PCI Mode Client Configuration Items

Currently, there is only one modifiable configuration item for PCI mode.

NOTE   Thales recommends leaving configuration items at the their default value or setting them to a valid value specified in the following table. If the value of a configuration item must be changed and no valid values are given, contact Thales Customer Support for assistance.

Configuration Item Meaning
ET_HSM_PCICLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT_SECS

Determines the time in seconds the PCI driver will wait before timing out on a read operation. It should be set long enough to avoid an unintentional timeout, which causes the driver to shut down the HSM.

The default timeout should be long enough for general use. The value should only be modified if the client-side application is expected to wait for a longer duration, as in the case of key entry on a PIN pad.

Default=600
