Packing Interval
Packing Interval defines how long the unit should wait before sending accumulated
characters. This wait period is between successive network segments containing data.
For alternate packing, the default interval is
12 ms
.
Trailing Characters
In some applications, CRC, Checksum, or other trailing characters follow the end-of-
sequence character; this option helps to adapt frame transmission to the frame boundary.
The default setting is
00
(none).
Send Characters
If
2-Byte Send Character Sequence
is enabled, the unit interprets the sendchars as
a 2-byte sequence; if this option is not enabled, the unit interprets them
independently. The default setting is
0
(disabled).
If
Send Immediately After Characters
is
not
set, any characters already in the serial
buffer are included in the transmission after a "transmit" condition is found. If this
option is set, the unit sends immediately after recognizing the transmit condition
(sendchar or timeout). The default setting is
0
.
Note:
A transmission might occur if status information needs to be exchanged or
an acknowledgment needs to be sent.
DisConnTime (Inactivity Timeout)
Use this parameter to set an inactivity timeout. The unit drops the TCP connection to the
local port if there is no activity on the serial line before the set time expires. Enter time in
the format
mm:ss
, where
m
is the number of minutes and
s
is the number of seconds.
DisConnTime (00:00) ?:
To disable the inactivity timeout, enter
00:00
. Range is 0 (disabled) to 5999 seconds (99
minutes, 59 seconds). Default setting is
0
.
Send Characters
Enter up to two characters in hexadecimal representation in sendchar.
SendChar 1 (00) ? _
SendChar 2 (00) ? _
If the unit receives a character on the serial line that matches one of these characters, it
sends the character immediately, along with any awaiting characters, to the TCP
connection. This action minimizes the response time for specific protocol characters on
the serial line (for example, ETX, EOT). Setting the first sendchar to
00
disables the
recognition of the characters. Alternatively, the unit can interpret two characters as a
sequence (see
Pack Control
). The default setting is
00.
Telnet Terminal Type
This parameter displays only if you enabled the terminal type option in Disconnect Mode.
With this option enabled, you can use the terminal name for the Telnet terminal type.
Enter only one name.
