Flow Control:
The type of flow control implemented. This parameter may take
one of the following values:
• None
• XON/XOFF – Software flow control. Unit will stop
transmitting if an XOFF (19) character (CTL-S) is detected in
the received stream and will start when an XON (17)
character (CTL-Q) is detected.
• RTS/CTS – Hardware flow control. Unit will stop transmitting
if CTS is de-asserted.
Default value = None
Ignore DSS:
This parameter takes one of the following values:
• No:
The Oper State of the port is UP if the DSR or DCD
handshake signal is on and the Admin State is
ENABLED.
• Yes:
The Oper State of the port is UP if the Admin State
is ENABLED
Default value = No
Pkt Char:
This parameter defines a special character in the data stream
that forces a packetization event. This parameter may take any
value from 0 to 255. If this parameter is set to the label “None”
packetization will not occur based on a received character.
Default value = None
Pkt Time (ms):
This parameter defines a timeout value in milliseconds. If an
additional character is not received before the timer expires, a
packetization event occurs. The special value 0 disables the
packetization timer.
Valid range = 10 msec to 1000 msec.
Default value = 10
Max Pkt Size (bytes):
This parameter defines a maximum packet size. When the
number of received characters reaches this maximum, a
packetization event occurs.
Valid range = 32 to 1024. (Note that this means no packet will
hold more than 1024 serial characters. The actual packet size
will be larger than this when network headers and encryption
overhead are taken into account.)
Default value = 1024
