RE: [smartBridges] Question For SB

No no im not complaining about the upgrade I got about 80 out of 85 that I attempted upgraded perfect im just wondering why the units have this "sleep" feature that a ping refreshes it back to normal maybe that's why people said they get more fluent use of there radios when they run continues scans/pings on there network.   Chris   From: Seeni Mohamed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2003 9:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Question For SB   Hi Chris,   When the aB not associated, it keeps continuously scan for the access points at every 3 minutes interval. This BETA firmware has built in watchdog timer in built into it which will reset the unit under certain conditions to regain the association and this will ensure that the link is up most of the time.   If there is any time out during the firmware upgrade and it will wait for while (few seconds) and the complete the process. I am sure that the time out for few seconds will not impact the firmware upgrade process and there is no need to wake up the unit by PING command.   Thank you   Seeni sB Tech Support [EMAIL PROTECTED]   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Chance Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2003 10:41 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [smartBridges] Question For SB Importance: High   Interesting question....   I have updated 30 out of my 200 sb's to the latest 1.08 firmware to see how it works and keeps the units up so far most of them are still up solid as bricks but I noticed something... EVERY UNIT and I noticed this before the upgrade times out the first 1 or 2 pings like there sleeping and the ping wakes em up or something. Why is this its kinda annoying. Any suggestions or reasons?
