Packing
Enable Packing Two firmware-selectable packing algorithms define how and
when packets are sent to the network. The standard algorithm
is optimized for applications in which the unit is used in a local
environment, allowing for very small delays, while keeping the
packet count low. The alternate packing algorithm optimizes
the packet for the network and is especially useful in
applications in a routed Wide Area Network (WAN). Adjusting
parameters in this mode can economize the network data
stream.
Select True to enable packing on the WiBox.
Idle Time Select the maximum time for inactivity between data bytes on
the serial port. The default time is 12 milliseconds.
Match Byte 1 Use to set the termination byte. Set this value to 00 if not
used.
Match Byte 2 Use to indicate the end of a series of data to be sent as one
group. Set this value to 00 if specific functions are not needed.
Match 2 Byte Sequence
Used with Match Byte 1 and Match Byte 2 to indicate the
end of a series of data to be sent as one group. The
sequence must occur sequentially to indicate to the WiBox
end of the data packet.
Send Frame Only After the detection of the byte sequence, indicates whether to
send the data frame or the entire buffer (i.e. include the trailing
bytes). Select True to send only the data frame.
Send Trailing Bytes Select the number of bytes to send after the end-of-sequence
characters.
