Inactivity time
Real COM Mode
TCP Server Mode
TCP Client Mode
UDP Mode
Reverse Telnet Mode
Pair Connection Mode
RFC2217 Mode
Range: 0 to 65535 ms
Default: 0
Description: This specifies the time limit for keeping the
connection open if no data flows to or from the serial
device. If there is no activity for the specified time, the
connection will be closed. A setting of 0 means that the
connection will remain open even if data is never received.
For many applications, the serial device may be idle for
long periods of time, so 0 is an appropriate setting. If you
wish to use Inactivity time with TCP Client mode, you must
set Connection Control is to Any Character/Inactivity Time
(see Connection Control).
When adjusting Inactivity time, make sure that it is greater
than the Force transmit time. Otherwise, the TCP
connection may be closed before data in the buffer can be
transmitted.
Max connection
Real COM Mode
TCP Server Mode
TCP Client Mode
UDP Mode
Reverse Telnet Mode
Pair Connection Mode
RFC2217 Mode
Range: 1 to 4
Default: 1
Description: This specifies the maximum number of
simultaneous connections that the port will accept. When
adjusting Max connection, make sure that Ignore jammed IP
and Allow driver control are also adjusted correctly.
Ignore jammed IP
Real COM Mode
TCP Server Mode
TCP Client Mode

Reverse Telnet Mode
Pair Connection Mode
RFC2217 Mode
Range: Yes or No
Default: No
Description: This field specifies how an unresponsive IP
address is handled when there are simultaneous connections
to the device port (see Max connection). “Yes” means that
transmission to the other hosts will not be suspended if one
IP address becomes unresponsive. “No” means that all
transmission will be suspended if one IP address becomes
unresponsive, and will resume when all hosts have
responded. “Yes” is the recommended setting when Max
connection is 2 or more.
