Common Options
Telnet Mode This field is available for configuration only when Active Connection is
not set to None. Select Enable to permit Telnet communication to the
WFS802b unit
Terminal Name This field is available for configuration only when Telnet Mode is set to
Enable.
Use the terminal name for the Telnet terminal type. Enter only one
name. When this option is enabled, the unit also reacts to the EOR
(end of record) and binary options, which can be used for applications
such as terminal emulation to IBM hosts.
Connect Response A single character is transmitted to the serial port when there is a
change in connection state. Default setting is None.
Use Hostlist If this option is set to True, the device server scrolls through the host
list until it connects to a device listed in the host list table. Once it
connects, the unit stops trying to connect to any others. If this
connection fails, the unit continues to scroll through the table until it is
able to connect to another IP in the host list.
The host list is disabled for Manual Mode and for Modem Mode. The
unit will not accept a data connection from a remote device when the
host list option is enabled.
LED Select Blink for the status LEDs to blink upon connection or
None for no LED output.
Disconnect Mode
On Mdm_Ctrl_In
Drop
Set to Yes for the network connection to or from the serial port to drop
when modem_control_in transitions from a high state to a low state.
Hard Disconnect When set to Yes, the TCP connection closes even if the remote site
does not acknowledge the disconnect request.
With EOT Choose Yes to drop the connection when Ctrl-D or Hex 04 is detected.
Both Telnet mode and Disconnect with EOT must be enabled for
Disconnect with EOT to function properly. Ctrl D is only detected going
from the serial port to the network.
Inactivity Timeout Use this parameter to set an inactivity timeout. The unit drops the
connection if there is no activity on the serial line before the set time
expires. Enter time in the format mm:ss, where m is the number of
minutes and s is the number of seconds. To disable the inactivity
timeout, enter 00:00.
