Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

 

S0 - Auto-Answer Ring Count

 

This register, when set to a number greater than zero, will enable support for answering incoming connections on the TCP port specified by the S1008 register.  When an incoming connection is received, COM/IP will output a single RING message, followed by a CONNECT message.  COM/IP will switch to online mode and the COM port will be connected to the remote host.

 

 

S2 - Escape Sequence Character

 

This register will hold the ASCII value of the escape character.  The escape sequence will be a period of silence, as defined in S12, followed by three escape characters, followed by another period of silence.  This will cause COM/IP to switch from online mode to command mode while a connection is open.

 

The default is 43 (the + character).

 

 

S3 - Carriage Return Character

 

This register will hold the ASCII value of the carriage return.  The default is 13.

 

 

S4 - Line Feed Character

 

This register will hold the ASCII value of the line feed.  The default is 10.

 

 

S5 - Backspace Character

 

This register will hold the ASCII value of the backspace.  The default is 8.

 

 

S12 - Escape Sequence Guard Time

 

This register will hold the value of the silence period required when issuing an escape sequence, in 1/50th of a second increments.  The default value is 50 (1 second).

 

 

S95 - Negotiation Progress Messages

 

This register, when set to anything other than zero, will override the W setting regarding how COM/IP reports connection progress.  The default is 0.

 

Setting bit 2 of the register will enable the CARRIER message.

 

Setting bit 3 of the register will enable the PROTOCOL message.

 

Setting bit 5 of the register will enable the COMPRESSION message.

 

 

S100 - RING Message Interval

 

This register will specify (in 1/10th second units) the interval between RING messages issued to the application when a connection is received.  After nine RING messages, COM/IP will stop and close the incoming connection.

 

The default value is 29 (2.9 seconds).
