+		 overrides from the External Service element timeout setting (UI) will  get ignored if greater that

+	 	 IMPORTANT: This timeout value is related with the <http-client>/<response-timeout> setting in restcomm.xml
+	 	 		    and should ALWAYS be smaller than that (defaults to 6000). Typically 1000 ms difference is
+	 	 		    ok but it really depends on the roundtrip time when restcomm contacts RVD.
