This read-write integer, in seconds within 10 to 840, sets how long an ESCON station waits for a response to an attention signal it sent to the host before initiating a channel disconnect. Admins tune this to control how tolerant the station is of a slow-responding host, with changes taking effect on the next connection. For example, raising this value on a station connected to a heavily loaded host would prevent premature disconnects during temporary host response delays.
