                       Sets the timeout for ASAP announces via multicast.

               -registrarconnecttimeout=milliseconds
                       Sets the timeout for ASAP connection establishment.

               -registrarconnectmaxtrials=trials
                       Sets the maximum number of ASAP connection establishment trials.

       Component Status Protocol (CSP) Parameters:

               -cspinterval=milliseconds
                       Sets the interval for the CSP status updates in milliseconds. By default, the content  of
                       the environment variable CSP_INTERVAL is used. If not defined, no CSP status reports will
                       be sent.

               -cspserver=address:port
                       Sets  the  address  of  a  CSP monitor server. By default, the content of the environment
                       variable CSP_SERVER is used. If not defined, no CSP status reports will be sent.

       Logging Parameters:

               -logappend=filename
                       Write logging output to a file (default is stdout); output  will  be  appended  to  given
                       file.

               -logcolor=on|off
                       Turns ANSI colorization of the logging output on or off.

                       Write logging output to a file (default is stdout); given file will be overwritten.

               -loglevel=0-9
                       Sets  the  logging verbosity from 0 (none) to 9 (very verbose).  It is recommended to use
                       at least a value of 2 to see possibly important error messages and warnings.

ENVIRONMENT

       pingpongclient uses the environment variables CSP_SERVER and CSP_INTERVAL to define a CSP server to  send
       reports to in the specified interval.

DIAGNOSTICS

       If loglevel>0, log messages will be printed to stdout or into a specified log file.
