Reconnect Timer
Enter the reconnect time in milliseconds. The device attempts to reconnect after
this amount of time after failing a connection or exiting an existing connection.
This behavior depends upon the Disconnect Mode.
Note:
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
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.

Enabled
