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.
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).
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 connection 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 (0: 0) ?:
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 ( 0) ? _
SendChar 2 ( 0) ? _
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 on page 61).
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.
With terminal type option enabled, the unit also reacts to the EOR (end of record) and
binary options, useful for applications like terminal emulation to IBM hosts.
Channel (Port) Password
This parameter appears only if the channel (port) password option is enabled in
Disconnect Mode. With this option enabled, you can set a password on the serial port.
