7.5.1 Configuring Keepalive
In AceManager, the Keepalive settings are part of the OTHER group.

connection. To disable Keepalive, set *IPPING to 0 (default setting).
Note: The minimum time which can be set for Keepalive is fifteen minutes. If you set *IPPING for a
value less than the minimum, the minimum value will be set.
 *IPPINGADDR sets the IP address you want to use for the connection test.
Caution: If *IPPINGADDR is left blank or is set to an invalid IP address (example, an IP which is
