This object controls the number of times that a retry sequence is repeated for the local SDLC link station. A retry sequence is a series of retransmitted frames ( data or control) for which no positive acknowledgement is received.

The interval between retry sequences is controlled by the object: sdlcLSAdminRETRIESn. The retries per sequence is controlled by the object: sdlcLSAdminRETRIESm.

Depending on the implementation, a write operation to this administered value may not change the operational value, sdlcLSOperRETRIESn, until the link station is cycled inactive.
