Warning Timeout Species the amount of time in seconds after receiving the last network trac 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 Species the amount of time in seconds after receiving the last network trac from the
server that the RDP client waits for the connection to recover without taking any special
action. At the end of this period, the RDP client attempts a quick reconnection with the
session.
Error Timeout Species the amount of time in seconds after receiving the last network trac from the
server that the RDP client waits before stopping attempts to reconnect with that server.
