Client_Keep_Alive_Timeout

The Client_Keep_Alive_Timeout option specifies how long (in seconds) to wait when checking if an RTclient is still alive. If more than Client_Read_Timeout seconds have occurred since the RTserver last heard from the RTclient, the RTserver sends a keep alive message to the RTclient. The RTserver waits for the number of seconds you specify here in Client_Keep_Alive_Timeout to hear back from the RTclient. If the RTserver does not hear back from the RTclient in that time, the RTserver destroys the connection to that RTclient. When Client_Keep_Alive_Timeout is set to 0.0, the keep alives are disabled.

If you enable the server-to-client keep alives by setting Client_Keep_Alive_Timeout and Client_Read_Timeout to values other than 0.0, the RTclients connected to this RTserver must be able to process the keep alive messages from the RTserver, using either TipcSrvMsgProcess or TipcSrvMainLoop.
