Specifies the idle time before the keep-alive network probing is initiated. Depends on the KA_ENABLE option being enabled.

Value: Time in seconds.

Default: 5 seconds

Parallels Client for Linux network settings can be specified using the configuration file, which can be found at the following location:

~/.config/2X/Client/parallelssettings

The settings are user specific. If a Linux machine is used by multiple users, each user needs to modify his/her own file.

This section describes parameters that can be used in the parallelssettings configuration file.

Specifies the number of keep-alive probes to send before closing the connection. Depends on the KA_ENABLE option being enabled.

Value: An integer greater than 0.

Default: 3

Example:

Set the number of probes to 6:

KA_COUNT=6

Specifies the time period during which the transmitted data may remain unacknowledged before the connection is closed. This option is only supported on Linux kernel v2.6.37 and later.

Value: Time in milliseconds

Default: 9000 milliseconds (9 seconds)

Example:

Set the time period to 10 seconds.

USER_TIMEOUT=10000

Specifies the idle time between sending keep-alive network probes. Depends on the KA_ENABLE option being enabled.

Value: Time in seconds.

Default: 2 seconds

Example:

Set the idle time to 4 seconds:

KA_INTERVAL=4
