UDP Sockets Profile
Overview
When you configure
UDP
, you are setting up a range of IP addresses and the port numbers that you
will use to send UDP data to or receive UDP data from.
Enable TCP
Keepalive
Enables a per-connection TCP keepalive feature. This feature when enabled,
periodically checks if the TCP connection is still active. The period is
configurable on a global basis for the Terminal Server. If the connection is no
longer active, the Terminal Server will cleanly terminate the session at its end.
This parameter needs to be used in conjunction with
Monitor Connection
Status Interval
parameter found in the
Serial
,
Advanced
,
Advanced Settings
tab. The interval determines how long the Terminal Server will wait during
inactivity before "testing" the connection. It should be noted that if a network
connection is accidentally dropped, it can take as long as the specified interval
before anyone can reconnect to the serial port.
