Product: EPSON RC+ Ethernet I/O
Subject: Error 707 occurs on system with Ethernet I/O

Symptoms
After communicating with Ethernet I/O, your application does not communicate again for over 4 minutes.  On the next Ethernet I/O command, error 707 occurs.

Causes
This can be caused by a TCP Idle Session Timeout setting in the Ethernet I/O brain module. 
The following program tests for this condition:

Function Main
  EnetIO_On 0
  Wait 300  ' wait 5 minutes
  EnetIO_Off 0
Fend

Error 707 will occur if your brain module has the session idle timeout parameter and the value is for under 5 minutes.  Older brain modules will not generate this error, because they did not support this parameter.

Remedy
Method 1
Download the ioManager utility from the opto22 website.  Follow the instructions in the brain module manual and set the TCP Idle Session Timeout value.  Set it to zero to disable the timeout, or set it to a higher value as desired.  The default setting is 240,000 ms (4 minutes).
Method 2
Ensure that your application communicates with the brain before the timeout can occur.
