This is valid for scheduled tasks as well as reconnects due to communication failures. If a number of devices are to reconnect or communicate, the activity shall be spread over a period of time.
  • 2.2. Modem shall NOT be configured in Auto-Retry mode, instead the device shall implement a retry mode that is less frequent than the acceptable retry mode described in this document.
  • 2.3. Acceptable retry mode when the application does not get a clear and actionable error code:
  • • a) GSM/GPRS Registration Failures. It is acceptable for an application to reboot the modem in case of GSM registration failure or in case of GPRS Attach failure due to transient reasons or due to no network available, but no more frequently than once every 5 minutes, not more than 10 times per hour and not more than 20 times per day.
    • b) SMS Failures. It is acceptable for an application to retry in case of SMS failures. Retries may be attempted no more frequently than once every minute, not more than 10 times per hour and not more than 15 times per day.

However, resets may be attempted no more frequently than once every 1 minute, not more than 10 times per hour and not more than 20 times per day.
    • e) SMS retries using SMSC account when SMS sent from SMSC account to M2M device cannot be delivered for any reason. Maximum 5 expired SMS for one day or 20 expired SMS for one week per single device is accepted.
  • 2.4. When the application gets a clear and actionable error code, the M2M solution is recommended to take appropriate and logical action according to the mobile network error code, with the goal that this shall result in less frequent retries than the Acceptable retry mode when the application does not get a clear and actionable error code.
  • 2.5. Conservative Use of Resources
  • • a) Customer shall make sure that devices are switched off when subscription is terminated.
