Data Length:
This is the amount of data required to be received over the Serial
connection to the Main control board before the data packet is sent out
over the Network Socket. For use in NCD Devices it is recommended to
leave this setting at 0.
Clear Data Buffer when TCP Connected
The Gen3 module has an internal buffer where data received over it’s serial
connection may be stored. This setting determines whether or not that
data buffer should be emptied when a TCP socket connection is established
to the board or from the board to the Server. For most applications it is
recommended to leave this setting checked.
Request Admin Password
This setting is only available when the Gen 3 module is in TCP Server
Mode. This setting requires software connecting to the Gen 3 module to
submit a password in order to communicate with it. The Password from
the Password field is utilized as the connection authorization password. It
should be noted that this setting has not yet been thoroughly tested by
NCD Staff.
Connect TCP Server When
This setting is only available when the Gen 3 module is in TCP Client
Mode. This setting determines when a socket should be established with
the Remote Host TCP server. Options are Power On and Serial Data
Received.
Auto Message
This setting determines whether the Gen 3 module should send a message
to the Client or Server when a socket is initially established. This is not
necessary for most applications as it is possible to retrieve this information
from the socket, however it may be utilized to identify the device to the
software. Options are No Message, Device Name, Device IP, or Device MAC
address.
Inactivity(ms)
This setting determines how long a socket will be maintained if no data is
transmitted or received over a network socket connection. After this
amount of time the Gen 3 module will disconnect the socket. If it is not
desired to automatically disconnect the socket after no data is transferred
for a specified amount of time set this field to 0.
