checked: No connection.
unchecked: The netX Driver tries to establish a connection
using the configured TCP/IP interface.
Enter the IP address of the device, (if Use IP Range is not
checked).
Enter the start address of the IP scanning range, (if Use IP
Range is checked).
checked: An IP address range is used.
unchecked: Only one IP address is used.
Enter the ending address of the IP scanning range, (only if
Use IP Range is checked).
Displays the scanning range address count, depending on
the selected IP-start or IP-end address. (For this read the
note given below.)
Identifies the endpoint of a logical connection or addresses a
specific endpoint on the device or PC.
Maximum time before the transfer of the transmission data is
canceled, when the send process fails, for example, because
of the transfer buffer is full.
Maximum time for a device reset, including the reinitialization
of the physical interface used for the
communication.
The "Keep Alive" mechanism is used to monitor whether the
connection to the device is active. Connection errors are
detected using a periodic heartbeat mechanism. The
heartbeat mechanism is initiated after the set time has
elapsed, if the communication has failed.
Resets all settings in the configuration dialog to the default
values.

Note: Do not use large IP ranges in combination with a low scan timeout. Microsoft
introduced in Windows ® XP SP2 a limit of concurrent half-open outbound
TCP/IPconnections (connection attempts) to slow the spread of virus and malware from
system to system. This limit makes it impossible to have more than 10 concurrent halfopen
outbound connections. Every further connection attempt is put in a queue and
forced to wait. Due to this limitation a large IP range used in combination with a low scan
timeout could prevent the connection establishment to a device.
