Try in this order (notation for antiminer - you may need to use commas where the spaces are)As far as I know, scan time and expiry were settings used before stratum came into existance.
Password parameters
1. scan-time=1
2. scan-time=7 expiry=28
The last answer on the bottom of this thread explains how to determine what your target difficulty should be: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/60721/how-to-select-minimum-difficulty-when-mining-with-slush-pool
To experiment, you will need to use d=[some factor of 2] along with the parameters in 2 above as a starting point.
