Using Site Manager
Complete the tasks in the following table to specify a value for the minimum
retransmission timeout.
Setting the Maximum Retransmission Timeout
You can specify a maximum value for the retransmission timeout. When one side
of a TCP connection sends a frame and does not receive an acknowledgment from
the other side of the connection within the timeout period, the sending station
retransmits the frame.
If you are transmitting on a low-speed network and you set the maximum
retransmission timeout value too low, the network may become congested, as TCP
retransmits unacknowledged frames that have not yet reached their destination.
Using the BCC
By default, TCP sets the maximum retransmission value to 240,000 ms. To
specify a value for the minimum retransmission timeout, navigate to the TCP
prompt and enter:
max-rto
<
integer>
integer
is a value from 15,000 to 240,000 ms.
