# Client Timeout Server Connection

In a server-to-client connection, if a client does not receive a heartbeat for a period exceeding this limit (in seconds), it closes the connection.

We recommend setting this value to approximately 3.5 times the heartbeat interval.

Zero is a special value, which disables heartbeat detection in the client (although the server still sends heartbeats).

## Classic Configuration

The limit is set using the client_timeout_server_connection property in the tibemsd.conf file:

    client_timeout_server_connection = limit

## Administration

This property cannot be set using the administration tool.
