"data_exchange_timeout" changes during execution of the thread.
Depending on if the socket gets connected and data exchanges or not
the timeout value is changed.

But when the socket issnt connected its always assigned the same value
which happens in this case.
So data_exchange_timeout is always set to a #defined value of 3000
then passed to NutSleep().
