client-initiated
When this option is turned on, the IOLAN will wait for a connection from the TruePort 
host (see the TruePort documentation for information on how to set up this feature on 
the TruePort host). When this option is turned off, the IOLAN will initiate the 
connection to the TruePort host. The default is off.
signal-active
This option has the following impact based on the state of the TruePort connection:
z
TruePort Lite Mode—When enabled, the EIA-232 signals remain active before, 
during, and after the TruePort connection is established. When disabled, the 
EIA-232 signals remain inactive when there is no TruePort connection and active 
when there is a TruePort connection.
z
TruePort Full Mode—When enabled,  the EIA-232 signals remain active before 
and after the TruePort connection and the TruePort client will control the state of 
the signals during the established TruePort connection. When disabled, the 
EIA-232 signals remain inactive before and after the TruePort connection and the 
TruePort client will control the state of the signals during the established TruePort 
connection.
Default: Enabled
