Ping Options
The ‘Ping Options’ section is used to congure 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 specied timeout, an alarm is generated and an
email alert is sent if congured.
Room Alert Signal Tower will ping a single device approximately every four (4) seconds. This results in
each congured 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.
