New: Support Win2000 New Option: "OpenTimeOut": You can use this option to prevent blocking situation if you want to open port which is not abailable (network lost). "Return error if network is unabvailable": You can use this option to detect host network problem. If host network is unavailabe, you will get error return code "STATUS_NETWORK_UNREACHABLE" while calling Win32 Comm function. This usually means your host lose network connection, maybe the cable is disconnected. If NPort is power off or disconnected but your host network is still available (you can reach other network device), the driver will not report any error. If you want to do this (NPort check alive), you need to enable "Auto Network Re-Connection". "Auto Network Re-Connection": Driver will send "check alive" packet. In this situation, if driver can not reach NPort it will try to re-establish the TCP connection with NPort until ok. In this time, driver will return STATUS_NETWORK_UNREACHABLE if you enable "Return error if network is unabvailable" and calling any Win32 Comm function. Ver1.0 1. New: First released.
