condition is found. If set, the
TCP2RS sends immediately after recognizing the transmit condition (sendchar or
timeout).
Note:
A transmission might occur if status information needs to be
exchanged or an acknowledgment needs to be sent.
4.5.11 Inactivity (Disconnect) Timeout
Use this parameter to set an inactivity timeout. The connection is dropped if there is no
activity on the serial line before the set time expires. Enter time in the following format:
mm:ss, where "m" is the number of minutes and "s" is the number of seconds. To disable
the inactivity timeout, enter
00:00
.
4.5.12 Send Characters
You can enter up to two characters in hexadecimal representation in the parameters
“sendchar”. If a character received on the serial line matches one of these characters, it is
sent immediately, along with any awaiting characters, to the TCP connection. This
minimizes the response time for specific protocol characters on the serial line (for
example, ETX, EOT, etc.). Setting the first sendchar to
00
disables the recognition of the
characters.
Alternatively, the two characters can be interpreted as a sequence (see Pack Control on
page 4-11).
4.5.13 Telnet Terminal Type
This parameter appears only if the terminal type option is enabled in Disconnect Mode
(see Disconnect Mode). If set, you can use the terminal name for the Telnet terminal
type. Enter only one name.
If the terminal type option is enabled, TCP2RS also reacts to the EOR (end of record)
and binary options, which can be used for applications like terminal emulation to IBM
hosts.
4.5.14 Channel (Port) Password
This parameter appears only if the channel (port) password option is enabled in
Disconnect Mode (see Disconnect Mode). If set, you can set a password on the serial
