An active check that provides the most reliable and reactive diagnosis of the cellular link, but requires
sending data through the cellular link.

Data Receive Monitor
A passive check that observes the absence of packets received over a given amount of time. This check
cannot reliably determine if the link is down; no network traffic may cause the monitor to signal to
shutdown and re-establish the cellular link even though the link was in a good state.

pings the designated host at the specified interval. TCP tries to make a
connection to the designated host at the interval specified.
Time in seconds between active checking of the cellular link.
Host name or IP address for the keep alive check.
TCP port number to connect with the TCP server (only visible when Keep
Alive Type TCP is selected).
Number of sequential, unsuccessful ping attempts to the specified host to
declare that the link needs to be re-established (only visible when Keep Alive
Type ICMP is selected).
Enable or disable the passive monitoring of the cellular link.
The amount of time that can pass without receiving network traffic before
the cellular link is torn down and re-established.
