VPN Disconnects

Can you please look at the attached log file and tell me why the unit has gone off line at least once a day for the last three days? I see in the log file there are messages about signal harm term received and signal soft term received. What are these referring t[color=red]MOVED TO STAFF NOTE[/color] (106 KB) o?

Are you sure you sent the right log Ted? There were only 2 reboots in the logs and they were 15 minutes apart. I didn’t see anything about signal hard or soft term received.

Did you look in the real time events>

Twice it was a timeout. Please change ‘clidle’ (in comcfg) to 300 and see if that helps.

On the 31st, the 1st, and the 3rd the VPN connection restarted around 10:30 am. I’m not sure why or what happened but twice it was immediately preceded by a df1 connection error so possibly related to the PLC.

In all cases the connection was recovered in about a minute.

The idle time out has been changed.
