Connection Settings

The connection period determins how often the Name Service View gathers information and refreshes its displays. The unit is milliseconds. If zero is specified, synchronisation is disabled. The default port number determines the default port used in the Connect Name Server dialog when adding a name server to the name service view without explicitly specifying a port.

Synchronisation settings

The timeout value determines how long to wait when attempting to connect during synchronisation. The units are milliseconds.

The effects of the connection period and timeout value are illustrated below. In this example, the period is 1000ms and the timeout is 100ms.
