If you have set option
tcp_always_on0
, and DSR is DOWN, the terminal server waits for
a DSR UP signal. When DSR UP is detected, the TCP connection is initiated.
42.6.1.3
TCP connection clearing
The TCP connection is cleared either by the network or by the terminal server application
itself.
The TCP connection is cleared by the terminal server when it detects DSR interface
signal DOWN and option
close_tcp_on dsr
is 1.
42.6.1.4
TCP connection re-initiation
After TCP connection clearing, the terminal server takes action to re-setup the TCP
connection after a hand off timeout.
If you have set option
tcp_always_on1
, or DSR state is UP, the TCP connection setup is
initiated.
If you have set option
tcp_always_on0
, and DSR is DOWN, the terminal server waits for
a DSR UP signal and then initiates a new TCP connection.
42.6.2
DSR signal behaviour in TCP server mode
42.6.2.1
TCP connection initiation at startup
After a short startup delay, the terminal server starts listening for an incoming TCP
connection from the remote peer.
42.6.2.2
TCP connection clearing
When in a TCP connection state, the TCP connection is cleared only by the network.
Serial interface signals such as DSR do not cause TCP disconnection.
42.6.2.3
TCP connection re-initiation
When a TCP session goes down in the connected state, the terminal server immediately
restarts listening for a new TCP connection from a remote peer.
42.6.3
DSR signal behaviour in UDP mode
42.6.3.1
UDP session setup at startup
If you have set option
tcp_always_on1
, or DSR state is UP, the UDP session is setup
immediately on startup.
If you have set option
tcp_always_on0
, and DSR is DOWN, the terminal server waits for
a DSR UP signal. When DSR UP is detected, the UDP session is setup.
42.6.3.2
UDP session clearing
A UDP session is normally never cleared, but if it is closed by the network sub-system, it
gets re-setup after a hand off timeout.
A DSR signal DOWN event does not clear UDP session in the connected state.
