Getting Started with NerveCenter Client - Specifying Heartbeat Messaging -
The NerveCenter Client sends a message called a heartbeat to each connected NerveCenter Server on a standard interval. This messaging ensures the reliability of communications between the server and client. If a server fails to respond after three consecutive heartbeat messages from the client, a message box is displayed on the client console to alert the operator of the server's heartbeat failure. (In such cases, you should check with your network administrator to obtain the status of that particular NerveCenter Server.)
You can set the interval at which the NerveCenter Client sends a heartbeat to the NerveCenter Server. (By default, this interval is 30 seconds.) You can also choose to deactivate heartbeat messaging.
