8. Client Local Character Echo
If ECHO is ON, the client EtherPath will locally echo all incoming
characters in client mode.
If ECHO is OFF, the client EtherPath will not echo characters or
transmit any status messages to the serial port. This mode should be
used if any messages from the EtherPath would create interference.
OFF is the most commonly used value.
9. Keep-Alive Frequency
Setting this parameter to a non zero value will enable a Keep-Alive
feature in the Unit. When the Unit is in Client or Telnet Client
mode, it will send Keep-Alive messages to the server at the
specified frequency when the link between the client and server is
idle. When the Unit is in Server or Telnet Server mode, it will close
the connection if the link is idle for more than 3.5 times the Keep-
Alive Frequency. [0=OFF, 1-32767 seconds]
