Connection: Check to enable or uncheck to disable this feature. The default is 

enabled.

“removeAbandonedTimeout”: Check to enable or uncheck to disable this 

feature. Enabling this feature allows you to recover database connections 

from poorly written applications which fail to close a connection. The default is 

enabled. 

• removeAbandonedTimeout: The time out time before an abandoned 

connection can be removed. The default value is 180. 

• maxWait: The maximum time in milliseconds that the pool will wait for a 

connection before throwing an exception. Enter a value from -1 to 99999;

This page allows you to reinitialize the database. 

Click the Save button to start. 

6.3.4 PostgreSQL Settings Page 

• max_connections: The maximum number of concurrent connections to the 

database server. The default is 2000 connections, but may be less if your kernel 

settings do not support it. You can enter a value from 0 to 99999. This parameter 

can only be set at server start. Increasing this parameter may cause PostgreSQL 

to request more memory than your operating system default configurations allow. 

92 


• statement_timeout: Abort any statement that takes over the specified number of 

milliseconds, starting from the time the command arrives at the server from the 

client. You can enter a value from 0 to 999999, however, it is recommended to 

retain the default value 30000. 

• shared_buffers: Sets the amount of memory the database server uses for shared 

memory buffers. The default is typically 64 megabytes (64MB), but may be less 

if your kernel settings do not support it. Settings significantly higher than the 

minimum are usually needed for good performance. This parameter can only be 

set at server start. Increasing this parameter may cause PostgreSQL to request 

more shared memory than your operating system default configurations allow. 

6.4 VNC Repeater 

• VNC Port For Devices: Enter a VNC port for devices. The default value is 5500. 

• VNC Port For Viewers: Enter a VNC port for viewers. The default value is 5901.
