Keepalive

Check

Time

0

After a certain amount of time passes without any communication

after the socket connection between the given serial port and the

server is established, automatically disconnect the socket

connection. Valid from 0 to 32767 sec.

For example, if the operation mode is set to TCP Server and Alive

Check Time is configured to 10, TCP Server will listen for the client

’s

connection and eventually establish a connection. Since the check

time is 10 seconds, the server will wait for 10 seconds until the client

connected to it sends any packet. If there is no data for 10 seconds,

server will quit the connection and return to the listening state. This

option is helpful in preventing communication obstacles that occur

when either SerialGate or the client quits unexpectedly (i.e. Sudden

black out, reboot, LAN cable cut, etc.). In these cases, the other part

of communication might not recognize the failure of its partner. Such

misunderstanding can cause communication errors.

If the value is set to 0, this function is disabled. Once connected

socket will be retained until explicitly disconnected.

(Only applies to TCP Client, TCP Server, TCP Broadcast, and TCP

Multiplex operation modes.)

Latency

Time

0

This needs to be set when consecutive data from the given serial

port needs to be transmitted to socket at once.

For example, if 100 bytes of character string are to be transmitted

from the serial device to a server through SerialGate, bypass is set to

0 for the latency time. Although it provides immediate sending

through SerialGate, the server could be received a lot parts of

divided packets.

If the latency time is not 0, SerialGate will wait for the time and check

new data. If there is new data, SerialGate repeatedly wait for the

time. Otherwise, SerialGate will transfer the buffered data, but it

could not run in real time.

When operating with TCP Multiplex mode, the SerialGate sends a

data to the device and waits given amount of time. When there are
