Table 8: Port Settings Description
Setting Description
Timeout Reconnect If checked, the Com Port Redirector re-establishes the connection if the connection
times out
1
Server Reconnect If checked, the Com Port Redirector re-establishes the connection if the server closes it
1
Inband Listen If checked, the Com Port Redirector uses the inband redirector protocol on inbound
connections from a VS-81ETH. This protocol allows settings like modem signals, baud
rate and parity to be exchanged between Com Port Redirector and the server
Connection Timeout Specifies the maximum number of seconds that the Com Port Redirector waits for a
connection to be made before giving up on this attempt. If Timeout Reconnect is
enabled, each connection attempt lasts this long. If Timeout Reconnect is disabled, the
connection attempt fails after this interval and no more attempts are made
Force v2 Protocol N/A
No Net Close If checked, prevents the network connection from being dropped when the
communications application is closed. To drop the connection, click the Disconnect
button in the Com Port Redirector Configuration window. This allows applications to
close and reopen ports, without waiting for the network connection to be reestablished
and negotiated
Raw Mode If checked, Raw Mode forms a raw TCP connection to the server’s serial port,
accelerating the connection between the communications application and the server,
without sending configuration or status information from the PC to the server. When
using Raw Mode, configure the Com Port Redirector and your VS-81ETH to use the
same port number
1 When auto-reconnecting, the Com Port Redirector tries to reconnect until the connection succeeds or you click the Cancel
button in the pop-up connection dialog box. If the port was closed by the communications application or by clicking
Disconnect, the Com Port Redirector does not try to auto-reconnect
