Real-Time Socket Setup displays the following menu.
Data-Link DL100 - Real-Time Socket Setup
A) FILE1
B) FILE2
C) FILE3
D) FILE4
E) ALARMS
Each of the above items selects a RTS (real-time socket) to configure. A RTS is a Telnet
connection or socket that allows a user to connect directly to the data file for any serial port or the
alarms file. When connected, the DL100 will immediately deliver all records stored within the
file. Using real-time sockets will also allow the user to retrieve data in real-time, as soon as it
becomes available within the unit.
Each of the above selections brings up a menu similar to the following.
Data-Link DL100 - FILE1 Real-Time Data Socket Setup
A) Disable Real-Time Socket [OFF]
B) Show Answer String on Connection [ON]
C) Require Password on Connection [OFF]
D) Require Xon to Start Data Flow [OFF]
E) Idle Connection Close Timer [0]
F) Close Socket When File Empty [OFF]
Real-Time Socket Setup: Disable Real-Time Socket allows an administrator to turn on or off
RTS access for a particular file.
Real-Time Socket Setup: Show Answer String on Connection toggles a standard answer string
that can appear upon connection to an RTS.
Real-Time Socket Setup: Require Password on Connection toggles password controlled
access to the RTS. If password protection is enabled, the Access password for that file/port must
be used.
Real-Time Socket Setup: Require Xon to Start Data Flow is an on/off toggle for requiring
Xon to start data release on the RTS.
Real-Time Socket Setup: Idle Connection Timer sets the number of minutes to wait before
terminating an inactive RTS connection. A setting of "0" disables the idle disconnect feature.
Real-Time Socket Setup: Close Socket When File Empty toggles whether or not the unit will
close the RTS when all stored data is polled.
