Ping Options
The ‘Ping Options’ section is used to congure up to eight (8) IP Addresses to perform a ‘ping’ on to see
if they are available on the network. This provides a very simple way to ensure that critical devices are
‘up’. If a device does not respond to the ping within the specied timeout, an alarm is generated and an
email alert is sent if congured.
Room Alert Signal Tower will ping a single device approximately every four (4) seconds. This results in
each congured device in the list being pinged at least once approximately every thirty (30) seconds. It
is recommended that the ‘Ping Timeout’ value not be any higher than 5-10 seconds as other alarms will
not be checked while waiting for a ping response.
