This object sets, in seconds, how long the device waits between retry attempts when trying to establish a connection for a Frame Relay to ATM Network Interworking circuit mapping. An admin can shorten this interval to reconnect faster after a transient outage or lengthen it to reduce retry traffic on a persistently unreachable destination. For example, the default of 10 seconds means the device retries a failed FR-to-ATM connection attempt roughly every 10 seconds until it succeeds.
