Field/Button Description
Inactivity Disconnect Timer Use the Hours and Minutes fields to specify the amount of time you
would like the IN-tact 1101 to hold the modem connection open after
the last transaction was processed. The modem will automatically
disconnect after the time you specify here transpires. By default, this
is set to five minutes. The valid range of entries is between zero
minutes and 24 hours. Setting this value to zero disables the timer
and the modem will stay indefinitely connected, regardless of the
status of the Ethernet connection. You will have to manually
disconnect the modem in this case. The value of Inactivity Disconnect
Timer (if not set to zero) must be greater than that of Ethernet Retry
Timer.
Ethernet Retry Timer Use the Hours and Minutes fields to set how often the IN-tact 1101
should retry the Ethernet connection while operating in dial backup
mode. If the Ethernet connection has been re-established, the IN-tact
1101 closes the modem connection and reverts to normal IP-based
transaction processing as soon as the Inactivity Disconnect Timer
expires. By default, the IN-tact 1101 rechecks the Ethernet
connection every minute. The valid range of entries is between 1 and
1439 minutes.
Dialing Mode Use the drop-down list to select whether the IN-tact 1101 begins
establishing a modem connection immediately upon Ethernet outage,
or waits until a transaction has been generated (default).
Allow Terminal Program
Downloads
Click this checkbox to enable terminal program downloads while
operating in dial backup mode. By default, this option is enabled.
However, because terminal downloads can take some time to
complete, you may not want them to occur during dial sessions, only
via IP sessions.
