Setting timeouts for connections

You can set a timeout for client connections. After this number of seconds, if the server has not received a command from the client, the client is disconnected.

  1. From the top menu, select Server > Listeners. The Listeners page opens.
  2. Click the IP address of the listener you want to open. The Edit Listener page opens.
  3. In Network timeout, enter a value in seconds.
  4. Click Save.

Note: Since this setting is made on the listener, it applies to all hosts that use the listener. If a host uses multiple listeners, it is possible that there may be different timeouts set depending on which listener the client used to connect to the host.
