3.14.14 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 Error!
Reference source not found. on page Error! Bookmark not defined. ).
3.14.15 Telnet Terminal Type
This parameter appears only if the terminal type option is enabled in Disconnect Mode (see Error!
Reference source not found. on page Error! Bookmark not defined. above). If this option is enabled, you
can use the terminal name for the Telnet terminal type. Enter only one name.
If the terminal type option is enabled, the unit also reacts to the EOR (end of record) and binary options,
which can be used for applications like terminal emulation to IBM hosts.
3.14.16 Channel (Port) Password
This parameter appears only if the channel (port) password option is enabled in Disconnect Mode (see
Error! Reference source not found. on page Error! Bookmark not defined. ). If the option is enabled, you
can set a password on the serial port.
3.15 E-mail Settings
Note: The XPort Device Server allows the circuit designer the option of using three I/O pins for different
purposes. These are referred to as Configurable Pins and are designated CP1, CP2 and CP3.
In order to use the E-mail function on the XPort, you will need access to the configurable pins. The NET485
limits the access so you cannot use the configurable pins to trigger an E-mail message. Your only option is
to use a two-byte serial string to initiate a trigger.
If your device sends out a lot of character strings, then it might not be a good choice to use with the E-mail
trigger option.
Note: You can change these settings via Telnet or serial connections only, not on the Web-Manager. To configure e-
mail settings via DeviceInstaller, see E-mail Notification in the DeviceInstaller User Guide.
