 Ignore DCD Before Tx’ing
Allows the user to check for an inactive DCD before transmitting. If selected, no data is sent until DCD becomes
active
 DCD Timeout
If Ignore DCD Before Tx’ing is selected, DCD Timeout determines the length of time to wait for DCD to become
inactive before data is sent. If the DCD does not become inactive during this time, the data is not sent.
 SYNC Character
Allows the user to select the SYNC character when utilizing a Sync/Esc (Framing) Mode. The Sync Character is the
first character of a frame to be sent. This character is a HEX character.
 ESC Character
Allows the user to select the ESC character when utilizing a Sync/Esc (Framing) Mode. The ESC Character precedes
any embedded SYNC or ESC characters that follow the initial SYNC character. This character is a HEX character.
 CTS Timeout
Selects the RTS to CTS timeout when using an RTS/CTS hardware handshaking mode. This is the amount of time (in
50mS increments) the software will allow for the CTS line to become active after asserting the RTS line.
 TCP/IP Response
Enter a time interval between 1.5 and 600 (seconds) to allow for the Unit to respond to Programming Commands
over a TCP/IP Connection. The value of this may require the use of the About Utility. By pinging the destination IP
Address, the utility will give back Minimum / Maximum / Average Times it takes to send and receive a packet over
the TCP/IP Connection. A safe value will be to use the Maximum Time (in seconds).
