MAX_ACTIVATION_ATTEMPTS
| Required? | No |
| Keyword Type | Unsigned number |
| Default Value | 0 |
| Range | 0–127 |
| Multiples Allowed? | No, only one for each PORT keyword |
The MAX_ACTIVATION_ATTEMPTS parameter specifies the number of retry attempts allowed when the remote node is not responding 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 0–127. A zero means no limit.
This parameter is optional.
This parameter is ignored unless the LINK_STATION keyword referencing
this port specifies MAX_ACTIVATION_ATTEMPTS=-1 and one of the following
parameters on the LINK_STATION keyword is specified:
- DELAY_APPLICATION_RETRIES
- INHERIT_PORT_RETRY_PARMS
- RETRY_LINK_ON_DISCONNECT
- RETRY_LINK_ON_FAILED_START
- RETRY_LINK_ON_FAILURE
