Configuring Ports from C•CURE 800/8000Table 7-2: Network Port Options, continuedBox Field DescriptionPort timeoutdelay time:1/10th sec.Enter the extra interval in 1/10ths of a second that the host waitsfor a response from devices on this port after sending a messageto the device.This field applies to ports for apCs only.The operating system automatically generates a timeout delaybased on the communications speed of the port on which thedevice resides. The Port timeout delay time is added to thesystem-generated timeout delay and starts after the systemgeneratedtimeout expires. If the host does not receive aresponse before the Port timeout delay time expires, the Polltimeout delay time for the individual apC or switcher starts or theModem response wait time for the modem starts.For example, the total timeout delay for an apC is equal to:system-generated delay time + Port timeout delay time + Polltimeout delay time.The system-calculated timeout delay is usually sufficient.However, if you require additional delay time for a network port,increment the value by 1 up to a maximum of 5. Keep this valueas small as possible, or system performance may be affected.This option lets you specify one timeout delay for all devicesattached to the network port.Example:If you have several apCs on a network port, use this fieldto specify one timeout delay for each apC.Identification (cont.)Activate thiseventduring commfailureSee “Configuring Panels” on page 3-4 for information about thepoll timeout delay time for apCs; “Configuring Advanced Optionsfor Non-OEM Host Modems” on page 8-9 for information aboutthe Modem response wait time for modems; and theC•CURE 800/8000 Video Guide for information about poll timeoutdelay time for CCTV switchers.Enter an event to activate when a communications failure occurson this port.
