4.13.8 Terminal watchdog
The Terminal watchdog continuously monitors the operational status of the terminal
and allows you to perform the following actions at regular intervals (set by the user):
• Wake up the terminal from power save state
• Start a data connection (PDP context)
• Check your IP connection (ping - similar to Connection watchdog, but only on the
data connection started by the Terminal watchdog)
• Send a position SMS or a loopback SMS to verify SMS connection
The terminal continuously monitors:
• The time (monitors that UTC time is received from GPS at startup)
Note
• CS-attach (the status of circuit-switched connection)
If any of the actions fail, the terminal restarts.
Set up Terminal watchdog
To set up the Terminal watchdog, do as follows:
1. Under Advanced, select Terminal watchdog.
2. Select Enable watchdog.
3. Select Wake terminal from power save if you want the terminal to wake up from
power save state each time the watchdog interval has passed.
If this option is not selected, the Terminal watchdog will only run when the
terminal is awake.
4. Select the Watchdog interval.
