MAX_ACTIVATION_ATTEMPTS

Required? Yes
Keyword Type Signed number
Default -1
Range -1–127
Multiples Allowed? No, only one for each LINK_STATION keyword

The MAX_ACTIVATION_ATTEMPTS parameter specifies the number of retry attempts allowed when the remote node does not respond, or the port is inactive. The attempts include both automatic retries and application-driven activation attempts. When this limit is reached, no further activation retries are attempted. The number of retries attempted is reset by a successful activation, or when a link station, port, or DLC is deactivated.

The value is an integer in the range of -1–127.
  • If -1 is specified, the value specified on the MAX_ACTIVATION_ATTEMPTS parameter of the PORT keyword is used.
  • If 0 is specified, there is no limit.

This parameter is required. The default is -1.

This parameter is ignored unless one of the following parameters is specified:
  • DELAY_APPLICATION_RETRIES
  • INHERIT_PORT_RETRY_PARMS
  • RETRY_LINK_ON_DISCONNECT
  • RETRY_LINK_ON_FAILED_START
