Yes Chris,  this is the new feature added in the new firmware and we have informed few times in the forum.   Thank you   Seeni, SB support     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Chance Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 4:11 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Remote Power Rebooters   OH I get it very nice. This is on ap's and abo's how come we weren't informed of this previously   From: Seeni Mohamed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 25, 2003 4:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   We have already implemented in our new firmware release 0.01.07 which auto sense the AP every 6 minutes interval. Before the above firmware release, we have developed our own software utility to reset the device in case of no traffic pass thru for a certain interval of time. We have tested this software in our in-house as well as the few customer sites, considerably we found better improvements in the network. If you are already using a new firmware on the aB, there is no need of this software.   Seeni, SB support         -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Chance Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 3:48 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Remote Power Rebooters   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?   From: Seeni Mohamed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 25, 2003 3:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   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.   Seeni, SB support     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Blazen Wireless Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 3:27 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Remote Power Rebooters   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..     ----- Original Message ----- From: Seeni Mohamed To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 25, 2003 12:16 PM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Remote Power Rebooters     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----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Blazen Wireless Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 2:57 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Remote Power Rebooters   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 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Earl Campbell Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 8:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Remote Power Rebooters 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.
