Setting Options: 0 to 65535 ms
Default: 0
Description: Specifies the time limit for keeping the connection open
if no data flows to or from the serial device. If there is no activity for
the specified time, the connection will be closed. A setting of 0
means that the connection will remain open even if data is never
received.
For many applications, the serial device may be idle for long periods
of time, so 0 is an appropriate setting. If you wish to use Inactivity
time with TCP Client mode, you must set Connection Control to Any
Character/Inactivity Time (see Connection Control).
When adjusting Inactivity time, make sure that it is greater than the
Force transmit time. Otherwise, the TCP connection may be closed
before data in the buffer can be transmitted.

Setting Options: Yes or No
Default: No
Description: This field specifies how an unresponsive IP address is
handled when there are simultaneous connections to the device port
(see Max connection).
Yes
means that transmission to the other
hosts will not be suspended if one IP address becomes
unresponsive.
No
means that all transmission will be suspended if
one IP address becomes unresponsive, and will resume when all
hosts have responded.
Yes
is the recommended setting when Max
connection is 2 or more.
