 You should not change any of the parameter names, but can change any of the values as needed for your application.
+**Important Parameters for Hosts and Tools**
+<file>
+  * deviceId - the device Id.  The host and tool must use the same device id
+  * baudRate - for SECSI tools, this is the serial port baud rate
+  * linkTestInterval - if greater than zero, TransSECS will periodically send an HSMS "linktest" messages.  This value is in seconds.
+</file>
+**Important Parameters for Tools**
+<file>
+  * passivePort - this is the port on which the tool will listen for connections from the host
+  * persistenceFileName - provide a filename for saving the GEM configuration.  This allows the configuration to persist over tool restarts.
+</file>
+**Important Parameters for Hosts**
+<file>
+  * equipmentHostName - the hostname or IP address of the tool
+  * activePort - the port on which the tool is listening for a connection.
+</file>
+**Timeout Parameters**
+Tool application will have these timeout parameters, as defined by the SECS standard.  Parameter units are as defined in the standard.:

+**Uncommon Parameters**
+<file>
+  * activeConnectionRetryInterval - for an "active" tool, TransSECS will periodically attempt a connection to the host. This value is in seconds.  (This is an unusual configuration and generally this parameter should not be changed).
+  * passivePort - Host applications.  This is used in host applications only when building a "pass through" or "Y-Tap" configuration. It should not usually be changed.

+**Tech Support Parameters**
