Reconnecting after AP shutdown.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SIMPLICITI

Hi together

i'm working with the sensor demo v1.5...
My problem is when the AP shuts down/ deconnects (for whatever reason, doesn't matter) and then is connected again, the AP doesn't receive any messages from the EDs anymore, although the EDs keep sending messages....

I have to reboot the EDs to get it working again

is there a way to solve that problem without having to reboot the EDs

regards

Chris

    If I remember correctly, unless you are sleeping the EDs so the AP has to store messages, once the AP establishes a connection between the two ED, the AP could then go go away and the ED could stil communicate, unless the AP needs to act as a repeater also. Maybe you could reset the SimpliciTI stack if an ED can't find a node?

    ...i don't  treally understand your answer...sorry

    i think that the problem is that the

    SMPL_Link(&linkID1)

    routine isn't called anymore once the ED enters it's main workflow (--> while (1))

    on the other hand putting the  SMPL_Link in the main workflow can't be the solution....as i don't want to call it every second

    ..and i  also can't see what the AP does in this situation because the debugging seesion is of course terminated once I deplug the AP point..

    This is from a TI seminar I attended recently:

    AP – Access Point
    •Allows Access to the Network
    •Stores and Forward Messages for sleeping end devices
    •Serves as a Range Extender

    RE – Range Extender
    •Repeats message Traffic
    •Like the AP, Device is always on

    ED – End Device
    •Always on, Doesn’t require Store and Forward Services from the AP

    SD – Sleeping End Device
    •Requires Store and Forward Services from the AP

    So an AP creates links between EDs, and stores and forwards messages from SDs. Once a link between EDs is created, unless the AP is needed as a repeater, the EDs should be able to communicate bewteen themselves without further AP interaction.
