Network timeout monitoring
This feature is supported by all Abeeway trackers.
This feature monitors the LoRaWAN™ network and resets the device in case of trouble. The monitoring consists of two periods:
- network_timeout_check: once this duration elapses the tracker prepends a Link Check Request in all LoRaWAN™ uplinks (to force the network to answer). The associated timer is restarted each time a LoRaWAN™ downlink is received.
- network_timeout_reset: this duration covers the link check request period. Once elapsed, the tracker resets.
Example:
network_timeout_check= 172800 seconds (2 days)
network_timeout_reset= 86400 seconds (1 day)
If after 2 days the tracker did not receive any downlink, it starts
the link check request process. After 1 day of link check request
process without answers, the tracker resets.
Any downlink received by the tracker restarts the timer/mechanism.
Possible configurations
| network_timeout_check | network_timeout_reset | Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| Value = 0 | Value = 0 | Feature disabled. |
| Value = 0 | Value ≠ 0 | A Link Check Request is in all payloads |
| Value ≠ 0 | Value = 0 | When in link check request period, there is no reset as no timeout is set |
| Value ≠ 0 | Value ≠ 0 | Normal configuration |
