New Packet Receive Buffer Wait
Time = time
Specify how long the operating system waits after receiving a
request for a packet receive buffer before granting a new buffer.
Supported values: 0.1 second to 20 seconds
Default: 0.1 second
This parameter prevents the system from granting too many
buffers during a sudden peak in usage.
If you have an EISA bus master board in your server, don’t
change this parameter.
Console Display Watchdog Logouts =

Specify whether a console message is displayed when a
connection is cleared.
Supported values: ON, OFF
