TTN Gateway Activation operation

I have a TTN Gateway running. It does some community service :-). Sometimes I check if it is still active through the console and it reports “last seen xx hours” which seems strange as it is connected all the time. Also the LED #3 is slowly flashing so it is “activating”.

Rebooting will connect the gateway again.

So is this normal? Can I force checking the gateway existence from the console? Or will a device that finds the gateway trigger the activation again?
