The 

Time Out

 interval is used by the Print Server Plus

to instruct the local network workstation to reinitialize
advertising after the modem connection has been
terminated.  If a remote workstation has a connection
with a local host workstation and the modem
connection is disrupted or terminated, the remote
user may re-establish the modem connection and
resume the session with the local host workstation
before the 

Time Out

 interval elapses.  The default

Time Out

 interval is 90 seconds and may be

programmed from 0 to 650 seconds.  If you program
the 

Time Out

 interval to be 0 seconds, the Print

Server Plus will immediately instruct the local host
workstation to reinitialize after the modem connection
has been terminated.
