Chapter 2 Command Descriptions 131
table (applies to master only)
Defines which table is used to route messages to their destination. This
applies only to master-attached devices.
type={master|slave}
Defines whether the serial device configured with this command is a
master or a slave device. For peer support, such as DF1 Full Duplex, set
this option to "master."
Options for configuring network masters – incoming message sources
The following command options apply to network listeners.
active={on|off}
Enables or disables the network listener that accepts network
connections.
chartimeout=3-65535 milliseconds
After a first byte is received, this is the time to wait for additional bytes to
either consider the message complete or to be aborted. The default is
protocol-specific, but usually 50 milliseconds. The time tags “ms,” “sec,”
and “min” can be used, so entering “5sec” results in a setting of 5000
milliseconds.
command={destroy}
Destroys, or deletes, this master entry. This stops the network listener
and the protocol connection will no longer be accepted.
idletimeout=1-65535 seconds
The master aborts a connection after the remote client has been idle for
this time. The time is saved in seconds, and the best use for this timeout
is to speed up fault recovery. For example, many wide-area networks can
suffer shutdowns without the Digi device detecting it. Using the idle
timeout will speed up detection of lost TCP connections. The default is 5
minutes. The range is 1 to 65535 seconds and the time tags “ms,” “sec,”
and “min” can be used.
ipport=0-65535
Defines the UDP or TCP port to listen for protocol messages on.
Modbus/TCP defaults to TCP port 502. AB/Ethernet defaults to TCP port
2222. Ethernet/IP defaults to TCP port 44818.
messagetimeout=10-65535 milliseconds
When messages are received from remote clients, this is the time to allow
the message to wait to be answered. This includes both the queuing and
slave response delays, and this should be set to slightly less than the
timeout of the remote client. After this time, the Digi device assumes the
remote client no longer wants a response. The default is 2500
milliseconds. The time tags “ms,” “sec,” and “min” can be used.
