Guide
for Disconnect with EOT to function properly. Ctrl D is only
detected going from the serial port to the network.
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. To
disable the inactivity timeout, enter
00:00
.
Connection
Connection LED
Select
Blink
for the status LEDs to blink upon connection or

the serial port drops.
On Active Connection
Clear the network buffer upon initializing a connection.
On Passive
Connection
Clear the buffer upon a connection initiated from the network
to the serial port.
Flush Output Buffer
At Time of Disconnect
Clear the buffer when the network connection to or from the
device is dropped.
On Active Connection
Clear the buffer with a new connection initiated from the
device to the network.
On Passive
Connection
Clear the buffer with a connection from the network to the
device.
Packing
Enable Packing
Two firmware-selectable 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, while keeping the
packet count low. The alternate packing algorithm optimizes
the packet for 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.
Select
True
to enable packing on the WiPort.
Idle Time
Select the maximum time for inactivity between data bytes on
the serial port. The default time is 12 milliseconds.
Match Byte 1
Use to set the termination byte. Set this value to 00 if not
used.
Match Byte 2
Use to indicate the end of a series of data to be sent as one
group. Set this value to 00 if specific functions are not needed.
