indicates that TAM supports establishing multiple sessions in one TCP connection when

communicating with the device. Not Supported indicates that TAM supports establishing only

one session in one TCP connection when communicating with the device. The configuration of

single connections, you can enable or disable this feature on the device. If you enable this

value of the column can only be Supported or Not Supported. Select Not Import from File to

manually select the options. Select Supported or Not Supported from the list.

online status and duration of an online device user because it does not receive Watchdog

packets sent by the device. If the device does not support sending Watchdog packets, or the

device supports Watchdog but sending Watchdog packets is disabled, use Not Supported. If

the device supports sending Watchdog packets, and sending Watchdog packets is enabled,

use Supported. Select the column in the file that contains the Watchdog option. The value of
