To configure remote communications, select System Settings… from the

Configuration menu. Select the Remote Communications tab.

Description

 

 

Encrypt RSP Packets check box

Select encryption if there is a need for security in the network

 

when transferring packets between the remote resource and

 

the local system.

 

The default setting is Not Selected.

 

 

No Autodiscovery check box

Select this box to prevent auto-discovery of remote resources.

 

If selected, you will only be able to access remote resources by

 

manual discovery of resources using the Connect option from

 

the Host menu. This box can be selected when working with

 

only local resources to eliminate viewing all resources in the

 

Resource Browser. The auto-discovery of resources may take

 

some time, especially in a large network.

 

The default setting is Not Selected

 

 

RSP Time Out value

Specifies, in seconds, how long the protocol waits before drop-

 

ping a connection when the remote resource is not responding.

 

The value must be between 1 and 30 seconds.

 

The default setting is 10 seconds.
