Manual Direct Mapping Virtual Com Port - Advantech ADAM-4571 User Manual

Auto Reconnect Property:
Sometimes, the connection between Advantech serial device server and
HOST is interrupted by network traffic or powered-off by accident. In
such a situation, the host has to reconnect to Advantech serial device
server. The function "Auto Reconnect" is for this purpose, if the
Advantech serial device server loses the connection to its host, the COM
redirector will try to re-establish the connection while the host's AP
access the virtual COM port. The COM redirector DOES NOT re-estab-
lish the connection automatically. When the connection is working again,
the host's commands will be automatically received by the Advantech
serial device server again. Reconfiguration is not necessary, so this func-
tion enhances the reliability of the system.
If the function is disabled, the connection can not be re-established again
unless the COM redirector or host is restarted.
Note If you set the wrong IP address, COM redirector will
still try to connect the device. It might cause the system
performance low or other issue
