Trickle frequency

 

Trickle data 

This option allows you reset the connection between NetPBX and remote host, in case of inactivity. When the system becomes inactive, NetPBX sends a string of data back to the remote host in order to test the connection. Sending the trickle back data will emit a detectable error in case a disconnection has occurred and, thus, will cause the connection to reset.

The

Referencemacro
LabelTrickle frequency
option allows you to configure the amount of inactivity that must occur (in miliseconds) before a trickle back is performed.

Trickle dataA string containing the data to be sent back
