Note: If no IP address is entered for a remote site that can be checked with
a ping, then the IP address of the DNS server that was determined during
the PPP negotiation will be checked instead.
D Ping interval
The time entered into the polling table defines the time interval between
ping requests. If the value "0" is entered, then the standard value of 30
seconds applies.
D Values: 0 to 65,535
D 0: Use default
D Default: 30 seconds
D Retries
If no reply to a ping is received then the remote site will be checked in
shorter intervals. The device then tries to reach the remote site once a
second. The number of retries defines how many times these attempts
are repeated. If the value "0" is entered, then the standard value of 5
retries applies.
D Values: 0 to 255
D 0: Use default
D Default: 5 retries
D Loopback address
Sender address sent with the ping; this is also the destination for the
answering ping. The following can be entered as the loopback address:
D Name of a defined IP network.
D 'INT' for the IP address in the first network with the setting 'Intranet'.
D 'DMZ' for the IP address in the first network with the setting 'DMZ'.
Note: If the list of IP networks or loopback addresses contains an entry
named 'DMZ' then the associated IP address will be used.
D Name of a loopback address.
D Any other IP address.
4.9.2 Loopback addresses for time servers
BAT Routers can retrieve time information from public time servers in the In-
ternet (NTP server). The BAT can then be provided the time to all stations in
the local network. When defining the time server, the name or IP address of
the NTP server being queried by the BAT Router can be entered as well as
loopback addresses.
