Use this page to configure SPXTM settings for the IPXTM 32-bit protocol.
SPX Connections
Check the Enabled box to enable distribution of this setting to all associated
workstations. After you enable the distribution, this option becomes available
for configuration.
Range: 1 to 255
Default: 15
This setting is provided for compatibility with applications that query this
information and make decisions based on it.
SPX does not use this setting to limit the number of SPX connections. The number of SPX connections is limited only by the amount of available memory.
SPX Verify Timeout
Check the Enabled box to enable distribution of this setting to all associated
workstations. After you enable the distribution, this option becomes available
for configuration.
Range: 1 to 65535 (ticks)
Default: 54
Specify how often (in ticks) the SPX protocol sends a packet to the other side
of a connection to indicate that it is still connected. You should not adjust
this setting unless SPX is timing out too soon.
If no packets are being exchanged on the SPX connection by the software that established the session, SPX sends packets at regular intervals to verify its presence in the connection.
SPX Listen Timeout
Check the Enabled box to enable distribution of this setting to all associated
workstations. After you enable the distribution, this option becomes available
for configuration.
Range: 1 to 65535 (ticks)
Default: 108
Specifies how long (in ticks) the SPX protocol waits without receiving a packet
from the other side of the connection before it requests the other side to send
a packet to confirm that the connection is still valid.
You should not adjust this setting unless SPX is timing out too soon.
SPX Abort Timeout
Check the Enabled box to enable distribution of this setting to all associated
workstations. After you enable the distribution, this option becomes available
for configuration.
Range: 1 to 65535 (ticks)
Default: 540
Specifies how long (in ticks) the SPX protocol should wait without receiving
any response from the other side of the connection before it terminates the
session.
You should not adjust this setting unless SPX is timing out too soon.
Allow Connection Watchdogging
Check the Enabled box to enable distribution of this setting to all associated
workstations. After you enable the distribution, this option becomes available
for configuration.
Default: On
To have SPX honor application requests for connection watchdogging, check this
box.
To force SPX to ignore connection watchdogging requests, uncheck this box.
