Connection watchdog (Link monitoring)
If you are not using the Terminal watchdog function (see Terminal watchdog on page 69),
you can monitor the external IP connection of the EXPLORER 510 system using the
Connection watchdog. With this feature activated, the terminal will send out ping commands
(ICMP Echo Requests) to up to three servers of your choice.
Function of Connection watchdog
With the connection watchdog activated, the terminal will send out ping commands to up to
three servers of your choice. When a data session is started, the terminal will start sending ping
commands to the Primary IP address the number of times specified. If no response is received,
it will send the same number of ping commands to the Secondary and then the Tertiary IP
address, if available. If no response is received from any of the IP addresses, the terminal will
first try to reconnect. If it fails again the terminal will eventually restart.
To set up the Connection watchdog
To set up the Connection watchdog, do as follows:
1. Under Advanced, select Connection watchdog.
2. Select Enable Connection watchdog.
3. At Ping interval (minutes) select the Interval in minutes between the ping commands.
4. Select the Number of retries before the terminal restarts.
The data connection must be activated before the Connection watchdog can start.
