rsync - Mar 2010 - Rsync - timeout or similar

Is there any parameter in the rsync binary that I can finish the time the
binary should wait to start a file transfer, otherwise close the rsync
binary. As I read the timeout is a parameter used when the connection has
already been established, and when it is not, which parameter I can use?
