Option
Default
Selection
O) PhyTimeout (Min)
15 Min
Physical Timeout is how long the MultiConnect wait before
dropping a connection if no activity is sensed on the
network.
Enter a value between 0 and 255 minutes. Zero (0) disables
the timeout. The default is 15 minutes.
Normally, this option should be left in the default value.
P) DLE Mode
1
If set to 0, no specific process is needed on [ETX]
characters. This means that a host cannot request an end
of connection or receive a clear indication of the end of a
connection from the TCP/IP stack.
If set to 1, the [ETX] characters means a request or an
indication of end of connection. As a result, [ETX]
characters that belong to the payload must be sent by the
host on the serial port preceded by a DLE character.
Similarly, EXT characters received by the TCP/IP stack from
the Internet are sent to the host through the serial port
preceded by a DLE character.
Q) TCP TxDelay
100
milliseconds
This setting determines the time delay before sending a
TCP frame that is not entirely filled with user data.
Enter a time in milliseconds. A value of 0 sends a TCP frame
as soon as possible after the receiving a single character
value from the host.
R) Handshake TimeOut (sec) 90 seconds
This is a wireless modem timeout of between 1 and 255
seconds. Default is 90 seconds.
S) SIM Pin Code
Not required With the default setting, 1, a SIM pin code is not required.
Select 2 to enter or change a pin code. The pin code is a
four to eight digit number.
Note:
After 3 unsuccessful attempts to enter the PIN, the
PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) will be required.
T) Sig Strength Thres
7
Use signal strength threshold to keep calls from originating
when the signal is too weak. When the signal quality is at
or below this threshold, calls/sessions will not be
originated.
Enter t or T, then enter a lower signal strength threshold
from 1 to 31. Press ESC to abort.
Z) Enter Wireless Modem
Command Mode
Select this to open the command port on the wireless
modem to enter AT commands.
