So ping the radios instead of that
customers J What about kiosks etc...
we need it firmware based Chris From: Mike @
Nitrous [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike @

Monday, August 25, 2003 12:25 PM Subject: RE: [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 ----- From: Tom Haynes Sent: Monday, August 25, 2003 11:30 AM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Remote Power Rebooters 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. -----Original
