Protocol Type of communications protocol. TCP/IP
Buffersize Buffer size for transmitting data to and from the remote Sterling Connect:Direct node. This value overrides the value in the initialization parameters file. A numeric value 256 - 65536.

The default is 65535.

Pacing Send Count Number of send operations to perform before automatically waiting for a pacing response from the remote Sterling Connect:Direct node. A value of 0 indicates that there is no pacing. This value overrides the value in the initialization parameters file. A numeric value 0 - 63.

The default is 0.

Pacing Send Delay Amount of time Sterling Connect:Direct waits before sending each outbound data buffer to the remote node. Setting this value can prevent flooding of the network. A value of 0 indicates that Sterling Connect:Direct sends each data buffer as soon as possible. This value overrides the value in the initialization parameters file. An integer 0 - 86400.

The default is 0.

CRC Turns on CRC checking.

The default value for the local node is OFF. The default value for the remote node is blank.

The remote node defaults to blank to simplify the use of the crc.override parameter. When crc.override is enabled in the initialization parameter, only the nodes that require a different configuration must be changed.

OFF | ON | blank
