Menu Default Descriptions
Baud Rate 9600 bps
Set communication speed.
(Options: 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800,
921600 bps)
Data Bits 8
Set the number of bits in each character size.
(Options: 5, 6, 7, 8)
Stop Bits 1
Set the number of stop bits..
(Options: 1, 2)
Parity None
Set parity bit check scheme..
(Options: None, Odd, Even)
Flow Control None
Set the flow control scheme.
(Options: None, Xon/Xoff, RTS/CTS)
Device Type DataOnly
Set the signal line checking method for the device to be connected to the given serial port.
If the mode is set to Data Only, only TxD, RxD, and GND signal lines are used in inter-device
communication. If the mode is set to Modem Signals, all modem signals except RI(Ring
Indicator) are asserted, tested, and used in communication.
(Options: Data Only, Modem Signals)
Remote IP
Address / Port
0.0.0.0 /
4000
When the Operation Mode is either TCP Client or UDP Client, set the IP address and the socket
number to connect to..
Keepalive
Check
Time
0
After a certain amount of time passes without any communication after the socket connection
between the given serial port and the server is established, automatically disconnect the socket
connection. Valid from 0 to 32767 sec.
For example, if the operation mode is set to TCP Server and Alive Check Time is configured to
10, TCP Server will listen for the client’s connection and eventually establish a connection.
Since the check time is 10 seconds, the server will wait for 10 seconds until the client
connected to it sends any packet. If there is no data for 10 seconds, server will quit the
connection and return to the listening state. This option is helpful in preventing communication
obstacles that occur when either Eddy or the client quits unexpectedly (i.e. Sudden black out,
reboot, LAN cable cut, etc.). In these cases, the other part of communication might not
recognize the failure of its partner. Such misunderstanding can cause communication errors.
If the value is set to 0, this function is disabled. Once connected socket will be retained until
explicitly disconnected.
(Only applies to TCP Client, TCP Server, TCP Broadcast, and TCP Multiplex operation modes.)
Latency
Time
0
This needs to be set when consecutive data from the given serial port needs to be transmitted
to socket at once.
For example, if 100 bytes of character string are to be transmitted from the serial device to a
server through Eddy, bypass is set to 0 for the latency time. Although it provides immediate
sending through Eddy, the server could be received a lot parts of divided packets.
If the latency time is not 0, Eddy will wait for the time and check new data. If there is new
data, Eddy repeatedly wait for the time. Otherwise, Eddy will transfer the buffered data, but it
could not run in real time.
