Usage


 

Usage

This area is where you define the type of communication the port will support.
Range: Any option that is not gray
 

Speed

This value defines the speed at which the port operates.
Range: Any speed available in the list (dependent upon the attached devices)
 

Parity

This is the parity used for the T7 connection to the DAP
Range: None, Odd, or Even
 

Data Bits

This is the number of data bits used for the T7 connection to the DAP.
Range: 5 -- 8 data bits
 

Stop Bits

This is the number of transmit stop bits used for the T7 connection to the DAP.
Range: 1, 1.5, or 2 bits
 

Idle Timer

This parameter sets the idle timer used for the T7 connection to the DAP. This timer determines how long the unit waits to receive characters belonging to each frame. The timer starts when the unit receives a character. One frame contains all characters received until the idle time between each character exceeds the configured value.
To disable the timer, set this parameter to zero.
Range: 0 --5000 milliseconds
 

T7 IP Address

This address identifies the CMS management station. This is the device to which the unit forwards T7 data received from the DAP.
Range: 4 numbers (0--255) separated by three periods
 

T7 UDP Port

Leave this parameter set to its default value. No other value is currently valid.
Range: -
 

T7 Tx Frame Gap

This value defines the transmit frame gap used for the T7 connection to the DAP. This value guarantees a minimum time between transmitted frames, enabling the T7 device to distinguish between frames.
To disable this feature, set the value to zero.
Range: 0 -- 5000 milliseconds
 

T7 Rx Forwarding Count

This value defines the number of characters the unit receives before forming them into a frame and forwarding them across the network.
Range: 1 -- 1024 characters
 

Slip IP Address

This address identifies the SLIP interface.
Range: 4 numbers (0-255) separated by three periods
 

Slip Network Mask

This value defines the number of bits used for the subnet address
Range: 4 numbers (0--255) separated by three periods\
 

Slip Default Gateway

This parameter defines an IP default gateway address.
Range: 4 numbers (0--255) separated by three periods
 

Slip Transmit/Receive RIP Packets

This parameter defines whether RIP packets should be sent on this interface
Range: Neither, Both, Transmit, or Receive
