configuration of up to sixteen hosts.
Reconnect Timer
Enter the reconnect time in milliseconds. The device attempts to reconnect after
this amount of time after failing a connection or exiting an existing connection.
This behavior depends upon the Disconnect Mode.
Note:
When you configure
Tunnel - Connect Mode
, you can specify a number of
milliseconds to attempt to reconnect after a dropped connection has
occurred. The default is 1500 milliseconds.
The
Reconnect Timer
only applies if a
Disconnect Mode
is configured.
With a
Disconnect Mode
set, the device server maintains a connection
until the disconnect mode condition is met (at which time the device server
closes the connection). If the tunnel is dropped due to conditions beyond
the device server, the device server attempts to re-establish a failed
connection when the specified reconnect interval reaches its limit.
Any network-side disconnect is considered an error and a reconnect is
attempted without regard to the
Connect Mode
settings. Simultaneous
Connect Mode
connections require some
Disconnect Mode
configurations or the connections will never terminate. See
Connect Mode for a specific tunnel: on page 58
for more information about
the parameters.
If
Disconnect Mode
is disabled and the network connection is dropped,
then the re-establishment of a tunnel connection is governed by the
configured
Connect Mode
settings.
Flush Serial Data

Enabled

to block (not tunnel) network data transmitted to the device. This
is a debugging tool that causes network data sent to the device to be ignored.
