HOSTEX_LINEMODE Data Type

VT

The HOSTEX_LINEMODE data type specifies how HostExplorer stores characters in a buffer until you send a carriage return to the host. When enabled, Line mode forces HostExplorer to send characters one line at a time rather than as individual characters. Using line mode is useful when you are trying to reduce costs on networks that charge per packet or when you are experiencing long network delays. By default, this data type is set to HOSTEX_LINEMODE_DONTDOLINEMODE.

It has the following values:
