Warning Timeout Species the amount of time in seconds after receiving the last network traic from the
server before the user is warned of a lost connection. This function can be disabled by
clearing the option or setting the time to zero.
With the Show Warning Dialog option selected, a warning dialog will be displayed when this
timeout is reached. Otherwise, the warning is written to the connection log only.
TIP: HP recommends increasing the timeout value for networks that experience frequent
busy periods or momentary outages.
Recovery Timeout Species the amount of time in seconds after receiving the last network traic from the

action. At the end of this period, the RDP client attempts a quick reconnection with the
session.
Error Timeout Species the amount of time in seconds after receiving the last network traic from the
server that the RDP client waits before stopping attempts to reconnect with that server.
