That currently is my major problem because there is no good way to watch
for it. I can’t put my clients pc’s
into my IP-tools ping list because if they have firewall software it ignores
icmp. -----Original
Message----- I have
noticed that as well a few times a week if not more a client calls to say they
cant log on I see wireless traffic and I see the ABO trying to send TCP IP
traffic on the lan but nothing coming back and we do a reboot and bang works like
a charm.. I just
had another one go down customer called and had to reboot to get the radio to
associate he does not have a router yet either to I sent him the simple status
to try and see if that fixes his problems.. -----

[smartBridges] Remote Power Rebooters The problem we have seen is
that the AB is associated, we can log in remotely but the client cannot pass
traffic from the Ethernet side to the radio side. We reset the AB remotely and then they are on. I’m not sure this utility will help us.
I am also wary of putting any software on my clients machines, they do enough
damage on their own. I’m going to set up a cron job to send the snmp reboot to
all 100+ of my AB’s at 3 am. Mike Nitrous Networks -----Original Message----- 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
Seeni, SB support -----Original Message----- 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? Sb can you confirm?? Thanks ----- Original Message -----

timer is a hardware implimentation that preforms a hard reset when the firmware
quits responding. -----Original
