We already have a variable which value is set by the user, as we have discussed before.

When the system boot-up. Before user set the wait-entry-time, we need to return a default wait-entry-time, if the user read this sys-interface. The default wait-entry-time is converted by wait-bit.

Once the user set the sys-interface, a variable will be used to save it. And when the user read sys-interface we will return back the variable.
