To configure XTerm to remember selections when run from a desktop PC, press the Create
Desktop Shortcut button. If you have entered passwords, you will be prompted if you wish to
store them in the shortcut. A shortcut that specifies the options you have selected will be placed
on the Windows desktop.
Many shortcuts to XTerm may be created, each with a different com port or configuration. Once
the shortcut has this additional information, XTerm will not display the communications
configuration screen when it starts.
Automatic Detection of Xperts on a Network
When connecting to a networked Xpert using the TCP/IP or Telnet options, a Detect button will
appear next to the URL box. Pressing the Detect button will display a list of Xpert stations and
various information including IP address, version number of Remote.exe, model, and serial
number. Selecting a station and pressing OK will copy that station’s IP address in to the URL
box. If Xterm is unable to detect a station it may be because an exception has not been created
for Xterm in Windows Firewall (requires access to UDP port 52733), or perhaps because the
Xpert is running firmware older than 3.2 before this feature was introduced.
The Detect button may also be used in conjunction with the Redirector option to list the stations
you own that are hosted by the Sutron Redirector service.
SSP Settings
The Setup button will display the SSP Settings screen containing advanced options for
controlling the timing of SSP messages. XTerm is optimized for a 115.2K baud direct
connection, and other settings are often necessary for slower or less-reliable connections.
Below is a description of each option and is the same description provided when the
corresponding help button (“?”) is pressed:
Carrier Delay (seconds): When the com port is set for ""RADIO"" communications, this is how
long to key the transmitter (assert DTR) to warm up the radio before sending data. With Sutron
radios typically 1 second or less is needed, but this may need to be increased if hardware
repeaters are used in the network, as each hard-repeater in the network needs time to warm-up.
Default 1 sec.
Reply Delay (seconds) : This is how long the XTerm will wait for a reply before timing out. This
delay includes the time needed for all retries to occur, so it's typically set to the value of
AckDelay * (# Retries). Default 10 seconds.
