Ping Watch Dog

The Ping Watch Dog is dedicated for continuous monitoring of the particular connection
to remote host using the Ping tool. It makes the access point continuously ping a user
defined IP address (it can be the internet gateway for example). If it is unable to ping
under the user defined constraints, the access point will automatically reboot.
1. Visit http://tplinkap.net, and log in with the username and password you set for the
access point.
2. Go to System Tools
• Enable - Turn on/off Ping Watch Dog.
• Destination IP - The IP address of the target host where the Ping Watch Dog Utility is
sending ping packets.
• Interval - Time interval between two ping packets which are sent out continuously.
• Startup Delay - Time delay before first ping packet is sent out when the access point
is restarted.
• Fail Count - Upper limit of the ping packets the access point can drop continuously. If
this value is overrun, the access point will restart automatically.
- Displays the IP address of the host to receive the traps.
