Host Idle Timeout (10 to 255 seconds):
The “Host Idle Timeout” setting monitors the connection between the host and the
device. If the “Host Idle Timeout” setting time is reached, the device server will
release the resources allocated to the port mapping. This prevents a stalled host from
affecting the connective device.
The device provides Multi-access function through Ethernet connection path. Allow
the maximum of 5 connections to open one serial port simultaneously. In the mode,
all connection has to use the same serial setting. If one serial setting of these con-
nections is different from others, the data communication may operate incorrectly.
There are two operating mode of Multi-access function. One is Normal mode;
another is Round-Robin mode.
Normal mode:
Disabling “Response Timeout” parameter, the device server will operate in “normal
mode”. When multiple hosts open the serial port simultaneously, the device server
only offers control ability for the first connected host and provides data communica-
tion function for others. Each serial port supports up to five simultaneous connec-
tions, so multiple hosts can transmit/receive data to/from the same serial port
simultaneously. Every host can transmit data to the same serial port, and the device
server will also transmit data to every host. When the multiple hosts transmit data to
the same serial port at the same time, the received data from Ethernet and the out-
puts of serial port are mixed. When the device server receives data from serial port,
the data will also be transmitted to the connected hosts simultaneously.
Note! The default value of "Host Idle Timeout" is 60 seconds.
