6. IP Fragmentation
If set to ZERO, IP blocks sent from this EtherPath may be
fragmented in transit, and blocks may be fragmented by the
EtherPath. If set to ONE, the 'DONTFRAG' bit is set in IP packets,
and all blocks are transmitted intact. This is normally set to 0 , but
is set to 1 for some SCADA applications. The default is 0.
7. Operational Mode
Server and Client modes provide a raw data path and should be
selected when two EtherPaths are used in a nailed up configuration.
This is often named “raw sockets” mode and is transparent to the
data being transported.
Telnet Server and Telnet Client modes perform Telnet command
processing and should be used when an EtherPath is communicating
directly with a Host Telnet Client or Server.
8. Ethernet Mode
The EtherPath ethernet interface may be configured as 10Mbps or
100Mbps, half or full duplex; or AUTO. The default of AUTO is
most commonly used. If hard configured, insure that the hub or
switch matches the mode selected.
7. TCP Tx Timeout
When enabled, the local unit will close the connection if it is unable
to deliver data to the remote unit. The timeout is dependent upon the
round-trip time, but will be in the range of 5 to 12 minutes. When
disabled, the unit will try forever to deliver the data.
