Backoff strategy

If the Retry property is set to true and the probe fails to establish a connection or loses an existing connection to the device, it reverts to a backoff strategy.

The probe will try to reestablish a connection after one second, two seconds, then four seconds, and so on, up to a maximum of 4096 seconds. Once the connection is made to the CORBA interface, the probe tries to log in to the device. If the probe fails to log in, it shuts down and tries to connect again. The backoff strategy remains in place until a successful login occurs.
