How to increase a timeout for NVEthernetProtocol
When the NV9000 is using nvethernet (np0016 over TCP/IP) to control a router, it is polling the router every 300 ms and it expects a response from the router within 500 ms. If the NV9000 doesn’t receive the response within 500 ms, SEUtilities will show the router as being offline.
1. In SEUtilities, select Views | Tables | Control Points (click HERE).
2. By default, you should see a Parameter entry similar to: E,10.0.9.39,T500, where 500 represents the timeout in milliseconds and 10.0.9.39 is the IP address of the router to control.
3. Edit the value and click Save.
4. Go to System management, select the root node, and then click Write configuration to.
5. Click Restart controller to apply your changes.
 

NOTE: The NV9000 does not accept timeout values smaller than 500 ms.
