• The value scope is 0...4294967295.

• The default value is 60000.

Enter a value for the period after which a previously received selection is timed out. Confirm that an executed command is received before the time-out in order to be valid.

• The value scope is 0...4294967295.

• The default value is 5000.

Select the check box for ACT TERM to be transmitted upon completion of the set point commands:

• The check box is selected by default.

Select the check box for ACT TERM to be transmitted upon completion of commands, other than the set point commands.

Enter a value for the period for which the system clock remains valid after a clock synchronization. If this period expires without a clock synchronization, all times are reported invalid.

• The value scope is 0...4294967295.

• The default value is 86400000.

Select the check box to send spontaneous clock synchronization events to the client.

Enter a value for the maximum time delta at which commands are accepted. The command time tag is checked and if the elapsed time is greater than MAX Command Age (ms), the command gets no response.

• The value 0 indicates that the command time tag is not checked.
