NETWORK_DELAY - UEM Manager configuration option

Description

The NETWORK_DELAY option specifies the maximum acceptable delay in transmitting data between the UEM Manager and UEM Server over the network. If data transmission takes longer than the specified delay, the operation ends with a time-out error.

In this way, NETWORK_DELAY provides the ability to fine-tune Universal Event Monitor's network protocol.

When a data packet is sent over a TCP/IP network, the time it takes to reach the other end depends on many factors, such as network congestion and bandwidth. If the packet is lost before reaching the other end, the other end may wait indefinitely for the expected data. In order to prevent this situation, NETWORK_DELAY can be used to tell UEM how long to wait before setting a network time-out condition.

Note

An understanding of the TCP/IP protocol and the network configuration between the UEM Manager and UEM Server is required to determine the appropriate delay value.
