4. Run to Run. I now understand the point you are trying to make. The text for
Clear Configuration Request/Response is not consistent with the other commands
in this section. I am proposing the following changes, which does not change
any behavior, but only creates more consistency in the text:
<text>
Run to Run (q): This is the normal state of operation.
WTP: This is the WTP's normal state of operation. There are many
events that result this state transition:
[...]
Clear Config Request: The WTP receives a Clear Configuration
Request message (see Section 8.8) and MUST generate a
corresponding Clear Configuration Response message (see
Section 8.9). The WTP MUST reset its configuration back to
manufacturer defaults.
[...]
AC: This is the AC's normal state of operation:
[...]
Clear Config Response: The AC sends a Clear Configuration
Request message (see Section 8.8) to the WTP to clear its
configuration. The AC receives a Clear Configuration
Response message from the WTP (see Section 8.9).
</text>
5. Unfortunately, I'm still not understanding the issue you are trying to
raise. I am not claiming that the AC sends echo requests, I am simply stating
that requests (in general) can be transmitted by either the WTP or the AC,
while certain requests may have restrictions which are clearly documented in
the spec. So regardless of whether a request is an echo request, or any other
request, the retransmission, and subsequent timeout, is the same. Therefore
there is no need to add a specific clause for echo requests timing out. |
