Use the attributes on the Channel Protocol Engine tab to tune SGD channel processes. The SGD channel is used to detect information about the client. For example, to detect client drives or audio devices.
From the command line, use the Section D.16, “tarantella config list” command to list these settings, and the Section D.15, “tarantella config edit” command to edit these settings.
Changes to these attributes take effect for new Protocol Engines only. Existing Protocol Engines are not affected.
Usage: Choose a compression setting option.
Whether a Channel Protocol Engine uses data compression on a client connection.
Select On Slow Connection to enable the Channel Protocol Engine to compress data if the connection is slow.
Command option:
--chpe-compression auto | always |
never
Usage: Specify a valid compression setting.
The following example enables data compression for slow client connections only.
--chpe-compression auto
Usage: Type a compression threshold value, measured in bytes, in the field.
The smallest size of network packet that a Channel Protocol Engine can compress.
Command option:
--chpe-compressionthreshold
bytes
Usage: Replace
bytes
with a compression threshold
setting, in bytes.
In the following example, a minimum packet size of 256 bytes is specified. Network packets smaller than this value are not compressed.
--chpe-compressionthreshold 256
Usage: Type a number in the field.
The length of time, in seconds, a Channel Protocol Engine process continues to run without any active connections.
Command option:
--chpe-exitafter
secs
Usage: Replace
secs
with the time period, measured
in seconds.
In the following example, the Protocol Engine exits after 60 seconds if there are no active connections.
--chpe-exitafter 60
