Contents

Uses and Requirements

This API is available to all customers with LwM2M certified devices with a bundle SKU.

This API uses a list of device identifiers (for example, MDNs, MSISDNs, or IMEIs or ICCIDs) and the option to either reboot or factory reset the device.

The API returns three callbacks after a synchronous response that includes the transaction ID:

  1. When the LwM2M gateway receives and queues the command for transmission. The callback includes a timestamp that records the event.
  2. When the LwM2M gateway transmits the command to the device. The callback includes a timestamp that records the event.
  3. When the device completes the operation and re-registers with the LwM2M server. The callback includes a timestamp that records the event.
