4.4.2 Network Timeouts
Whenever browsing file servers or disc recorders with
the ‘Open Sequence‘ dialog in ALICE, or the ‘Browse”
dialog in the ALGUI, waiting for inactive servers can be
annoying. Therefore timeouts can be adjusted in the
network tab  photo of the preferences panel of
ALICE.
When accessing a DVS disc recorder, the check if the
recorder is reachable is done by sending a ping request
to its host. A value of 0 disables checking, connections
to unreachable disc recorders will then timeout by the
DVS defaults.
The timeout is ignored whenever loading images from
the disc recorder, both by ALICE and CLIF. Therefore, it
does not affect recording.
4.4.3 Partition Change Policy
On DVS disc recorders, frames of different sizes are stored
in different partitions. Only one partition can be active
at a time, and only frames on active partitions can be
accessed.
Since changing the active partition will prevent all other
applications and real time operations to be stopped, the
ARRILASER software can be allowed or forbidden to
automatically switch to the partition it needs.
If the environment variable AL_DR_PARTITION_CHANGE
is set to 1, both CLIF and ALICE will switch partitions
without notice. If unset or set to 0, CLIF will never
change partitions, while ALICE will ask the user. The
environment variable can be set in
‘c:\cshell\login.csh‘.
