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).
