Advanced
Configuration – Remote Management > Device Cloud > Advanced
The settings in the previous section, along with the system defaults are sufficient to
establish a connection to the device cloud server. The settings in the advanced section allow
the connection to be fine-tuned. The parameters described here are concerned with
detecting loss of connection. When the router first connects to the device cloud server, the
link parameters are sent to it. The WAN settings and Ethernet settings described below are
identical, but it should be noted in the command line descriptions that the default keepalive
intervals are different. This is due to the different characteristics of PPP and Ethernet links.
Connection Settings
Disconnect when the device cloud server is idle
Once the router has connected to the device cloud server, and the server has established
that all the settings it holds for the router are current, and no new changes are being
requested, the traffic between the router and device cloud server reduces to the sending of
keep-alive packets. In this situation, it may be advantageous to terminate the connection in
order to reduce bandwidth or to keep data costs down. Ticking this checkbox will cause the
router to negotiate termination of the connection.
Idle Timeout h hours, m minutes, s seconds
The timeout entered here defines how long the router should wait after detecting the idle
condition before negotiating termination of the link. Default is 10 seconds.
WAN Settings
Receive Interval s seconds
This is the time between keep-alive packets that the router should wait before considering
that the connection may be lost.
Transmit Interval s seconds
This is the interval between transmission of keep-alive packets.
Assume connection is lost after n timeouts
Occasional packet loss is to be expected, this parameter will allow for a specified number of
lost keep-alive packets before the connection is deemed to have failed.
