Available Flush Mode options are:Table 5-12.

Thestandard algorithm is optimized for applications in which the unit is used in a localenvironment. The alternate packing algorithm minimizes the packet count on thenetwork and is especially useful in applications in a routed Wide Area Network(WAN). Adjusting parameters in this mode can economize the network data stream.Pack control settings are enabled in Flush Mode. Set this value to 00 if specificfunctions are not needed.Table 5-13.
