RepeatTimer

Summary

The encoded value of the repeat timer used for network

management messages. This value defines the interval to

wait between repeated messages sent using the

unacknowledged/repeat message service during network

management operations

.

You must set the lcaConnPropsRepeatTimer option in the

ConnectDescTemplate object’s PropertyOptions property to

implement the repeat timer. If the option is not set in

PropertyOptions, then the connection will use the default

value for the property, which is based on network topology.
You can set the number of repeat messages that will be sent

by writing to the RepeatCount property of the

ConnectDescTemplate object.
Note: The value of this property in a ConnectDescTemplate

applies to all permanent monitor points involved in the

connections that are using that template. However, to set the

repeat timer value for monitor and control messages for

temporary monitor points, you need to use the

DsRepeatTimer property.

Availability

Local, full, and lightweight clients.
