After the Receiver warning timeout property has been exceeded (two seconds, in this case), the Receiver Remote
Display Window will dim and display a warning message to the user. The dimmed window and warning
message notify the user of the potentially stale contents in the Remote Display Window. During this time, the
Remote Display Window will appear unresponsive to the user. If connectivity returns, the Remote Display Window
will return to its normal appearance and interactivity.
If the connection loss extends beyond the Receiver error timeout property (30 seconds, in this case), the Remote
Display Window and the Receiver connection will be closed, and the "Connection Lost!" error dialog will be
displayed.
The recommended Receiver timeout strategy is to set a short warning timeout property and a longer error timeout
property. With these settings, the user is notified of potential network disruptions relatively quickly while allowing
sufficient time for the network to possibly recover. For networks with potential disruptions greater than two
seconds, a higher Receiver warning timeout property may be appropriate to lessen distraction of the user.
Experience has demonstrated that 30 seconds is a reasonable Receiver error timeout property, although some
users adjust this property lower to force connections to close sooner. Higher settings, such as 60 seconds, are
often impractical because they force the user to wait an inordinate amount of time before RGS closes the
connection.
