NET.CFG Options Reference
Protocol SPX Option
If SPX has not heard from the other side of the connection within this time, it sends packets to the other side asking for verification that the connection still exists.
Syntax | spx listen timeout number |
| Replace number with a number of ticks. |
|
|
Default | 108 (about 6 seconds) |
|
|
Example | To set the amount of time (in ticks) that SPX waits before |
| it requests a packet to 11 seconds, you would place the |
| following lines in your NET.CFG file: |
| protocol spx |
| spx listen timeout 200 |
|
|
NOTE:There are approximately 18.21 ticks per second on IBM PCs and compatibles.
SPX VERIFY TIMEOUT numberSpecifies how often (in ticks) the SPX protocol sends a packet to the other side of a connection to indicate that it is still alive.
If no packets are being exchanged on the SPX connection by the software that established the session, SPX sends packets at regular intervals to verify its presence in the connection.
Syntax | spx verify timeout number |
| Replace number with a number of ticks. |
|
|
Default | 54 (about 3 seconds) |
|
|
Example | To specify that SPX send a packet to the other side of a |
| connection every six seconds, you would place the |
| following lines in your NET.CFG file: |
| protocol spx |
| spx verify timeout 108 |
