How to increase a timeout for NVEthernetProtocol
When the NV9000 is using nvethernet (np0016 over TCP/IP) to control a router, it is polling the
router every 300 ms and it expects a response from the router within 500 ms. If the NV9000
doesn’t receive the response within 500 ms, SEUtilities will show the router as being offline.
To set the timeout value to a larger custom value
1. In SEUtilities, select Views | Tables | Control Points (see page 46 ).
2. By default, you should see a Parameter entry similar to: E,10.0.9.39,T500 , where 500
represents the timeout in milliseconds and 10.0.9.39 is the IP address of the router to
control.
3. Edit the value and click Save.
4. Go to System management, select the root node, and then click Write configuration to.
5. Click Restart controller to apply your changes.
