Link Integrity - Proxim ORiNOCO AP-800 Installation And Management Manual

3.2.2 Link Integrity

Link Integrity helps to check the connectivity between the AP device and its pre-configured servers (routers, gateway devices
and other devices in the vicinity). The device checks the link integrity by sending ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)
echo probes periodically to the server(s). If the device receives an acknowledgment from a server within the configured time
interval, then the link between that server and AP device is available and the link integrity status is set to UP, otherwise it is set
to DOWN. The same process is followed to check the connectivity with all the configured server(s) sequentially.
If atleast one server responds, then the over all Link Status is set to UP and the AP functionality is continued normally. If all the
servers configured fail to respond, then the over all Link Status is set to DOWN and all the VAPs enabled in AP mode are
disabled. (VAPs in WDS mode remain unaffected. See
Status goes UP.
To configure link integrity parameters, do the following:
1. Navigate to CONFIGURATION > Network > Link Integrity. The Link Integrity screen appears.
2. Configure the following parameters:
•
Status: Specifies status of the link integrity. By default, the status is disabled. Select enable from the drop down
menu to activate the link integrity.
•
Polling Time: Specifies the time interval during which device will check the link integrity with the configured
server(s) by sending the ICMP packet. By default, the Polling Time taken is 30 seconds. To configure, enter the
time interval between 5 seconds - 180 seconds.
•
Offline Polling Time: Specifies the time interval during which device will send the ICMP packets to server(s) in
offline mode (Link status is DOWN). By default the Offline Polling Time taken is 1 second. To configure, enter the
time interval between 1 second - 5 seconds.
•
Polling Retries: Specifies the number of attempts made by the device to send ICMP packets to the server(s),
before declaring the status as DOWN. By default, the Polling Retries taken is 2. To configure, enter the number
of attempts between 1-10.
