2. Server need to check update time from AdvHeartBeat Table only.
3. If the latest update time is over timeout ( Note: This value is depend on Server. Recommend: 3 x send rate => 3 x 60 = 180 sec => tolerate drop 2 AdvHeartBeat MSG ).
   1. If it is timeout & status is connected => then change status to disconnect & send a "Re-Connect" message to this device
4. If server check there is latest AdvHeartBeat message in table but there are not device information in device list table ( SQL ).
   1. Server sends a re-connect message to this device.
   2. Server needs to send "Get Capability" message to client after receiving a connect info message. Agent will send all handlers' capability to server.
