# replyTimeout

The timeout interval for replies to outgoing remote messages.

## Declaration

```occ
@property NSTimeInterval replyTimeout;
```

## Discussion

Discussion If a non-oneway remote message is sent and no reply is received by the timeout, an portTimeoutException is raised. The default timeout is the maximum possible value.
