it is possible for the same character being
sent as data from another device to be
interpreted by the host module as the
attention character. This could result in
unwanted port disconnection. If enabled, the
Disconnect Time Guard feature provides
reliable binary data transmission by
providing a one-second “timeguard” after
the host module receives the attention
character. If more data is received within
the delay period, the host module treats the
character as data, not an attention character;
thereby preventing unwanted port
disconnection. Default Disconnect Time
Guard is disabled.
From the configuration menu, select #6, “Disconnect Time Guard,”
followed by <cr>. The host module displays the current status and asks if
you want to change:
Disconnect Time Guard is..................Disabled
