ChangeDeviceState - Restore

Restores service to one or more suspended devices.

Uses and Requirements

You should be familiar with the M2M Service Provisioning Rules before suspending and restoring service for devices.

You can specify a list of individual devices, or work with all devices in an account or device group. You can filter the account or device group by service plan or custom field value to limit the devices affected.

The ThingSpace Platform sends an asynchronous CarrierService callback message for each device in the request when service for the device has been restored, or if there was a problem and the service restoration failed.

Request Parameters

Parameter Type Description
DeviceList
optional*		 DeviceIdentifierCollection A list of the devices for which you want to restore service, specified by device identifier. You only need to provide one identifier per device. Do not pass DeviceGroupName, AccountName, DeviceCustomFieldFilter, or DeviceServicePlanFilter if you use this parameter.

You can use GetDeviceList to get a list of all devices in the account.

For each device in DeviceList, use this structure of nested parameters: 

<DeviceIdentifierCollection>
  <DeviceIndentifiers>
    <DeviceIdentifier>
      <Kind></Kind>
      <Identifier></Identifier>
    </DeviceIdentifier>
  </DeviceIndentifiers>
</DeviceIdentifierCollection>
Kind
required for DeviceList		 string The type of the device identifier. Valid types of identifiers are:
  • ESN (decimal)
  • ICCID (up to 20 digits)
  • IMEI (up to 16 digits)
  • MDN
  • MEID (hexadecimal)
  • MSISDN
Identifier
required for DeviceList		 string The value of the device identifier.
DeviceGroupName
optional*		 string The name of a device group if you want to restore service for all devices in that group.
AccountName
optional*		 string The name of an account, which can serve one of two purposes:
  • Indicates that you want to change all devices in that account. Do not also pass DeviceList, DeviceGroupName, or any of the filters.
  • This parameter is required if you are passing DeviceGroupName and you have access to multiple accounts, since a device group name can exist in multiple accounts.

An account name is usually numeric, and must include any leading zeros.
DeviceServicePlanFilter
optional*		 string The name of a service plan, if you want to only include devices that have that service plan. You can use GetServicePlanList to get a list of all service plans in the account.
DeviceCustomFieldFilter
optional*		 CustomFieldFilterObject The names and values of custom fields, if you want to only include devices that have matching custom fields.
Name
required for DeviceCustomFieldFilter		 string The name of the custom field. Valid names are CustomField1, CustomField2, CustomField3, CustomField4, and CustomField5.
Value
required for DeviceCustomFieldFilter		 string The value of the custom field.

Allowed characters in custom field values

  • Alphanumeric characters
  • / (forward slash)
  • SPACE
  • @ (at sign)
  • . (period)
  • , (comma)
  • : (colon)
  • - (hyphen)
  • _ (underscore)
  • ( (open parenthesis)
  • ) (close parenthesis)
  • [ (open bracket)
  • ] (close bracket)
  • # (number sign or hash)
Restore
required		 RestoreDeviceRequest Restores the specified devices from the suspend state.

* You can either specify individual devices with the DeviceList parameter, or you can run the request on all devices that have a specified account name, device group name, service plan name, or custom field value. You can specify an AccountName or a DeviceGroupName plus one or both filters to identify only those devices that match all criteria.

Response Parameters

Parameter Type Description
RequestId string

A unique string that associates the request with the results that are sent via a callback service.

The ThingSpace Platform will send a separate callback message for each device that matched the request criteria, indicating whether the operation succeeded for that device and containing any requested information. All of the callback messages will have the same RequestId.

Callback Response Parameters

Parameter Type Description
CallbackRequest CallbackRequest Wrapper element for all callback elements.
Username string The username defined when a URL was registered for the callback service, or an empty element if no username was defined.
Password string The password defined when a registered for the callback service, or an empty element if no password was defined.
RequestId string A unique string that matches the RequestId returned in the synchronous response to the original API request.

A separate callback message is sent for each device that matched the request criteria, indicating whether the operation succeeded for that device. All of the callback messages will have the same RequestId.
Device DeviceIdentifier The device that was changed.
Kind string The type of the device identifier. Valid types of identifiers are:
  • ESN (decimal)
  • ICCID (up to 20 digits)
  • IMEI (up to 16 digits)
  • MDN
  • MEID (hexadecimal)
  • MIN
  • MSISDN
Identifier string The value of the device identifier.
Data CallbackData The data elements for this callback.
