[Server 0] Server definitions
Enabled: Y or N This parameter determines if the server will be utilized
by the module. If a value of "Y" is entered, the server
will be used. Any other value will disable the server.
Service Port
Number:
1 to 65535 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:
Y or N 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 N, no byte swapping will occur. If
the parameter is set to Y, the odd byte will be swapped
with the even byte in each word of data received.
Swap Tx Data
Bytes:
Y or N 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 N, no byte
swapping will occur. If the parameter is set to Y, the odd
