connection timeouts
The Ethernet link times out after a designated period of time of no communications. By
default, this timeout value is set to 5 minutes but the value can be changed (see
notE: Extron recommends leaving the default timeout at 5 minutes and periodically
issuing the Query (Q) command to keep the connection active. If there are long
idle periods, disconnect the socket and reopen the connection when another
command must be sent.
Verbose Mode
Telnet connections can be used to monitor for changes that occur, such as SIS
commands from other Telnet sockets or a serial port. For a Telnet session to receive
change notices, the Telnet session must be in verbose mode 1 or 3 (see the
SIS command on page 136). In verbose mode 1 or 3, the Telnet socket reports
changes in messages that resemble SIS command responses.
