Datasocket Timeout

[ShotSimon]

I'm trying to use a Datasocket with a timeout of 40sec to access a device via an IP address.  I am interfacing to a wireless device that may take up to 30 seconds to reset.

Unfortunately an error 1184 will occur prior to the Timeout and cut my time to around 20 seconds?  I have figured out away to get around this, i.e., clear the error and or warnings and retry.

Is this normal operation for the Datasocket?  I mean shouldn't a Timeout work so that all options are exhausted until the Timeout and then return an error code?

Regards,

-SS

I have never used such big timeout. Try to set Timeout to 5 seconds and reconnect up to 8 times... Advantage - you can cancel connect procedure, otherwise your software will not respond half minute... regards, Andrey.
