To correct this problem, Digi Engineering has suggested that Customers use the command line interface set the ‘tcpip’ value of ‘rto_max’ to a number between 5 and 8.  To accomplish this, a telnet or serial command line connection is required.  The connection must be logged in as “root” and the following command be given to the device:

#> set tcpip rto_max=8

The device must be rebooted for this command to take effect.
