       /TIMEOUT
       /NOTIMEOUT

    Optional. Default: /NOTIMEOUT

    o  /TIMEOUT

       Creates a TNA device which has the following connection
       attributes:

       o  NOIDLE-The connection is broken when the device is finally
          deassigned. The device will automatically reconnect when
          data is written to it.

       o  IDLE-Specifies the idle time for the device. If the device
          is idle for at least the specified amount of time (note
          that the time has a granularity of one second), then the
          connection will be broken. Idle means that the device has
          neither received nor set any data for the idle period.

       o  NORECONNECTION-The device does not automatically retry
          reconnections if they fail.

       o  RECONNECTION-When data is written to the device and it is
          not connected, this value determines the interval between
          reconnection attempts. For example, if an application
          writes to a TNA with a RECONNECTION-0:1:00, then if the
          first connection attempt fails, subsequent connection
          attempts will be made in one-minute intervals.

    o  /NOTIMEOUT

       Creates a TNA device which breaks the connection when the
       device is finally deassigned (the last channel assignment is
       deassigned).
