If the maximum number of retry attempts is made without receiving a response, Loftware Enterprise SP reports an error. This option allows you to configure whether the number of retry attempts is managed via a global setting or a value that you customize for this device. Tip: You can view the value of the global setting in System by clicking System Properties. For Namespace, enter deviceManagement to filter the list, and then view the system key named connection.readRetry.count.	Use Global Setting: The maximum number of retry attempts is specified by a global system key. (Default) Custom Value: The Read Retry Attempts option is displayed and overrides the global setting.
