Server Inactivity Timeout; Server Hard Timeout; Pad Log: - CalAmp 882-GPRS series User Manual

New Client: If a different client attempts to connect, it will be successful and the current client
will be forcibly disconnected, without any warning.
Timeout: A new client will be accepted only after a specified timeout. The duration of the
timeout is specified by the Inactivity timeout, or the Hard timeout, or a combination of both.
The default value is New Client.

Server Inactivity Timeout:

Time after which the current connection with Client will be terminated without warning. This time
starts over again each time the Client sends data to the server. This parameter is ignored if the
session closes on New Client. If PAD protocol is tcp, the timeout is specified in minutes. If udp, the
timeout is specified in seconds. The valid range for either is 1-65535. 0 will disable this timer.
If both Inactivity Timeout and Hard Timeout are enabled, (neither is 0), then a client session will be
terminated when either timeout is met. In this case, the value for Hard Timeout must exceed the
value for Inactivity Timeout. If the Inactivity Timeout is met, the client will be terminated. If the
Hard Timeout is exceeded without meeting the Inactivity Timeout, the client will be terminated by
the Hard Timeout.

Server Hard Timeout:

Time after which the current connection with Client will be terminated without warning. This is a
fixed time from the initial connection, no matter how much or how often the Client sends data to
the server. This parameter is ignored if the session closes on New Client. If PAD protocol is tcp, the
timeout is specified in minutes. If udp, the timeout is specified in seconds. The valid range for either
is 1-65535. 0 will disable this timer.
If both Inactivity Timeout and Hard Timeout are enabled, (neither is 0), then a client session will be
terminated when either timeout is met. In this case, the value for Hard Timeout must exceed the
value for Inactivity Timeout. If the Inactivity Timeout is met, the client will be terminated. If the
Hard Timeout is exceeded without meeting the Inactivity Timeout, the client will be terminated by
the Hard Timeout.

PAD Log:

When enabled, as data passes through the PAD, a copy is stored in a log file located on the modem
at /tmp/padlog. The log will stop saving data when full and data is lost at modem reset. This is only
used for debugging purposes and isn't normally accessible by the user.
The SAVE button must be pressed for changes to take effect.
