Remarks
We recommend to use heartbeats with specified interval in HeartbeatInt of Logon_Response(60) message, if there was no any other message sent toward server. OEC breaks connections that remain silent longer than 2.5 times of this interval.
We expect client-side applications will apply the same approach in monitoring of incoming traffic on their side.
