Title: Increase parameter timeout from 3 minutes to 5 minutes
Post by: alager on November 05, 2010, 11:21:29 PM

I'm trying to increase the timeout for network parameter validation from 3 minutes to 5 minutes, but I just can't seem to find how this is set.  Can someone point me in the right direction?
I'm using version 1.3

Thanks,
Aaron

Hi Aaron

This is in application.c as follows:

    if (!iAppState) {
        parameters = uMalloc(sizeof(PARS));                              // get RAM for a local copy of device parameters
        temp_pars  = uMalloc(sizeof(TEMPPARS));                          // get space for a backup of all modifiable parameters
        if (fnGetOurParameters(0) == TEMPORARY_PARAM_SET) {
            uTaskerMonoTimer( OWN_TASK, (DELAY_LIMIT)(2*60*SEC), E_TIMER_VALIDATE );// we have test parameters and wait for them to be validated else reset
            iAppState = STATE_VALIDATING;
        }

It is in fact 2 minutes - no need to explain how to increase to 5 minutes....;-)

Regards

Mark

Thanks Mark!  I'd would like to point out that the included web pages and the documentation in the forums (various explanations of how things work) all say 3 minutes.

BTW, the reason for increasing this is for the scenario when the user is changing from one network address to a different network, eg. from a 10.10.1.x network to a 192.168.1.x network.  This requires the user to reconfigure their computer, and on vista and win7, they have a tough time getting it done in time before the card reverts to the previous network settings.
