Alive Check Time

   

(Default: 0 sec)   

When the operation mode is set to TCP Client, TCP Server, TCP Multi-Server, after a certain 

amount of time passes without any communication after the socket connection between the 

given serial port and the server is established, automatically disconnect the socket connection. 

If the value is set to 0, this function is disabled. Valid from 0 to 32767 seconds. 

 

z

 

MTU

   

 

(Default: 1 byte)   

MTU stands for Maximum Transmission Unit, and this option needs to be set when 

consecutive data from the given serial port needs to be transmitted to socket at once. If 100 

bytes of character string are to be transmitted from the serial device and MTU is set to ‘100’, 

Portbase waits until the entire 100 bytes are received. After receiving 100 bytes, it transmits 

this data to the server as a single packet, using the socket. If 200 bytes of character string are 

to be transmitted from the serial device, Portbase breaks this data into 2 packets of 100 bytes. 

If MTU  is set to ‘1’, however, each byte is transmitted right away in a packet, therefore 

multiple packets sent to the server. Valid from 1 to 1100. 

 

z

 

Port Login

 (Default: Disable) 

Options: Enable, Disable 

When the Operation Mode is set to TCP Server, ask for the username and password when the 

client tries to connect. 

You can set the username and password if this option is enabled.

When the Operation Mode is set as TCP Server, set the password to ask for. 32 Characters at 

maximum.
