This parameter sets the TCP/IP service port for this
server. Each server can have its own unique
service port or can share the same number with
other servers.
Connection Timeout: 0 or
5000 to
65535
This parameter specifies the number of
milliseconds the server will permit the server to be
inactive after a connection is made before closing
the socket. This timeout period is reset on each
read or write packet. If the parameter is set to 0, the
connection will not timeout.
Connection Close Type: 0, 1 or 2 This coded parameter defines the personality of the
server after a connection is made. If the parameter
is set to 0, the socket will only be closed when a
request from the client is received or the connection
timeout is exceeded. If a value of 1 is selected, the
server will close the socket after it transmits a
single message. If a value of 2 is selected, the
server will close the socket after it receives a
message.
Swap Rx Data Bytes: Yes or
No
This parameter is determines if the data received
by the server will have the byte order of the data
swapped. If the parameter is set to No, no byte
swapping will occur. If the parameter is set to Yes,
the odd byte will be swapped with the even byte in
each word of data received.
Swap Tx Data Bytes: Yes or
No
This parameter is determines if the data to be
transmitted by the server will have the byte order of
the data swapped. If the parameter is set to No, no
byte swapping will occur. If the parameter is set to
Yes, the odd byte will be swapped with the even
