up), you may observe a delay before the first timed connection is attempted. Choose one of the
following options on how to handle the delay:
l
Immediate
: Attempt first timed connection immediately.
l
One Interval
: Attempt the first timed connection after one configured interval (period) has
elapsed.
l
Random Delay
: Attempt the first timed connection after a random interval of time

you have a number of Digi device deployed in a single location and you want to distribute
the first Remote Manager timed connection attempt for each Digi device over time when
power is restored after an outage.
