The KEEPALIVE_TYPE parameter specifies the method used to free connections. Valid values are:
TN_NONE
Do not use either the TN_NOP nor the TN_TIMING_MARK methods to free connections.
TN_NOP
Use if it is not necessary to free connections after a specific amount of time. Detection and freeing of the connection take an unpredictable amount of time. When the time specified on the FREQUENCY parameter is reached, the connection is tested to see if it is broken.
TN_TIMING_MARK
Use if it is necessary to define when connections are freed and additional traffic on the network is acceptable. Detection and freeing of the connection take place as specified by the TIMER parameter. When the specified time is reached and the client has not responded, the connection is freed.

This parameter is required. The default is TN_NONE.
