Configure A Tcp Connection Timeout - Digi IX40 User Manual

Interfaces

Configure a TCP connection timeout

You can configure the number of times an unacknowledged TCP data packet will be retransmitted
before the connection is considered lost.
This feature is useful as it allows a backup system to control the serial port if the primary system goes
offline, or for the primary system to be able to recover regardless of whether there has been a
network disruption.
A low number of retries will end a "stale" connection more quickly that a larger number. The default is
15 retries.
