Managing SNAplus2 Clients
Managing Win16 Clients
Specify the time in seconds for which the TCP/IP
connection from the client to a server should be kept
active while no applications on the client are using
SNAplus2 resources. For more information, see “LAN
Access Timeout”.
The valid range is
0
–
65535
. The minimum timeout is
60 seconds (lower values are rounded up to 60 seconds).
To deactivate the TCP/IP connection more quickly,
disable the NAP on the client.
This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, the
default is no timeout, and the TCP/IP connection is
kept active as long as the NAP is running on the client.
broadcast_attempt_count
If the client uses the broadcast method to contact a
server (specified by the
*
entry described in
“[Servers]”), this parameter specifies the maximum
number of broadcasts to be made in one attempt to
contact a server.
The valid range is
1
–
65535
. The minimum value is
1
;
if a higher value is specified, the client retries every 10
seconds until it contacts a server or until this count is
reached. If the count is reached without contacting a
server, the client then attempts to contact a named
server (as described in “[Servers]”).
This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, the
default is
5
.
server_lost_timeout
If the client loses contact with a server and needs to
reconnect, or if it has failed to contact a server using
either broadcasts or named servers (as described in
“[Servers]”), this parameter specifies the time in
seconds for which the client waits before attempting to
contact a server. If the client has lost contact with the
server, SNAplus2 does not wait for the full timeout
period, but retries after a random period between 5
seconds and the specified timeout; this is to avoid
bursts of network traffic caused by large numbers of
clients attempting to contact a server at the same time.
This parameter is optional. The valid range is
5
–
65535
. If it is not specified, the default is
200
(seconds).
