with remote systems. You configure the options that effect connection time outs,
encryption of control packets, and auto-discovery of resources.

To configure remote communications, select

Description

Encrypt RSP Packets check box

Select encryption if there is a need for security in the network
when transferring packets between the remote resource and
the local system.
The default setting is Not Selected.

No Autodiscovery check box

Select this box to prevent auto-discovery of remote resources.
If selected, you will only be able to access remote resources by
manual discovery of resources using the Connect option from
the Host menu. This box can be selected when working with
only local resources to eliminate viewing all resources in the
Resource Browser. The auto-discovery of resources may take
some time, especially in a large network.
The default setting is Not Selected

RSP Time Out value

Specifies, in seconds, how long the protocol waits before drop-
ping a connection when the remote resource is not responding.
The value must be between 1 and 30 seconds.
The default setting is 10 seconds.
