that issue the Accept_Conversation or

Accept_Incoming verbs). In this case, you may also need to define the TP on this client. For more information, see “Defining TPs”.

Specify invoked_tps = NO if this client is not used to run invoked TPs.

This line is optional; if it is not included, the default is NO.

lan_access_timeout

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 minimum timeout is 60 seconds (lower values are rounded up to 60 seconds). To bring down the TCP/IP connection more quickly, disable the SNAplus2 software on the client.

To indicate no timeout, so that the TCP/IP connection is kept active as long as the SNAplus2 software is running on the client, do not specify this parameter. This parameter is optional; if it is not specified, the default is no timeout.

broadcast_attempt_count

If the client uses the broadcast method to contact a server (specified by the * entry), this parameter specifies the maximum number of broadcasts to be made in one attempt to contact a server. 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.

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, this parameter specifies the time in seconds for which the client waits
