Configuring the Unit
4.6.11 DisConnTime (Inactivity Timeout)
Use this parameter to set an inactivity timeout. The connection is dropped if there is no
activity on the serial line before the set time expires. Enter time in the following format:
mm:ss
, where
m
is the number of minutes and
s
is the number of seconds. To disable the
inactivity timeout, enter
00:00
. Range is 0 (disabled) to 5999 seconds (99 minutes, 59
seconds). Default setting is 0.
4.6.12 Send Characters
You can enter up to two characters in hexadecimal representation in the parameters
"sendchar." If a character received on the serial line matches one of these characters, it is
sent immediately, along with any awaiting characters, to the TCP connection. This
minimizes the response time for specific protocol characters on the serial line (for example,
ETX, EOT, etc.). Setting the first sendchar to
00
disables the recognition of the characters.
Alternatively, the two characters can be interpreted as a sequence (see
on
4.6.13 Telnet Terminal Type
This parameter appears only if the terminal type option is enabled in Disconnect Mode (see
above). If this option is enabled, you can use the terminal name
for the Telnet terminal type. Enter only one name.
If the terminal type option is enabled, the unit also reacts to the EOR (end of record) and
binary options, which can be used for applications like terminal emulation to IBM hosts.
4.6.14 Channel (Port) Password
This parameter appears only if the channel (port) password option is enabled in Disconnect
Mode (see
). If set, you can set a password on the serial port.
4.7 E-mail Settings
Note:
You can change these settings via Telnet or serial connections only, not on the Web-
Manager.
An e-mail can be sent to multiple recipients when a specific trigger event occurs. There are
three separate triggers, based on any combination of the configurable pins (PIO) when
selected as user I/O functions. A two-byte serial string can also be used to initiate a trigger.
