successfully, the EXPLORER 540 restarts with the new configuration.
Connection watchdog (Link monitoring)
If you are not using the Terminal watchdog function (see Terminal watchdog on page 82), it is
strongly recommended to use the Connection watchdog to monitor your locally established IP
connection, as it enables you to test the satellite (or cellular) connectivity and to keep your
PDP context alive.
The function is slightly different if you are using the cellular network with the optional
EXPLORER 540 LTE Modem installed. The function is described below for BGAN only and then
for cellular connection.
Function with BGAN only
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.
Function with optional Cellular network
When using the cellular network 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 switch to the BGAN connection and repeat the pinging over
the BGAN network. If it still fails, the terminal will eventually restart.
The data connection must be activated before the Connection watchdog can start.
See To start and stop data connections on page 51.
