8.35 CONKPALV (Display / alter console TCP/IP keep-alive settings)
8.35.1 Function
The CONKPALV command specifies the tn3270 and telnet client keep-alive option values that control
automatic detection of disconnected tn3270 / telnet client sessions.
The arguments idle, intv and count are the new values for the TCP/IP keep-alive settings: Send probe,
when the connection goes idle for 'idle' seconds, wait a maximum of 'intv' seconds to the response for the
probe and disconnect after 'count' consecutive failed probes.
The CONKPALV command without any operand displays the current values. The format of the CONK-
PALV command must be exactly as shown, with each value separated from the next by a single comma,
no intervening spaces and surrounded by parenthesis.
Some older platforms may ignore all of the values specified and may use platform specific values instead.

8.35.3 Parameter
idle
The idle value specifies the number of seconds of inactivity until the first keep-alive
probe is sent. The default for the idle value is 3 seconds.
intv
The intv value specifies the interval in seconds between the probes if no acknow-
ledgement is received from the previous probe. The default for intv is 1 second.
count
The count value specifies the number of unacknowledged keep-alive packets sent
before the connection is considered to have failed. The default value is 10.
Note: On Windows platforms the count value is ignored and cannot be changed
from its default value of 10.
