Reconnect Timer
Enter the reconnect time in milliseconds. The XPort AR attempts to reconnect
after the specified amount of time when a connection fails or when exiting an
established connection. This behavior depends upon the Disconnect Mode.
Notes:
When you configure Tunnel - Connect Mode, you can specify a
number of milliseconds to attempt to reconnect after a dropped
connection has occurred. The default is 1500 milliseconds.
The Reconnect Timer only applies if a Disconnect Mode is configured.
With a Disconnect Mode set, the device server maintains a connection
until the disconnect mode condition is met (at which time the device
server closes the connection). If the tunnel is dropped due to conditions
beyond the device server, the device server attempts to re-establish a
failed connection when the specified reconnect interval reaches its limit.
Any network-side disconnect is considered an error and a reconnect is
attempted without regard to the Connect Mode settings. Simultaneous
Connect Mode connections require some Disconnect Mode
configurations or the connections will never terminate. See
Disconnect
Mode on page 50
for more information about the parameters.
If Disconnect Mode is disabled and the network connection is dropped,
then the re-establishment of a tunnel connection is governed by the
configured Connect Mode settings.
