physical Ethernet interface.
Generate Heartbeats on this interface
Enabling this option displays the parameters for heartbeat packets. These are UDP packets
that can contain status information about the router. You can use them in conjunction with
Remote Manager.
Send Heartbeat messages to IP address a.b.c.d every h hrs m mins s seconds
For this setting, a.b.c.d specifies the destination IP address for heartbeat packets and h, m
and s specifies how often the router will transmit heartbeat packets to the specified
destination in (h) Hours, (m) Minutes and (s) Seconds.
Use interface x,y for the source IP address
By default, heartbeat packets is sent with the source IP address of the interface on which they
were generated. If the heartbeat is required to be sent via an IPSec tunnel, use this parameter
to specify the source IP address of the heartbeat packet to ensure the source and destination
match the eroute selectors.
Select the transmit interface using the routing table
When enabled, the UDP heartbeats chooses the best route from the routing table. If disabled
the exit interface will be interface on which the heartbeat is configured.
Include IMSI information in the Heartbeat message
When enabled, the heartbeat includes the IMSI of the cellular module.
Include GPS information in the Heartbeat message
When enabled and the appropriate GPS hardware is installed, the heartbeat includes the GPS
co-ordinates of the router.
Generate Ping packets on this interface
Enabling this option displays the parameters for enabling auto-pings to be transmitted from
this interface. The interface can monitor these pings. If auto-pings were enabled on and if
there is no ping reply, the router takes the interface out of service for a specified amount of
time, before allowing use of the interface again. Another option is to enable auto-pings on this
interface and let the firewall handle taking the interface out of service in the event of a failure.
Both methods are explained in Application Notes on your TransPort product’s Product
Support page.
