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.

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?

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.

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..

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

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?

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.

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.
