Watchdog Settings

Watchdog is a function that monitors the communication status between the device and T&D WebStorage Service.
The watchdog timer is incremented while there is no communication from the target device, and an alert will be issued when the timer exceeds the set time.

 IMPORTANT

When you make the Watchdog Settings on a device which has been configured with Power Saving Settings, read [Watchdog Operation with Power Saving Settings Enabled] and check the operation before setting.

 Note

For details on the Power Saving Settings, refer to [Device Settings] - [Network Settings] in this help.

  • The default setting is OFF (no watchdog monitoring).
  • The watchdog will send up to two alert emails. When there is no communication from the device over the set timeout period, the first "Watchdog Alert" email will be sent. A second email will be sent upon reaching half of the set time period without communication. No further alert will be sent until communication is restored. When communication is restored, a "Watchdog Recovery" email will be sent.

Watchdog Operation with Power Saving Settings Enabled

Compatible Devices: TR71A2 / 72A2 / 72A2-S / 75A2

  • When automatic transmission is paused by the Power Saving Settings, the watchdog timer is reset. When automatic transmission is resumed after the set duration of the Auto-Upload Pause ends, timer starts from "0".
