2.4 Advanced Options for Windows Client Configuration

The Advanced Options window enables you to configure some advanced parameters for the Windows client. Most users do not need to alter these parameters, but you can adjust the default settings if necessary.

LAN access time-out

Specify the time in seconds that the socket can remain idle before it is closed. When this check box is empty, no LAN access time-out has been specified (and so an infinite timeout will be used). If you check this box, you can enter a time-out value in seconds in the adjacent field. The minimum value is 60 (for 60 seconds); if you leave the box blank or specify a value lower than 60, the Windows client uses the minimum value 60.

Max. broadcast attempts

Specify the maximum number of times the client attempts to connect to a server by broadcast. When the Advanced Options window is opened, the default value of 5 is displayed. The value in this box is used only if the UDP broadcasts check box is checked on the main Configuration window.

Reconnect time-out

Specify the time in seconds that the client waits before attempting to reconnect to a server after the server has gone down. When the Advanced Options window is opened, the default value of 200 is displayed.
