queued and sent in segments, when either the timeout or byte threshold is reached. Packing
applies to both Accept and Connect Modes.

Configure the Tunnel Packing Mode. Choices are:
Disable
= Data not packed.
Timeout
= data sent after timeout occurs.
Send Character

the data will be sent on the network. Valid range is 100 to 1450 bytes. Default is 512.
Timeout
Set the timeout value, in milliseconds, after the first character is received on the
serial line, before data is sent on the network. Valid range is 1 to 30000 milliseconds.
Default is 1000. This setting becomes available when the Timeout mode is selected.
