Chapter 6 - RouteFinder Manager
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. RouteFinder RF802EW User Guide
Dial-up/Hang-up Settings - The Dial-up/Hang-up settings allow you to specify your
connection time (idle timeout or auto reconnect) and the number of times to attempt to
connect if a connection cannot be established.
1. From the main Manager dialog box, click Port Settings.
2. Click Dial-up/Hang-up Settings. The Dial-up/Hang-up Settings dialog box
displays.
Individual Port Options - Individual Port Options lets you set the idle-timeout
function for each serial port of the RouteFinder. You can set the number of minutes you
wish to allow a connection to stay idle before disconnection.
Note: Default idle timeout for IP Routing is 5 minutes. Default idle timeout for Remote
Access is 30 minutes.
If you un-check the idle-timeout, once a client establishes a connection, the
connection will be maintained until you turn off your modem, unplug your network
device or use the Terminate Connection function in the RouteFinder monitor program.
The Automatic Reconnect (Always connect) essentially maintains your connection (idle
time out = infinite). If the connection is disconnected for any reason, it will
automatically attempt to reconnect.
Dial-up Retry Options - The Dial-Up Retry option allows you to specify the number
of times the RouteFinder should attempt to establish a connection.
If the retry count is 0, the device will not dial-out to connect to the remote site.
Note: Automatic Reconnect overrides the Retry count setting if retry count is set to 0.
