Specifications

MMaaxx SSiittee RReessppoonnssee TTiimmee..
When Lynx sends commands to a unit, it will allow up to the specified amount of time
for a response from that unit. Slow links may require a longer response time.
AAnnsswweerr iinnccoommiinngg ccaallllss..
When this box is checked, Lynx will answer an incoming data call from a remote site.
DDiissccoonnnneecctt TTiimmeeoouutt..
If Lynx stops receiving data from a connected site for more than the specified amount of
time, it will disconnect from the site.
DDiiaall--iinn TTiimmeeoouutt..
When a site dials in to Lynx, the application will allow the specified amount of time to negotiate
a connection. If a connection is not established after the timeout period, Lynx will drop the incoming call. This
prevents misdialed voice or fax numbers from tying up your site connection.
DDeeffaauulltt TTCCPP//IIPP PPoorrtt..
Lynx adds the numeric value of the site ID to the default TCP/IP port in order to utilize a
unique port for every connected site. Unless you have specific needs, the default setting of 10000 should be
acceptable. To prevent conflicts with other TCP/IP functions, avoid using a default port below 1025.
Note: If Site Sharing is enabled (see page 15), the client PC must specify the same default TCP/IP port as the server
PC.
Note: The connection settings you enter in the Connectivity tab determine global connection settings. When you
create a new site in Lynx, these are the default settings for that site. To specify different connection settings for one
site without altering connection settings for others, use the Connection Settings window (see page 21).
Logging
LLooggggiinngg TTiimmeeoouutt..
Specifies the amount of time
allowed for each attempt to download site data. Lynx
will abandon the attempt after the specified period
has lapsed.
MMiinn WWaaiitt aafftteerr TTiimmeeoouutt..
Specifies the amount of time
Lynx will wait before it retries a logging attempt after
a Logging Timeout has occurred.

Lynx will suspend logging when
the application is closed.
