Ringdale ISDN user manual Maximum number of Re-transmissions

CONFIGURING YOUR ROUTER

Maximum number of Re-transmissions

This is the maximum number of times that the router will re- transmitt to the device being called after getting no response from the device before giving up. Generally, 15 retries should be sufficient for most devices and networks. However, a larger number of retries could be necessary to compensate for congested networks or slow devices. How you set this option depends somewhat on how you set the RE-Transmission Timeout setting above. Generally, if the Re-Transmission Timeout is set to 1 or 2 seconds, then you would likely not need to set this option to any more than 30 retires -- beyond which there may be a problem that needs attention (as described under Re-Transmission Timeout above). This option can in fact be set to as high as 99 retires. However, such a setting is far in excess of what would be considered the norm. Consider, for instance, that with just a 1 second timeout and 30 retries, the user might wait a total of a half a minute while the router attempts to get a response from the remote device.
