Pinging the radio doesn’t keep the Ethernet side up. This is another HUGE reason why I have
started installing routers at ALL my client installations. This way I can add my management PC and
gateway to the routers accepted firewall set, and ping all day long. This not only gives me control up to the
radio, but also into the clients home. Sully -----Original Message----- 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.. -----

[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

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 -----

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
