Abstract
An outdoor broadband unit includes a wide area network (WAN) side device, and a local area network (LAN) side device. The LAN side device provides a first stay alive communication to the WAN side device, and the WAN side device performs a soft reset based on the stay alive communication. The LAN side device also receives, based on the stay alive communication, a soft reset result from the WAN side device, and determines, based on the soft reset result, whether the soft reset of the WAN side device is successful or unsuccessful. The LAN side device further provides a second stay alive communication to the WAN side device when the soft reset of the WAN side device is successful.
