Resolving Network Delays — Example

If you have a slower modem or a small model AS/400 system, you might
experience delays on the network. In this case, you can change the data request
timeout value to a higher number. Choose a number somewhat higher than the
default, and experiment with that value for a while. Youmust balance network
delays with resource usage that can cause bottlenecks on the system. The
following command changes the data request timeout value to 60 seconds:

A Word About Browsers...

As you read through this document, remember that Web browsers interpret HTML
differently.Your Web browser affects the way that the AS/400 menu and list
windows look on your display. For example, the
General
menu might look like a
spin box in the IBM WebExplorer, but in Netscape or Mosaic, it might look like a
drop-down menu.
It is impractical to provide information for every interface variation caused by a
browser.As a result, the information in this document might not accurately describe
the interface that you are using.
Also, because of the nature of today’s browsers, you might be unable to view this
help document and the AS/400 window in which you are working at the same time.
Youcan print this document for your convenience now and in the future.
