HeartbeatInterval integer |
-heartbeatinterval integer |
Use this property to specify the length of time in seconds that the TSM waits between sending successive heartbeats. The default is 0. |
HeartbeatResponse string |
-heartbeatresponse string |
Use this property to specify the response the TSM expects to receive from the device. This property is a regular expression, with a maximum of 4096 characters. The default is "". |
HeartbeatString string |
-heartbeatstring string |
Use this property to specify the command that prompts the switch to give a known response. The default is "". |
HeartbeatTimeout integer |
-heartbeattimeout integer |
Use this property to specify the length of time in seconds in which the TSM expects to receive a response from the device. The default is 0.(No time out) |
Host string |
-host string |
Use this property to specify the name of the host to which the TSM connects. The default is "localhost". |
InactivityAlarm integer |
-inactivityretry integer |
Use this property to specify the number of consecutive inactivity alarms the TSM allows before attempting to reconnect to the host. The default is 0 (feature is disabled). |
InactivityRetry integer |
-heartbeatinterval integer |
Use this property to specify the length of time in seconds that the TSM waits between sending successive heartbeats. The default is 0. |

-pidfile string |
Use this property to specify the name of the file that stores the process ID for the device. The default is "". |
Port integer |
-port integer |
Use this property to specify the port to which the TSM connects. The default is 23. |
ReadTimeout integer |
-readtimeout integer |
Use this property to specify the length of time in milliseconds that the TSM allows the socket to be silent. If this time is exceeded, it assumes that the connection is dead and disconnects. The default is 100. |

-resynchcommand string |
Use this property to specify the command that the TSM sends to initiate resynchronization. The default is "". |
ResynchInterval integer |
-resynchinterval integer |
Use this property to specify the length of time in seconds between successive resynchronization attempts. The default is 0. |
SelfTest string |
-selftest string |
Use this property to specify the file the TSM
uses to test itself. This can be used to test a rules file against
an input stream captured from the switch by specifying the output
