This 1-character configuration setting is used to identify the type of device used by the merchant for accepting mobile Point of Sale (mPOS) transactions. Valid values are:

By default the component automatically selects the correct ACI for the type of transaction being attempted. This configuration setting is for advanced users, and it is not recommended it be changed. That being said, this 1-character field contains the Requested ACI used to identify an authorization request as potentially qualifying for CPS (Custom Payment Services) and MasterCard Merit programs. If a merchant chooses not to participate in CPS, the ACI may be set to "N". The following table provides a summary of the codes currently supported by both Visa and MasterCard. Please note that not all of these ACI values are supported in Direct Marketing and Retail transactions.

This is an action config which when called will authenticate a POS device with TSYS. Authentication is required when processing transactions using Voltage Encryption or Tokenization. An AuthenticationCode is required to be specified, as is Zip and/or ServicePhone, to perform authentication. After a POS device is successfully authenticated, GenKey will be populated.

When this setting is True, if the credit card being authorized does not contain sufficient funds to cover the TransactionAmount, the card will not be declined. Instead, the transaction will be authorized for a lesser amount. The customer must then use another form of payment to make up the remainder. The total amount authorized by TSYS will be returned in the ResponseAuthorizedAmount configuration setting. For instance, if the TransactionAmount is $100.00, but the card only has a $50.00 balance, the card is charged for $50.00, and the ResponseAuthorizedAmount will be "50.00". The merchant may then collect the remaining $50 in cash, check, credit card, or any other acceptable form of payment. This setting is False by default.

This configuration setting indicates the number of recurring or installment payments that were agreed upon between the cardholder and the merchant. This field is used in both the initial and subsequent payment transactions. The current usage of this field is for Discover cards only. Valid values are:

This configuration setting is used to identify the sequence number of a transaction when there are multiple installment payments. This field is used in both the initial and subsequent payment transactions. The rcfgInstallmentNumber; should be populated in ascending order. The current usage of this field is for Discover cards only.

To settle a transaction authorized with the ttInstallment TransactionType, you must specify the number of this installment and the total count of all installments to be made using TSYSECommerce component. For instance, if the purchase was for "Three easy payments of $19.95", and this is the first payment, then the installment number will be 1, and the installment count 3. An example is included below:

 
 Copy
  TSYSECommerce.TransactionType = ttInstallment
  TSYSECommerce.TransactionAmount = "1995"
  TSYSECommerce.Config("InstallmentCount=3")
  TSYSECommerce.Config("InstallmentNumber=1")
  TSYSECommerce.Authorize()

  TSYSSettle.DetailAggregate[5] = TSYSECommerce.GetDetailAggregate()

Interleaved Mode is intended for high volume transaction environments. When using this communication mode, transaction data is transmitted and received simultaneously without blocking. The advantage of an Interleaved Session is that the connection can stay up and is stateless once connected. Up to 10 simultaneous requests can be sent at a time. By default the value for this configuration setting is False. For instance:

 
 Copy
        //Interleaved Transaction Mode 
        TSYSECommerce1.Config("InterleavedMode=True");

        //Maximum number of pending response packets.
        TSYSECommerce1.Config("MaxPendingResponseCount=10");

        TSYSECommerce1.OnResponse += (sender, args) =>
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Response received for {0}, {1}, {2}, {3}", args.TransactionId, args.ResponseCode, args.ResponseText, args.ResponseApprovalCode);
        };

        TSYSECommerce1.Authorize();

        //Explicitly Disconnect
        TSYSECommerce1.Config("DisconnectInterleaved");

When InterleavedMode is set to True the component will return immediately when Authorize is called. This setting specifies the timeout (in seconds) for which the component will wait for a response. If no response is received within InterleavedTimeout seconds the Error event will fire and the connection will be closed.

The default value is 60 (seconds).

This field, when set to 'True', indicates that the transaction is a Bill Payment transaction and will be processed as such. When set to 'False' (default value) the transaction will be processed normally.

Set this to True when the amount sent in the initial transaction is an estimate. Default value is 'False'.

To process a Merchant Initiated Transaction you need to set this IsMerchantInitiatedTransaction flag to True. Default value is False.

This 3-character value provides information about transactions initiated through the Masterpass Online platform or through the Mastercard Digital Enablement Service (MDES) and identifies the Wallet Provider. For MDES, Mastercard inserts the Wallet Identifier that is in the system, when available. For Masterpass, Mastercard passes the Wallet Identifier as sent in from the Point of Sale.

The following values apply to both Masterpass and MDES transactions:

The following values only apply to MDES transactions:

This is the maximum number of outstanding transactions that have not yet received a response. This should not exceed the maximum number of 10 interleaved transactions that can be sent at the same time. If an authorization is attempted that would exceed the maximum number of pending response an error occurs.

The default value is 10.

This field contains a two digit language indicator. This value designates the language to be used in formatting the authorization response text message.

This field is used for American Express transactions that are submitted via an Aggregator/Payment Service Provider. It contains a maximum 20-byte numeric code that uniquely identifies an American Express Payment Service Provider's (Aggregator's) seller or vendor code.

It should be set with the TransactionId from the original (first) authorization. This configuration setting is required when sending MIT Recurring, MIT Installment, MIT Standing Instruction or MIT Industry Practice transactions. To send an MIT Standing Instruction you need to set the POSEnvironmentIndicator to specify the type of merchant initiated transaction. To send an MIT Industry Practice you need to set the MessageReasonCode to specify the reason for this merchant initiated transaction.

Note: For Merchant Initiated Transactions you need to set the POSDataCode.CardInputMode to '7'.

The Merchant Payment Gateway Identifier (MPGID) is a unique value that is generated and provisioned by Mastercard. Payment gateways must register directly with Mastercard to obtain a unique value, and include it on the incoming authorization message. Maximum length for this field is 11 digits.

This configuration setting is required for Discover Merchant Initiated Transactions (MIT) with TransactionStatus: (P) Partial Shipment, (R) Recurring Payment, or (A) Re-authorize for Full Amount. It should be used in conjunction with OriginalAmountAccountType. The component will send the OriginalAmount on group G3v022 with amount type 57 (Original Amount).

Note: When supporting MIT transactions for Discover cards, you must keep track of the Original Amount from the initial CIT transaction.

This 2-character value configuration setting indicates the account type such as "30" for Credit Card, "40" for Universal etc. (see TSYS Specs G3v022 for complete list). It should be used in conjunction with OriginalAmount.

This unique digit internal identification code is assigned by the Acquirer to it's merchant. Discover assigns this 20-character field during registration via the Discover Network.

This 3-character field is used by marketplaces to uniquely identify domestic transactions in which the retailer is in a different country than the marketplace. Visa classifies an entity as a marketplace if it handles payments on behalf of retailers through an online marketplace that brings together multiple buyers and retailers. This field must be sent when the retailer is foreign.

Valid values are:

This 11-digit value is assigned to the Service Provider during registration with the card brand and must be included on all Visa, MasterCard, or Discover transactions where the merchant has a relationship with a Payment Facilitator/Service Provider.

Note: For Visa Marketplaces, the Marketplace ID must be included in this field.

This 25-character field is a subfield of Payment Facilitator and must be included on all transactions where the merchant has a relationship with a Payment Facilitator. It has two usages:

Usage 1 - Payment Facilitator Name*Sub-Merchant Name

This usage is valid for Visa, Mastercard, and Discover.

For Payment Facilitators, the field contains two parts in a concatenation of two fields separated by an asterisk (*). For Visa, Mastercard, and Discover the name submitted should match what the PayFac registered with each brand and should follow the requirements defined by each brand.

Usage 2 - Marketplace Name

For Visa Marketplaces, the field should contain the name of the Marketplace.

This 13-character field is a subfield of Payment Facilitator.

For Visa and Mastercard transactions, enter the city of the sub-merchant location (not the Payment Facilitator location).

For Discover transactions, enter the location where the transaction took place; this may or may not be the sub-merchant location.

For Direct Marketing merchants and preferred customer/passenger transport and card not present transactions, this field must contain a phone number for merchant customer service in format XXX-XXXXXXX. The dash is required. This field can also be used for e-mail or a URL.

This 3-digit field indicates the country of the Sub-Merchant location (not the Payment Facilitator location) using ISO-specified numeric codes. It is used for Visa, Mastercard, and Discover transactions and must be included on all transactions where the merchant has a relationship with a Payment Facilitator.

This is port that this component connects to on the server. The default value for TSYS is 5003 for the live server, and 5004 for the test server. The default live server values for Heartland is 22341 for Authorization and 22342 for Settlement. The Heartland test server values are 12341 for Authorization and 12342 for Settlement.

This configuration setting takes a semi-colon separated list of name-value pairs. The available field names and their applicable values can be found below. The fields can be set in any order and not all fields are required to be set (unless you wish to change their default values).

Code Example:

 
 Copy
TSYSRetail.Config("POSDataCode=CardholderAuthCap=1;CardInputMode=2;CardInputCap=2");

CardInputCap (Terminal card data input capability)

CardholderAuthCap (Terminal cardholder authentication capability)

CardCaptureCap (Terminal card-capture capability)

TerminalOpEnv (Terminal operating environment)

CardholderPresent (Cardholder present data)

CardPresent (Card present data)

CardInputMode (Card data input mode)

NOTE: AMEX defines ApplePay with value C - Online Chip

CardholderAuthMethod (Cardholder authentication method)

CardholderAuthEntity (Cardholder authentication entity)

CardOutputCap (Card data output capability)

TerminalOutputCap (Terminal data output capability)

PINCaptureCap (PIN capture capability)

Note: Setting this configuration setting in TSYSDetailRecord component will not update the POSDataCode tag in the detail aggregate of the original transaction.

This Visa only configuration setting is used to provide additional information about the transaction. This value should be set in the following scenarios with the respective values:

If the merchant initiates a transaction using a stored payment credential, the value in POSDataCode.CardInputMode should be '7' for Credential on File transactions.

This field allows you to specify the processor that you are connecting to (thus allowing the component to correctly generate the request and parse the response). The available values are:

Note that when set, this property will set the Server and Port to the default values for the specified processor. Additionally, this config must be set prior to setting Card to ensure the card data is formatted correctly.

The Program Protocol must be provided by the merchant if they are using the Mastercard Identity Check program to authenticate the cardholder. This value identifies the version of the EMV 3D-Secure protocol and it is the merchant's responsibility to know which version applies. Allowable values are:

To achieve the best interchange rate for Direct Marketing (e-commerce and MOTO) transactions, you may be required to send 25-character purchase identifier in the settlement. Normally this would require the use of the TSYSDetailRecord component to add the purchase Id to the detail aggregate before adding that aggregate to the batch. However, setting the PurchaseIdentifier configuration setting will include the identifier when calling the GetDetailAggregate method, so that the intermediary steps using the TSYSDetailRecord component are unnecessary.

For instance, instead of this:

 
 Copy
  TSYSECommerce.Authorize()
  DetailRecord.ParseAggregate(TSYSECommerce.GetDetailAggregate())
  DetailRecord.PurchaseIdentifier = "123456"
  TSYSSettle.DetailAggreate[0] = DetailRecord.GetDetailAggregate()

 
 Copy
  TSYSECommerce.Config("PurchaseIdentifier=123456")
  TSYSECommerce.Authorize()
  TSYSSettle.DetailAggregate[0] = TSYSECommerce.GetDetailAggregate()

This configuration setting is used to specify the date when the cardholder last voluntarily changed his or her registered profile (Discover, Diners, JCB, and CUP transactions only). The format for this field is DDMMYYYY.

When set to 'True' prior to an Authorize request, a token will be requested for the specified Card data. Provided the authorization and token generation was successful, a token will be returned in the response and can be retrieved via Token. Additionally the status of the token will be returned via ResponseTokenStatus. The returned token can then be used to process future transactions without the use of Card data with the exception of the expiration details. The default value is 'False'.

NOTE: When using this request, verification and authorization of the card will be performed.

This response data is returned when SendExtendedAVS is set to 'True' and is only available for American Express and Discover cards. This data is arranged in order of 5 bytes, one for each result of a cardholder identification data element:

The possible values for each byte are:

For Discover transactions, byte 3 will be populated with the following values:

This CAVV Result code indicates whether the authentication value submitted in the CAVV field can be validated by either Visa or the card issuer. The table below shows the possible values returned from Vital/TSYS.

Possible returned values are:

The value of this field is used to correctly match responses with transactions by comparing its value to that of the StoreNumber. This is particularly useful when making a multi-merchant or multi-store routing system. If the system that originally made the transaction receives a response where the ResponseStoreNumber is not identical to the StoreNumber the transaction should not be stored for batch settlement. This field is read-only.

The value of this field is used to correctly match responses with transactions by comparing its value to that of TerminalNumber. This is particularly useful when making a multi-terminal routing system within a merchant location. If the terminal that originally made the transaction receives a response where the ResponseTerminalNumber is not identical to the TerminalNumber, the transaction should not be stored for batch settlement. This field is read-only.

This read only configuration setting if returned in the Response message contains 4 characters that represent the last 4 digits of the actual cardholder PAN. This can be used to print on the paper receipt for cardholder reference.

This field will be populated after a token is requested via RetrieveToken or RequestToken. The applicable values are:

This read-only configuration setting contains a 2-character value when returned in the response of MasterCard Credit transactions. This value encompasses the fundamental safety and security of credit transactions, including the assessment of both the validity of the card and the cardholder.

This UCAF Result code indicates the security level and cardholder authentication associated with the transaction. Mastercard's processing rules allow merchants to gain a liability shift and interchange benefit if they submit their electronic commerce transactions for cardholder authentication. If the cardholder authentication detail is not present in UCAFData field for MasterCard SecureCode transactions, MasterCard will downgrade and send the transaction to the Issuer. This field is read-only and is only returned for MasterCard SecureCode E-Commerce transactions to indicate if the transaction was downgraded or not.

This is an action config which when called will send a token only request to the TSYS Host. Provided the request was successful, a token will be returned for the specified Card. The token can be retrieved via Token and the status of the token will be returned via ResponseTokenStatus. For this request, no card verification or authorization will be performed.

If an authorization returns ambiguously or times out without receiving a response, you may send the same transaction over again with this Retry flag set to True. This will prevent you from double-charging your customers in the case of a communications error (only available for credit card transactions. Does not apply to Debit, Gift Card, or EBT transactions).

If set to True (default), the CommercialCardType field will indicate whether the credit card submitted for authorization is a Business, Corporate, or Purchasing Card (this is the default function). If False, the contents of the CommercialCardType property must be ignored.

When set to 'True', AVS data will be sent in the extended AVS field for the transaction. ResponseCardholderVerification will contain the extended AVS verification results. When set to 'False' (default value), the CustomerAddress and CustomerZip values will be sent using the simple AVS data fields.

This is name of the server to which all transactions are posted. Do not use an IP address, use the actual name, as a server's IP address may change. The default (Live) TSYS server is "ssl2.vitalps.net", but you may use "ssltest.tsysacquiring.net" for testing. The default (Live) Heartland server is "txns.secureexchange.net", but you may use "test.txns.secureexchange.net" for testing. Note that there are several BankIds and Numbers that will always run in test mode regardless of whether you are using the live server. See the included demos for examples.

This field contains the name of the city where the cardholder received the services, if it is different from the location identified by the acceptor city name. This value will be sent as part of group G3v089 in authorization and group ODG41 (Tag: "SLD") in settlement.

The maximum length for this field is 13 characters.

This field contains the geographic coordinates of the location where the cardholder received services. Providing the geographic coordinates at the transaction level for merchants that change location (i.e. food truck) may help the cardholder recognize the transaction on their statement. This value will be sent as part of group G3v089 in authorization and group ODG41 (Tag: "SLD") in settlement.

This configuration setting is for informational purposes only and any surcharge amounts charged to the customer should be included in the TransactionAmount.

The format of this field is 'annnnnnnn' where 'a' is either 'D' for debit or 'C' for credit. 'nnnnnnnn' is the numeric fee amount with the decimal implied. For example: 'D00000150' is a $1.50 transaction fee amount debited to the cardholder's account.

Note: If an amount is only specified, the component will generate the format above by prepending a 'D' and the necessary number of 0's.

The Transaction Link Identifier (TLID) is used to track the life cycle of activity occurring after the original transaction and other related transactions. The TLID will be returned by Mastercard in the authorization response message. The returned value will also be present in the aggregate returned from the GetDetailAggregate method and for all subsequent transactions that utilize the aggregate (such as reversals, incrementals, settlement) the value will be automatically included in the request. When not utilizing the aggregate, you may explicitly set this config with the TLID value that was saved when the original transaction was performed.

This field will contain the token received from TSYS from either a RetrieveToken or RequestToken request. This field is also used to specify a token value, used in place of Card data, to be sent in an Authorize request. The token is formatted as a card number, with the last 4 digits preserved. Other characters in the number will be letters rather than numbers. Tokens are used as an added security measure to protect a customer's Card and may also help decrease PCI Compliance verification as storing credit card data is no longer needed.

This eleven digit value is used for Card Brand Tokenization only. If present, this configuration setting should be included in the authorization request. The component will send this value as part of group G3v062.

If Card Brand Token Requestor ID was present in the original transaction it must be included in a reversal message.

Note: The component will also send this value as part of DetailExtension Config of TSYSDetailRecord component (Group ODG41 - tag "TRI").

Use this 1-character configuration setting to indicate the purpose or status of the request.

The tables below provide the valid values for each card brand.

Valid value for Visa is:

Valid values for Mastercard are:

Valid values for Discover are:

Note: For Purchase Return Authorization Requests: Value must be 0 (Mastercard and Discover).

This field is used to specify the Base-64 encoded ETB (Encryption Transmission Block) used by TSYS to decrypt Voltage encrypted data. The value is retrieved from the POS device containing the Voltage encryption software. When specified, the transaction will be sent as a Voltage encrypted transaction. The encrypted card data will be specified as normal via the MagneticStripe or Number fields.

This configuration setting is used to pass encoded MasterCard SecureCode issuer or cardholder-generated authentication data. This is a variable length security field up to 32 bytes in length. This setting is only valid for MasterCard E-Commerce transactions.

This configuration setting is used to pass the UCAF Collection Indicator in MasterCard SecureCode e-commerce credit transactions. Mastercard's processing rules allow merchants to gain a liability shift and interchange benefit if they submit their electronic commerce transactions for cardholder authentication. Merchants need to pass the appropriate authentication detail in UCAFData. Other values necessary for passing SecureCode data include UCAFData and ECI. This setting is required in all MasterCard SecureCode E-Commerce transactions. The valid values for this configuration setting are:

This configuration setting is used to pass the UCAF electronic commerce indicators representing the security level and cardholder authentication associated with the transaction. Mastercard's processing rules allow merchants to gain a liability shift and interchange benefit if they submit their electronic commerce transactions for cardholder authentication. Merchants need to pass the appropriate authentication detail in UCAFData. Other values necessary for passing SecureCode data include UCAFIndicator, UCAFData and ECI. This setting is recommended in all MasterCard SecureCode E-Commerce transactions. The valid values for this configuration setting are:

This setting is used to pass the 3D Secure TransactionId (XID) data on to the credit card processor. This setting must be formatted as a 20-byte plaintext value, or a 28-byte Base-64 encoded value. This component may be used in conjunction with the ThreeDSecure component from the E-Payment Integrator toolkit or with any other 3D Secure MPI implementation. For example: Other settings necessary for passing 3D Secure data are CAVV and ECI. This setting is only valid for E-Commerce transactions.

This configuration setting determines whether the input or output stream is closed after the transfer completes. When set to True (default), all streams will be closed after a transfer is completed. To keep streams open after the transfer of data, set this to False. The default value is True.

When set, this configuration setting allows you to specify a different timeout value for establishing a connection. Otherwise, the component will use Timeout for establishing a connection and transmitting/receiving data.

This configuration setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

If a FirewallHost is given, requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.

If the FirewallHost setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the FirewallHost setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

Note: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

This entry is for TCPClient only and does not work for other components that descend from TCPClient.

If this entry is set, the component acts as a server. RemoteHost and RemotePort are used to tell the SOCKS firewall in which address and port to listen to. The firewall rules may ignore RemoteHost, and it is recommended that RemoteHost be set to empty string in this case.

RemotePort is the port in which the firewall will listen to. If set to 0, the firewall will select a random port. The binding (address and port) is provided through the ConnectionStatus event.

The connection to the firewall is made by calling the Connect method.

If FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the component throws an exception.

Note: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

The FirewallPort is set automatically when FirewallType is set to a valid value.

Note: This configuration setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

Possible values are as follows:

Note: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

If the FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the Firewall. If the authentication fails, the component throws an exception.

Note: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to True. A TCP keep-alive packet will be sent after a period of inactivity as defined by KeepAliveTime. If no acknowledgment is received from the remote host, the keep-alive packet will be sent again. This configuration setting specifies the interval at which the successive keep-alive packets are sent in milliseconds. This system default if this value is not specified here is 1 second.

Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to True. By default, the operating system will determine the time a connection is idle before a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) keep-alive packet is sent. This system default if this value is not specified here is 2 hours. In many cases, a shorter interval is more useful. Set this value to the desired interval in milliseconds.

This property controls how a connection is closed. The default is True.

In the case that Linger is True (default), two scenarios determine how long the connection will linger. In the first, if LingerTime is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP timeout expires.

In the second scenario, if LingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified LingerTime is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.

The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the component returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data are sent (even after your application closes).

Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (e.g., by a client acknowledgment), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.

LingerTime is the time, in seconds, the socket connection will linger. This value is 0 by default, which means it will use the default IP timeout.

The LocalHost setting contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface), setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface.

If the component is connected, the LocalHost setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

This configuration setting must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the component to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.

Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by LocalPort after the connection is established.

LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.

This configuration setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.

MaxLineLength is the size of an internal buffer, which holds received data while waiting for an EOL string.

If an EOL string is found in the input stream before MaxLineLength bytes are received, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset.

If no EOL is found, and MaxLineLength bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset.

The minimum value for MaxLineLength is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes.

This configuration setting can be used to throttle outbound TCP traffic. Set this to the number of bytes to be sent per second. By default, this is not set and there is no limit.

This configuration setting optionally specifies a semicolon-separated list of hostnames or IP addresses to bypass when a proxy is in use. When requests are made to hosts specified in this property, the proxy will not be used. For instance:

www.google.com;www.example.com

If set to True, the socket's keep-alive option is enabled and keep-alive packets will be sent periodically to maintain the connection. Set KeepAliveTime and KeepAliveInterval to configure the timing of the keep-alive packets.

Note: This value is not applicable in Java.

When set to True, the socket will send all data that are ready to send at once. When set to False, the socket will send smaller buffered packets of data at small intervals. This is known as the Nagle algorithm.

By default, this configuration setting is set to False.

When set to 0 (default), the component will use IPv4 exclusively. When set to 1, the component will use IPv6 exclusively. To instruct the component to prefer IPv6 addresses, but use IPv4 if IPv6 is not supported on the system, this setting should be set to 2. The default value is 0. Possible values are as follows:
