Keep Alive
The frequency (in seconds) at which the local Broker issues a 'keep-alive" message to this remote Broker. Keep-alive messages are generally used to maintain a connection between Brokers that are separated by a firewall. They prevent a firewall from disconnecting what it considers to be an idle connection.
Click the keep-alive value if you want to change it.
A keep-alive interval of 0 seconds disables the keep-alive feature. When disabled, the Keep Alive column for the Remote Broker object will display "Disabled."
