Advanced Serial Settings Tab

Overview

Advanced serial port settings apply to all serial ports.

Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Process Break
Signals

Enables/disables proprietary inband SSH break signal processing, the Telnet
break signal, and the out-of-band break signals for TruePort.

Default: Disabled

Flush Data Before
Closing Serial Port

When enabled, deletes any pending outbound data when a port is closed.

Default: Disabled

Deny Multiple
Network
Connections

Allows only one network connection at a time per a serial port. Application
accessing a serial port device across a network with get a connection (socket)
refused until:

z

All data from previous connections on that serial port has drained

z

There are no other connections

z

Up to a 1 second interconnection poll timer has expired

This also enables a per-connection TCP keepalive feature. After approximately
3 minutes of network connection idle time, the connection will send a
gratuitous ACK to the network peer, thus either ensuring the connection stays
active OR causing a dropped connection condition to be recognized by all peer
network connections.

Applications using this feature need to be aware that there can be some
considerable delay between a network disconnection and the port being
available for the next connection attempt, allowing any data sent on prior
connections to be transmitted out of the serial port. Application network retry
logic needs to accommodate this feature.

Default: Disabled
