Parameters description
Name
Description
Ping Watch Dog
It specifies whether to enable the Ping Watch Dog function.
IP Address
It specifies the target IP address that the CPE pings.
Ping Interval
It specifies the interval at which the CPE transmits packets to ping the target IP
address.
Ping Startup Delay
It specifies the delay time for the CPE to enable the Ping Watch Dog function
after the CPE completes startup. Default: 300 s.
Setting a proper Ping Startup Delay time can stop the Ping Watch Dog function
from being triggered during the startup of the CPE. Such triggering leads to
failure of accessing the web UI to modify the settings, causing the CPE to start up
continuously.
Threshold of Lost
Packets
It specifies the threshold of lost packet that triggers reboot. Range: 1 to 65535,
default: 3.
For example, if 5 is set, the device will reboot automatically when it does not
receive response after sending 5 Ping packets to target IP address/domain name.
