Polling Protocol Terminal Timeout
This parameter determines the time in minutes that a terminal can be inactive before
the 9150 declares it offline. Before this happens, the terminal will be declared
offline by the Percent Polling Protocol Terminal Timeout parameter (see below).
After the terminal is removed from the system, it will need to re-initialize in order to
communicate with the 9150. This parameter reduces the overhead on the radio link
caused when terminals which are not communicating are supported.
The allowable values range from 1 to 240.
Note: This parameter is not relevant for Wlan.
Percent Polling Protocol Terminal Timeout
This parameter determines the time that a terminal is allowed to be inactive before
the 9150 declares it offline. This time is expressed as a percentage of the Polling
Protocol Terminal Timeout parameter (see above). For example, if the Polling Proto-
col Terminal Timeout is 60, and this parameter is set to 75%, then the timeout would
be 60 min x 75% = 45 minutes.
An offline terminal is still considered part of the system. Messages to offline termi-
nals are queued at the 9150. The terminal remains offline until it transmits an online
message.
Values for this parameter range from 50 to 90.
Direct TCP Connections for TekTerm
Enabling this parameter allows the TekTerm program resident in Teklogix
terminals to connect directly to the 9150, when it is acting as a base station to
a host via TCP/IP.
