SUMMARY

A Windows NT RAS client can instruct a Windows NT RAS server how long to wait before calling back, if the Callback feature is enabled. The default for callbacks is 12 seconds. This article describes how to alter this setting.

MORE INFORMATION

To change the default callback time, add a new REG_DWORD value named DefaultCallbackDelay to the following registry key: 

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\PPP
Set the value of the DefaultCallbackDelay value from 0 to 255. This is the callback delay time in seconds.
