a. Enter the maximum message length before the 460 Gateway stops receiving a

particular message from the device.

b. Enter a value 10 to 60000 milliseconds to enable the receive character timeout. If

the 460 should never receive messages from the device (printer, sign, etc.), enter 0

to disable this timeout. However, if you want the 460 Gateway to poll a device

periodically regardless of how much data is accumulated, a value (other than 0)

here sends the data and then clears the buffer out after the amount of time you

select. For example, if you enter a value of 1000, the serial device sends data to

the 460 Gateway every 1 second. Even if it was in the middle of the transmission,

all data from the buffer is sent to the 460 Gateway.

c. Using delimiters is the best way to control your data. If the serial device can

output delimiters, select the correct incoming start and/or end delimiter

information for data going from the ASCII device to the 460 Gateway. If the

serial device can process incoming delimiters, select the correct outgoing start

and/or end delimiter information for data going from the 460 Gateway to the

ASCII device. The bytes should NOT be the same for both start and end.

If no delimiters are possible or desired, select Unused from the top of the drop-

down menu(s).

If you do not want the start or end delimiters to be sent with the data, check the

Discard all delimiter byte(s) box.

d. Select the port that the device uses to connect to the 460 Gateway.

e. Select the appropriate communications mode.

f. Select the correct transmission settings from the menus.
