Remote(uri='http://127.0.0.1:8270', timeout=None)

Connects to a remote server at uri.

Optional timeout can be used to specify a timeout to wait when initially connecting to the server and if a connection accidentally closes. Timeout can be given as seconds (e.g. 60) or using Robot Framework time format (e.g. 60s, 2 minutes 10 seconds).

The default timeout is typically several minutes, but it depends on the operating system and its configuration. Notice that setting a timeout that is shorter than keyword execution time will interrupt the keyword.
