[App_rpt-users] Remote timeout message

Trying to find out which variable to change...have two nodes on a 
server, one repeater full-duplex, the other a remote base half-duplex 
(RF link).

When I connect them together after a short period of being active I hear 
"remote timeout" and the system drops. I am then able to kerchunk and 
everything starts working again. If the remote is connected and idle, 
there is no timeout. A guess is probably 20-30 minutes before it happens.

Here is what I have defined:
[repeater]
;lnkactenable=0                ; Set to 1 to enable the link activity 
timer. Applicable to standard nodes only.
;lnkacttime=1800            ; Link activity timer time in seconds.
;lnkactmacro=*52            ; Function to execute when link activity 
timer expires.
;lnkacttimerwarn=30seconds        ; Message to play when the link 
activity timer has 30 seconds left.
;remote_inact_timeout=1800        ; Inactivity timer for remote base 
nodes only (set to 0 to disable).
;remote_timeout=3600            ; Session time out for remote base. (set 
to 0 to disable)

[remote]
remote_inact_timeout=0            ; Inactivity timer for remote base 
nodes only (set to 0 to disable).
remote_timeout=0            ; Session time out for remote base. (set to 
0 to disable)
--other settings like above removed--


Am I reading the docs wrong where the remote has its timeouts set to 
zero, should I include all options above and set to zero also? For these 
activity timers, is the local or remote end that applies?

Sorry I don't have more info or can readily try changes, my DSL isn't 
installed at the site yet, so its standalone for a while. I'll be 
stopping by to make a few changes and want to get this right.

Thanks,
Tony
