Chapter 2 Command Descriptions 53
description=string
A name for descriptive purposes only.
ipaddress=ipaddress
The IP address of the network destination to which a connection will be
made.
ipport=ipport
The TCP port of the network destination to which a connection will be
made.
connect_on_string=string
When the value of the “trigger” option is string, this option specifies the
string that must be found in the serial data in order for a connection to
occur. The maximum length of this string is 32 characters, including
escape sequences for special characters. For more details on the escape
sequences, see "Entering Special Characters in String Values" on page
10. The maximum parsed length of this string is 32 characters. That is,
this string must reduce down to a 32-character string when the escape
sequences are processed.
flush_string={on|off}
Indicates whether the connect string, specified by the
“connect_on_string” option, is flushed or sent over the newly established
connection.
on
The connect string is flushed.
off
The connect string is sent over the newly established connection.
The default is on.
keepalive={on|off}
Indicates whether or not TCP keepalives will be sent for the specified
range of clients. If set to on, keepalives will be sent, if it is off, keepalives
will not be sent.
Configurable TCP keepalive parameters, for example, how many
keepalives to send and when to send them are configured globally via the
"set network" command (see "set network" on page 84).
nodelay={on|off}
Used to allow unacknowledged or smaller than maximum segment sized
data to be sent.
Note: The “nodelay” option disables Nagle’s algorithm, which is on by
default, for some TCP services. The purpose of Nagle's algorithm is to
reduce the number of small packets sent. Briefly Nagle's algorithm says
to hold on to outgoing data when there is either unacknowledged sent
data or there is less than maximum segment size (typically around 1500
bytes for Ethernet) worth of data to be sent. It does a good job at keeping
transmission efficient, but there are times where it is desirable to disable
it.
