Pack Control 

The packing algorithms define how and when packets are sent to the network. The 
standard algorithm is optimized for applications in which the unit is used in a local 
environment, allowing for very small delays for single characters, while keeping the 
packet count low. The alternate packing algorithm minimizes the packet count on the 
network and is especially useful in applications in a routed Wide Area Network 
(WAN). Adjusting parameters in this mode can economize the network data stream.  

Pack control settings are enabled in Flush Mode. Set this value to 

00

 if you do not 

need specific functions. 

Note:

 All bit positions in the table that are blank represent “don’t care” bits for 

that particular option; they can be set to either a 0 or 1 value.
