IOLAN Device Server User’s Guide, Version 1.0

keepalive

Enables a per-connection TCP keepalive feature; after approximately 3 minutes of

network connection idle time, the connection will send a gratuitous ACK to the network
peer, either ensuring the connection stays active OR causing a dropped connection

condition to be recognised by the reverse raw service.
Applications using this feature need to be aware that there might be some considerable
delay between a network disconnection and the port being available for the next

connection attempt; this is to allow any data sent on prior connections to be transmitted

out of the serial port buffer. Application network retry logic needs to accommodate this
feature.

Hotkey Prefix
