Important!
While using Pair Connection mode for two RS-232 services distance extend, the DB9/RS-232 cables are very
importance in this application. There are much kind of RS-232 cables, such as straight cable (standard) and
Null-Modem cable. Please make sure the DB9/RS-232 cables match the below constriction:
Serial Device to ICS-210x/Remote (Slave) – Use the original RS-232 serial cable attached in the
serial device package.
Host / Client to ICS-210x/Local (Master) – It has to use the Null-Modem cable!
Users can use the Null-Modem cable directly connect to the ICS-210x (Master), or use the Null-Modem DB9
connector, as the picture shows:
Once the Pair Connection mode of two ICS-210x be correctly configured but still fail link, check the RS-232
cables!

Allow the ICS-210x to connect actively to the remote host whose IP address is
set by this parameter.
The TCP port that ICS-210x uses to listen to connections and that other device
must use to contact ICS-210x. To avoid conflicts with well known TCP ports,
the default is set to "1024".
Use the parameter to set an inactive timeout. The unit drops the connection if
there is no activity on the serial line before the set time expires. To disable the
inactive timeout enter "0".
