Campbell Scientific LoggerNet Datalogger Support Software - Manual (Page 104)

Section 4. Setting up Datalogger Networks
Maximum Time On-Line – Enter a time limit for maintaining a connection to
the device. (This may be useful in avoiding costly communication costs, in the
event that a connection to a station is inadvertently maintained for a long
period of time.) Maximum Time On-Line applies to both scheduled
connections and manual connections. However, for manual connections from
the Connect Screen, it is always best to manually disconnect rather than relying
on LoggerNet to disconnect for you.
When the device is contacted on a schedule, communication with the device
will be terminated once this time limit is exceeded. A value of 0 in this field
indicates that there is no time limit on maintaining a connection to the device.
When the device is connected in the Connect Screen and the time limit
approaches, a dialog box is displayed warning the user that Max Time On-Line
is about to be exceeded. The dialog box has Reset Max Time and Don’t
Reset buttons. If the Reset Max Time button is pressed, the Max Time On-
Line counter will be reset. If the Don’t Reset button is pressed or if no button
is pressed, the connection will be terminated when Max Time On-Line is
reached.
The format for this field is 00 h(ours) 00 m(inutes) 00 s(econds).
If you are using LoggerNet Admin or LoggerNet Remote 4.0 and
using the Connect Screen to connect to a remote server that is
running an older version of LoggerNet, the behavior will be
different than described above. When connecting to a LoggerNet
3.4.1 server, you will be disconnected with no advanced warning
when Max Time On-Line is reached. A message will be displayed
indicating that Max Time On-Line has been reached. When
connecting to servers older than LoggerNet 3.4.1, the behavior
will be variable. Generally, you will be disconnected at some
point, but the timing of the disconnect will not be predictable.
Maximum Baud Rate – The maximum baud rate at which communication
will take place with this device.
Advanced
Extra Response Time – The amount of additional time, in seconds, that
LoggerNet should wait for this device to respond. Note that Extra Response
Time is cumulative for all devices in the network.
Delay Hangup – The amount of time, in seconds and milliseconds, that
LoggerNet should delay before hanging up the link to the device. If a new
command to the device is issued before the delay has expired, communication
will not be terminated.
Serial Ports
The Serial Ports tab is used to add all of the serial ports that are connected to
base modems that can be used to call this site. The dialing string entered in the
phone remote under the SerialPortPool must work in conjunction with any of
the modems connected to the serial ports added to the pool.
