Pitney Bowes MapInfo Professional - Manual (Page 105)

Note: When you set the time out values locally, you may want to keep in mind the size of your
request. The more complicated your request, the more time may be required for
connection/sending/receiving.
• 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 to 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.
• Mark Multiple Match when Automatic Geocoding - Select this option to display a result code
of M when you are performing automatic geocoding and there are multiple matches for an address.
If you do not select this option, and there are close matches, the system displays an S for street
only. See Understanding the Geocoding Result Codes in the Help System.
• Symbol Style - Use this setting to set the default symbol style for the points you are creating for
geocoding. You can override it during a geocoding operation using Symbol Style in the Common
Options tab.
• Servers - Click Servers to display the Geocoding Servers List, where you can add, edit, and
delete MapMarker and Envinsa geocoding servers. This list is the same as you would see when
you select the Servers button in the Geocode Using Servers and the Find Address dialog box.
