Connection Resource (hex) | Connection resource, it enters as MSB byte to the calculation of the value of Remote TSAP at initialization of ISO Connection-request. See the description of parameter Use long TSAP. | 0x0 to 0xFF | 3 |
| ISO Local TSAP (Transport Service Local Point). Source TSAP value during the initialization of ISO Connection-request. See the description of parameter Use long TSAP. | 0x0 to 0xFFFF | 0x1000 |
| ISO Source Reference. Value of SRC-REF during the initialization of ISO Connection-request. | 0 to 65535 | 1 |
| Enables a long format of local and remote TSAP which is sent during the connection setup phase. Short TSAP is 2 bytes long. Short local TSAP has the following format:Short remote TSAP has the following format:Long local TSAP is 28 bytes long. Last 2 bytes are higher and lower byte of parameter Local TSAP Full remote TSAP is 28 bytes long and it contains: | - | False |

S7 Subnet ID-part 2 (hex) | S7 subnet address sent as a part of Remote TSAP, if parameter Use long TSAP is set to True | 0x0 to 0xFFFF | 0 |
ISO TPDU Size Variable Parameter | The maximum required size of ISO TPDU. The parameter value the initialization of ISO Connection-request. | 8192, 4096, 2048, 1024, 512, 256 or 128 bytes | 1024 bytes |
Nr. of Parallel Network Threads | Maximum parallel communication threads. Increase the value if there is a request on more data read from the device in a shorter time. | 1 to 4 | 1 |
| The required time of one data reading cycle. | ms | 1000 ms |
| Maximal wait time on a reply from the device. | ms | 2500 ms |
| Delay which is used before sending a data request. When a high data transfer rate is required, set 0 ms. | sec.ms | 20 ms |
| Delay before reconnection to the device if the connection has failed or some communication error has occurred. | sec.ms | 2 sec |
| When Timeout passes and communication error occurs in all threads, a communication error status is set on the stations. FALSE state is set on the communication line. | sec.ms | 20 sec |
