7: Setup Mode: Channel Configuration
Pack control settings are enabled in Flush Mode. Set this value to 00 if you do not
need specific functions.
Note: All bit positions in the table that are blank represent “don’t care” bits, for that
particular option, which can be set to either a 0 or 1 value.

Packing Interval
Packing Interval defines how long the unit should wait before sending accumulated
characters. This wait period is between successive network segments containing
data. For alternate packing, the default interval is 12 ms.
Trailing Characters
In some applications, CRC, Checksum, or other trailing characters follow the end-of-
sequence character; this option helps to adapt frame transmission to the frame
boundary.
Send Characters
If 2-Byte Send Character Sequence is enabled, the unit interprets the
sendchars as a 2-byte sequence; if this option is not enabled, the unit interprets
them independently.
If Send Immediately After Characters is not set, any characters already in the
serial buffer are included in the transmission after a "transmit" condition is found.
If this option is set, the unit sends immediately after recognizing the transmit
condition (sendchar or timeout).
Note: A transmission might occur if status information needs to be exchanged or an
acknowledgment needs to be sent.
