10. Sequence Disconnect: Enables/Disables and configures
the Resident Disconnect command. This prompt offers the
option to either disable the Sequence Disconnect, or select
a one character format or a three character format.
(Default = One Characters). Note the following:
·
When a Resident Connection is initiated, the APS will
send a message which lists the connected ports, and
displays the one character or three character command
that will be required in order to disconnect.
·
The One Character Disconnect sequence is intended for
situations where the destination port will not receive the
disconnect command. When the Three Character format
is selected, the disconnect sequence will pass through to
the destination port prior to breaking the connection.
·
When the One Character format is selected, resident
connections are terminated by entering the selected
Logoff Character only. There is no need to press [Enter]
before and after the Logoff Character when the One
Character format is selected.
·
When the Three Character format is selected, the
Resident Disconnect Sequence will use the format
"[Enter]LLL[Enter]", where L is the selected Logoff
Character.
11. Timeout Disconnect: Enables and selects the Timeout
Period for this port. If enabled, and the port does not
receive or transmit data for the specified Timeout Period,
the port will disconnect. In Any-to-Any Mode, Passive
Mode, or Buffer Mode, the default setting for this item is
“OFF”. When the port is set for Modem Mode, the default
setting for this item is 15 minutes.
Notes:
·
The Timeout Disconnect is also applied to non-
connected ports that are left in Command Mode. If
no additional data activity is detected, an
unconnected port will exit from command mode
when the Timeout Disconnect value expires.
·
When connected ports time out and are
disconnected, both ports will also exit from
Command Mode.
