Remote IP Address |
IP address of remote server to make connection to. |
Remote Port |
Remote IP Port Number. The protocol will use
its default value if left blank |
Socket Type |
The protocol will
use its default value if left blank
TCP |
Reliable connection-oriented service |
UDP |
Connectionless datagram |
|
Local Port |
Should be left at 0 to let the operating system
automatically allocate the next unused local port number. When using a
non zero local port, Please note that In NT and Windows 2000, TCP does not
release a connection until the connection
has remained closed for a period specified by the value of HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\
Parameters\TcpTimedWaitDelay.
The default value is 240 seconds. Set this registry value to 30
seconds. |
Mode |
Primary is selected if left blank.
Primary |
Always connected. |
Hot Standby |
Always connected. Write will only be executed when
all primary has failed. |
Standby |
Connection will only be attempted when all primary
or hot standby has failed. |
Interface |
Network interface to use for this connection. Left
blank to choose first available interface. |
TTL |
Time To Live. |
|
Server: Wait for Connection |
Wait for incoming connection from clients. Use this mode
if attached devices are acting as slaves waiting for requests from
remote masters.
Port |
Local Port number of Server. The protocol will use its
default value if left blank |
|
Heart Beat Timeout |
A connection is closed if it does not receive a
heart beat from its partner within the Timeout period. This
feature is disabled if Timeout is set to 0.
|
Heart Beat Port Number |
Receive heart beat at this port. The remote
device may transmit heart beat via TCP, UDP, subnet broadcast or
multicast. The heart beat can be any message. It the Port Number
is zero then any message from that device will be accepted as
the heart beat.
|
Connection Timeout |
Maximum time to wait for a response to a ping and to set
up a TCP/IP connection.
|
Login ID |
Send this string as the first message of this
connection. e.g "12\r\n"
|
BER |
The encoding Bit Error Ratio. Set to 0 to disable
Reed Solomon Forward Error Correction (with Pseudo-random symbol interleaving). The software will dynamically use
RS(31,k) to
RS(1023,k) depending on the BER and frame size. The second number
is the measured BER of the transmitted data, the BER should be greater
than this value. Each end must use the same BER.
|
Key |
32 bit key for pseudo random symbol interleaving. Press New
to create a new key. Each end must use the same key.
|
Zip Data Compression |
ZIP software data compression.
None |
Do not use compression |
Frame |
Compress at frame level only. |
Streaming |
Streaming compression. Compression information are
maintained across frame, this achieve much higher level of
compression. The compression information are only reset on
timeout. |
|
Simulate BER |
Generate bit errors on transmitted data at this BER. Set
to 0 for normal operation.
|
Errors Corrected (Tx/Rx) |
Number of error corrected at remote and local
node. |
BER (Tx/Rx) |
Bit Error Ratio of remote and local
node. |
Raw Bytes (Tx/Rx) |
Total number of bytes actually transmitted and received |
Total Bytes (Tx/Rx) |
Total number of bytes transmitted and received
before FEC or Compression |
Compression Ratio (Tx/Rx) |
Compression ratio of Transmit and Receive data |
Note: Windows 95 users, please make sure Winsock 2.0 is installed.
