DisConnTime (Inactivity Timeout)
Use this parameter to set an inactivity timeout. The unit drops the connection if there
is no activity on the serial line before the set time expires. Enter time in the format
mm:ss, where m is the number of minutes and s is the number of seconds.
DisConnTime (00:00) ?:
To disable the inactivity timeout, enter
00:00
. Range is 0 (disabled) to 5999
seconds
(99 minutes, 59 seconds). The default is
0
.
Send Characters
Enter up to two characters in hexadecimal representation in
SendChar
.
SendChar 1 (00) ? _
SendChar 2 (00) ? _
If the unit receives a character on the serial line that matches one of these
characters, it sends the character immediately, along with any awaiting characters, to
the TCP connection. This action minimizes the response time for specific protocol
characters on the serial line (for example, ETX, EOT). Setting the first sendchar to
00
disables the recognition of the characters. Alternatively, the unit can interpret two
characters as a sequence (see
Telnet Terminal Type
This parameter displays only if you enabled the terminal type option in Disconnect
Mode. With this option enabled, you can use the terminal name for the Telnet
terminal type. Enter only one name.
With terminal type option enabled, the unit also reacts to the EOR (end of record) and
binary options, useful for applications like terminal emulation to IBM hosts.
Channel (Port) Password
This parameter displays only if the channel (port) password option is enabled in
Disconnect Mode. With this option enabled, you can set a password on the serial
port.
