ConnectionTimeout isn't a server setting, it is in the section with the header "Client Connection Settings (Basic)". However, to apply to a fbclient, it must be configured in a firebird.conf in the same directory as the fbclient.dll/libfbclient.so Alternatively, in Firebird 3 and higher, you should be able to pass the value in the DPB item isc_dpb_config (which basically takes a linebreak-separated list of key=value with the firebird.conf clientside configuration. There is also isc_dpb_connect_timeout, but as far as I know that only governs the attach handshake, as it is only applied after establishing the socket connection, which makes it unsuitable.
