From CCO:

 To set the amount of time that the router waits before trying to bring up a
serial interface when it goes down, use the serial restart-delay command in
interface configuration mode. To restore the default, use the no form of the
command.

    serial restart-delay count
    no serial restart-delay

Syntax Description

count

Frequency, in milliseconds, at which the hardware is reset. Range is from 0
to 900. Default is 0.

Defaults

0 milliseconds

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History
Release Modification

11.2 P

This command was introduced.

12.2(4)T

The count value was changed to set time in milliseconds rather than in
seconds.

Usage Guidelines

The router resets the hardware each time the serial restart timer expires.
This command is often used with the dial backup feature and with the
pulse-time command, which sets the amount of time to wait before redialing
when a DTR dialed device fails to connect.

When the count value is set to the default of 0, the hardware is not reset
when it goes down. In this way, if the interface is used to answer a call,
it does not cause DTR to drop, which can cause a communications device to
disconnect.

Examples

This examples shows the restart delay on serial interface 0 set to 0:
interface Serial0
serial restart-delay 0
