Firmware Update
This menu item is used for loading a firmware file to the device. If an update is required, you will
receive a new firmware version from Softing Industrial Networks GmbH.
For compatibility the major and minor version number of the Firmware and the NetCon should match.
See Firmwareupdate of echo devices.
Reboot
Use this menu item to reboot the device. All connections are closed.
Parameter in Flash
Here you can transfer the parameter settings to an external memory card inserted in the device.
When the transfer is complete, the memory card should be removed and kept in a safe place. If
necessary, you can then insert the card into the device and reboot it. The parameters are then
loaded to the device.
9.5.1 H1 System Settings
The H1 system parameters represent the operating parameters of layer 4. The settings should only
be changed in special cases. Please contact your system administrator before you make any
changes to these settings.
The dialog box provides the following settings.
Connect Request Time Interval (fast)
This parameter specifies the time interval between two Connect Request attempts if the connection
cannot be established. After the maximum number of fast CRs is reached, the slow CR time interval
will be used.
Connect Request Time Interval (slow)
Here you specify the time interval between two Connect Request attempts if the connection cannot
be established and the maximum number of fast CRs has been exceeded.
Number of Fast CRs
Here you define after how many failed Connect Request attempts the time interval between the
attempts is increased so that the attempts are performed less frequently. This reduces the network
load caused by unsuccessful attempts to establish connections. Whenever an established
connection is closed, the system tries to reconnect.
Time Between Send Retries
Time interval after which a frame is retransmitted.
