What to do if GlobalSat Adapter is running but Protocol Adapter SDK shows 'Client has been idle' message?
- H
  huntpamelaAug 8, 2025
  If the GlobalSat Adapter device is running and reporting data to the server, but the Protocol Adapter SDK only shows 'Client has been idle, sending websocket ping...', it indicates the device can't connect to the Protocol Adapter SDK. Review the GlobalSat settings to match the configuration section, and ensure the GPRS server hostname is set to the public IP address of the computer/AWS server running the Protocol Adapter SDK. Click 'set to device' and wait for the 'setting message OK' message before closing the configuration tool.

  If the GlobalSat Configuration tool can't open the Setting menu, make sure the device has the newest firmware version. Also, check that you're using the latest version of the configuration tool (v1.8 or later). Ensure DIP switch no. 3 on the device is in the ON position and that the device battery is disconnected. If problems persist, close the configuration tool, disconnect and reconnect the USB cable, and then reopen the tool.

  Anthony PerezAug 23, 2025
  If the GlobalSat Configuration tool is unable to open or connect to a COM port, check if DIP switch no. 3 of the device is in the ON position and that the device battery is not connected. Close the configuration tool, remove and re-insert the USB cable into the device and your computer, then re-open the tool. Ensure that you get a solid red light on the device; if not, repeat the previous steps. Also, confirm that your computer has the correct COM port drivers installed. If not, open Device Manager and manually add a COM/LPT port device driver.

Also, make sure to click the 'set to device' button and wait until all the settings are loaded.

  Crystal WilsonSep 2, 2025
  If the Protocol Adapter SDK is giving the error 'Refilling connections on [endpoint 0, uri: ws://localhost:80/Thingworx/WS] failed : Connection authentication/registration FAILED', ensure that the config.json file has the correct port number, server address, and Application key for the Thingworx application. Also, make sure that Tomcat and ThingWorx are running at the specified port. Verify that the specified port is open and that your URL is correct; try connecting with SSL disabled.
