Port Configuration Tabs Protocol Selection Group - ICC XLTR-1000 Instruction Manual

ICC
Length
This field is the number of data elements for this timeout object. The total number
of bytes modified by this timeout object is determined by the length multiplied by
the number of bytes in the data type selected (1, 2 or 4).

8.3 Port Configuration Tabs Protocol Selection Group

This section describes each available field in the Protocol Selection group of the
port configuration tabs. Note that support of these fields will vary by protocol, and
that unsupported fields will automatically be made non-selectable within the
configuration utility.
Protocol
Select the desired protocol for the port.
Baud Rate
Select the network baud rate for the port.
Parity
Select the network parity for the port.
Address
Select the network address at which the gateway will reside.
Timeout
For master/client protocols, enter the request timeout in milliseconds. This setting
is the maximum amount of time that the gateway will wait for a response from a
remote device after sending a request.
For slave/server protocols, this value is the maximum amount of time the protocol
driver will wait in between received packets before triggering a timeout event (for
network loss detection). For further timeout processing details, refer to section
8.2.
Scan Rate / Response Delay
For master/client protocols, the scan rate is the number of milliseconds the
device will wait between sending requests. This is a useful feature for certain
devices or infrastructure components (such as radio modems) that may not be
capable of sustaining the maximum packet rates that the gateway is capable of
producing. The start time for this delay is taken with respect to the moment at
which the gateway is capable of sending the next packet (due to either reception
or timeout of the previous request). The default setting of 0 means that the
gateway will send its next request packet as soon as possible.
