Figure 16. Connection Settings

!Access point defines the APN used to connect to the Internet. For more information on setting the APN see section 1.2.1 Network Connections. Your service provider can give more information about access points.

!Keepalives defines if EMO is allowed to send keepalive signals. The recommended option is Automatic, which means that the device starts sending keepalive signals only if it notices that the network connection is lost periodically. The purpose is to ensure a connection in networks where an idle connection is automatically cut after a certain period.

The option On means that the device sends keepalive messages with 2-minute intervals. Each message is approximately 10 bytes in size.

The option Off means that keepalives are not sent from the device.

Keepalives are always sent from the server side at 15-minute intervals. If keepalives are on (either with the setting On or Automatic), and there are excessive disconnects, EMO goes to Paused mode. Paused mode is indicated to the user by bringing the setting screen to the front to inform the user that EMO is paused. The purpose of the keepalive logic is to avoid extensive connection charges in networks where there is a per-connection fee. Charges may be considerable, particularly when roaming.
