Configuring Device Properties

Use the following procedure to change device settings on a

DeviceMaster

.

1.

Open Comtrol Drivers Management Console (

Accessing the Comtrol Drivers

Management Console

on Page 29).

2.

Highlight the

DeviceMaster

device name that you want to configure.

3.

If desired, change the User-Friendly Device Name.

4.

Optionally, set a different

Keep Alive Timeout

(Page 39) period. You can set the

amount of time in seconds that this DeviceMaster waits until it closes this
connection and frees all the ports associated with it.

Note: This value may be set to less than 5 seconds, however the DeviceMaster

may not operate at any value less than 5. A recommended value to begin
experimentation with is 10.

5.

Optionally, set the

TCP Timeout Multiplier

(Page 40) value.

Note: This value should not be modified unless the network connection to the

DeviceMaster is very slow, such as, if a satellite uplink connection is
involved. It is recommended that a value over 3 never be used.

6.

Optionally, click a different

Scan Rate (ms)

(Page 40).

7.

Optionally, click Verbose Event Log if you want to log additional DeviceMaster
information into the event log.

8.

After making your changes, click Apply if you have additional configuration
procedures or click Ok if you have completed configuring your Comtrol devices.

Note: If you do not Apply the changes, you will be prompted to Apply, Ignore, or

Cancel the changes.

The following table provides detailed information about Device General tab options
for the DeviceMaster.
