Hi Bernard,

In most cases the other elements will not be stuck because one element is waiting for the timeout period.

I can think of 2 exceptions where it would be affecting the other elements:

• The element are polling the same device IP:Port AND lock/unlock actions are being used in the protocol.xml
• The elements are flagging a lock (or mutex) somewhere in a qaction and the qactions of other elements would also require that lock. But that is a scenario that is not likely to happen
