# handshake_timeout

    handshake_timeout = seconds

The amount of time that the EMS server waits for a connection to complete depends on the `server_timeout_server_connection` and `server_timeout_client_connection` properties.

If either is specified, the connection handshake times out only after the duration mentioned in one of these properties. If both are specified, the largest of the two values is used. If neither is specified, you can set the period (in seconds) using `handshake_timeout`. The period specified must be a positive integer. If absent, the timeout defaults to 3 seconds. When the timeout is reached, the EMS server closes the connection and continues handling other clients.
