Packet Timeout
The maximum time that a packet will wait for characters from the modem before it
is sent. If this time limit is exceeded, the packet will be forwarded to the Dial-Out
client. Enter the duration of the packet Timeout in milliseconds. The default value is
720 milliseconds, with a maximum value of 65535 milliseconds.
Reducing this value may improve the response of the client if the typical data
transmission is smaller than a packet.
Trigger Characters
To access the Trigger Characters screen, click on this button.
Trigger Characters A trigger character is a character that forces the transmission of a network packet.
This can provide optimum performance if you are transmitting certain types of data
to the Dial-Out client. For example, if you are transferring files and each block of
transmitted data ends with a consistent and unique character, you can define the end
character as a trigger.
There is provision for up to 16 trigger characters. Enter the trigger character in
decimal (range 0-255). You can also enter the trigger in hexadecimal by setting the
display to hexidecimal.
