Connection Timeout (ms)
Connection timeout is the time the WP-IP machine will wait when trying to establish a connection
before stopping, resting, and then trying again. Usually, during this time the connection status will
display orange (Connecting) in the newsrooms panel. Then while it’s resting (usually for five seconds)
the connection status is red.
Once a connection is established, connection timeout no longer comes into play.
The timeout adjustment is made by a slider. The range is 1000ms to 6000ms
Please Note: increasing this timeout range may help where there are slow network connections
Heartbeat Timeout (ms)
Once a connection is established the Heartbeat function begins. Heartbeat timeout is how long WP-
IP will wait before deciding there’s a problem
, shutting the connection down and then trying to re-
establish it. A heartbeat is sent every 10 seconds.
Break Identifier
Enter text into the box to determine the text which WP-IP will look for to recognise what the NRCS is
sending as a break. This should match the text which is within the MOS tag sent in the MOS
message.
Please Note: The parameters of the break are then determined by the Break field in the Presenter
settings.
Initialise Run Order List
If a NRCS does not correctly respond to the <roReqAll> MOS message this prevents WP ever getting
into the Connected state with that newsroom.
This feature enables a user to select to skip this step when connecting to a NRCS.
