Accept Mode
In Accept Mode, the XPort Pro Lx6 listens (waits) for incoming connections from the network. A
remote node on the network initiates the connection.
The configurable local port is the port the remote device connects to for this connection. There is
no remote port or address. Supported serial lines and associated local port numbers progress
sequentially in matching value. For instance, the default local port is 10001 for serial line 1.
Serial data can still be received while waiting for a network connection, keeping in mind serial data
buffer limitations.
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.
Send Character Enter Control Characters in any of the following forms:
<control>J
0xA (hexadecimal)
\10 (decimal)
If used, the Send Character is a single printable character or a control
character that, when read on the Serial Line, forces the queued data to be
sent on the network immediately.
Trailing Character Enter Control Characters in any of the following forms:
<control>J
0xA (hexadecimal)
\10 (decimal).
If used, the Trailing Character is a single printable character or a control
character that is injected into the outgoing data stream right after the Send
Character. Disable the Trailing Character by blanking the field (setting it to
<None>).
