To reset these entries for the current server, select the Override Default Values check box and
enter new timeout values using these definitions:
• Connect Timeout - Use this setting to indicate the amount of time to establish an Internet connection
to the service. If the request takes longer than this value, a timeout occurs. The default connect
time out is 60 seconds.
• Send Timeout - Use this setting to indicate the amount of time to send an Internet request to the
service. If the request takes longer than this value, a timeout occurs. The default send time out is
60 seconds.
• Receive Timeout - Use this setting to indicate the amount of time begin to receive a response
from a request to the service. The download can take longer than the time out, but the response
has to occur within the timeout setting. The default receive time out is 300 seconds.
