142 Chapter 2 Command Descriptions

connidletimeout={none|timeout value}

Enables or disables the idle timeout for the Connectware Manager

connection between device and server. Specifying “none” disables the

idle timeout. Specifying a timeout value enables the idle timeout, which

means the connection will be dropped, or ended, after the amount of time

specified. The default is “on.” The minimum value is 300 and the

maximum 43200.

In contrast to TCP keep-alives, the timeout managed by the

"connidletimeout" option is at the Connectware Manager application

level. The "connidletimeout" option provides a way for the connection to

the Connectware Manager server to be closed if no Connectware

Manager protocol data is sent or received for some period of time. This

capability is particularly useful for server-initiated connections. When a

user at the server side requests that a connection be established to a

device, that user needs to explicitly terminate the connection when they

are done with the device. This timeout permits a way to configure the

device such that a "forgetful user" does not inadvertently leave the

connection in place, which could cost money on a cellular connection if

Connectware or TCP keepalives are enabled and transferred needlessly

between device and server.

revertdeviceid

Reverts the device ID to factory settings. If the device’s MAC address is

GG:HH:JJ:KK:LL:MM, then the device ID is set to

0x0000000000000000GGHHJJffffKKLLMM.
