3.6.7 Ping Watchdog
The ping watchdog sets the WIAS-3200N v2 to continuously ping a user defined IP
address (it can be the Internet gateway for example). If it is unable to ping under the user
defined constraints, the WIAS-3200N v2 will automatically reboot. This option creates a
kind of "fail-proof" mechanism.
Ping Watchdog is dedicated for continuous monitoring of the particular connection to
remote host using the Ping tool. The Ping works by sending ICMP “echo request” packets
to the target host and listening for ICMP “echo response” replies. If the defined number of
replies is not received, the tool reboots the device.
Enable Ping Watchdog: control will enable Ping Watchdog Tool.
IP Address to Ping: specify an IP address of the target host which will be monitored
by Ping Watchdog Tool.
Ping Interval: specify time interval (in seconds) between the ICMP “echo requests”
are sent by the Ping Watchdog Tool. Default is 300 seconds.
Startup Delay: specify initial time delay (in seconds) until first ICMP “echo requests”
are sent by the Ping Watchdog Tool. The value of Startup Delay should be at least 60
seconds as the network interface and wireless connection initialization takes
considerable amount of time if the device is rebooted. Default is 300 seconds.
Failure Count To Reboot: specify the number of ICMP “echo response” replies. If the
specified number of ICMP “echo response” packets is not received continuously, the
Ping Watchdog Tool will reboot the device.
