I agree... it needs to be a FIRMWARE thing cause what about the Vonage VOIP phones and MAC Pc's ? They won't run that program in the background!

Why can't this be firmware based instead of client pc based seeni, sorry to say but Ethernet clients and software don't mix very well having clients install it is not a possibility for me it just isn't most of the people here wish they had 0 running in the background is there any plan to upgrade simplestatus from client pc to firmware hardcode?

Yes. this software should be installed at the (client side) customer PC which is connected behind one airBridge unit. This software should be running always at the back round of the PC.

PLEASE keep in mind this simple status will not work for you unless the radio is connected DIRECT to the customer PC...
So far I have had it loaded on one customers PC who does not have a router yet and it seems to work I will call him this evening to get more feedback..

We did not implement watchdog timer feature in the hardware, however we have included this feature in our new firmware 1.4j.8 and 0.01.07.
We also have a (simple reset) smartbridges utiltiy called simplestatus and this utility for the airBridge, to be installed on the client end. You can set the time interval
to check the association. On wireless link and if it is not associated to the AP, it will automatically reset the aB.
The client PC should be running this software at back round screen.
You can download the simpleStatus 090 at http://www.smartbridges.com/beta/utility/simpleStatus090.exe
If any one interested, please try this software and give us your feedback.
Thank you

If thats the cause why is it not working? maybe we need to focus on that if in fact they do have a watchdog timer in the units already? but from my past conversations about the effectiveness of the simple status and explaining this type of feature "watchdog timer" should be in the firmware I got an answer of hmmm we will look into it.. So to me that would indicate it is not in there already?

It has been in there since the product was released. The watchdog timer is a hardware implimentation that preforms a hard reset when the firmware quits responding.

Why doesn't SB software people consider a watchdog timer in the firmware we could set on/off and time between boots ? It would reboot the SB device if it were not associated for xx mins. We could set this feature on or off and set the xx mins time. Not hard to implement, and it might help with the rebooting need.
