3.4.5 Auto-reconnect function
Sometimes, the system crashes because the EDG Series is inter-
rupted or is powered-off by accident. Users want the host PC
to re-connect to the EDG Series automatically after such an oc-
currence. The EDG Series provides an “Auto-reconnect” func-
tion to solve this problem. When the EDG Series is powered-off
accidentally, the driver will keep trying to reconnect the EDG
Series automatically. When the EDG Series recovers or is pow-
ered-on, due to this auto-reconnect function, the host PC’s com-
mands will be received by the AEDG Series again. This function
enhances the reliability of the system.
Warning: If you want to enable the “Auto-reconnect” function,
please note that you can NOT enable the “Host idle” function at
the same time. The same also applies in reverse, e.g. if you want
to enable the “Host idle” function, you also can NOT enable the
“Auto-reconnect” function at the same time.
