however, you will increase traffic on your LAN.
1. From the Edit menu select System Timers.
2. Set the Cycle time. This determines how often the NetGuardian will go through its list of ping targets
and attempts to reach them with an ICMP ping. Set the value between zero and 120 and set the
units to either seconds or minutes. Default is 60 seconds.
3. Set the Wait time. The NetGuardian waits after sending a ping request before it determines that the
target is unreachable. Set the value between zero and 12 and set the units to either seconds or
minutes. Default is 8 seconds.
4. Set the Fail time. This determines the period of time over which, if a unit has not responded, it is
considered failed. Set the value between zero and 120 and set the units to either seconds or
minutes. Default is 5 minutes.
5. Set the Sound time. This determines how long the NetGuardian's speaker will sound when an alarm
occurs or clears. The alarm condition will still be present after the speaker shuts off. The sound
timer only affects the duration of the audible alarm annunciation. Set the value between zero and 120
and set the units to either seconds or minutes.
6. Set the Channel time. This determines the period of time over which, if there is no activity on the
data ports designated as channel ports, it is considered failed. Set the value between zero and 120
and set the units to either seconds or minutes. Alarm activity is indicated in Display 11, Point 62.
(See Appendix A, "Display Mapping.")
7. Set the Craft time. This determines the period of time over which, if the device connected through a
port designated as a craft port doesn't reset the timer, an alarm will be triggered. Set between 0
and 120 (min or sec). Alarm activity is indicated in Display 11, Point 63. (See Appendix A, "Display
Mapping.")
8. DCP Poll Delay is the interval between polling of the expansion unit(s) by the NetGuardian G5. Calid
time interval is between 1 second and 24 hours.
9. Set the DCP timeout. Set between 0–120 (sec or min). This determines the period of time over
which, if the NetGuardian does not receive a DCP poll, to trigger an alarm. Once the alarm is
triggered, then dial back-up may be enabled if a T/Mon pager profile is configured.
10. Set the Timed Tick between 0–60 minutes. This is a "keep alive or heartbeat" function that can be
used by Masters who don't perform integrity checks. For example, if you entered 30, the
NetGuardian would notify you every 30 minutes. See section "Setting Up Notification Methods" for
paging information.
11. Set the PPP Connection and PPP Idle times. Once PPP starts, the connection timer will
determine how long PPP stays active. When this timer expires, the PPP Idle timer will determine
how long the NetGuardian attempts to reestablish a wired LAN connection before returning to PPP
mode. Set between 0-120 minutes for both functions.
12. Set the NTP Sync. Set between 0–120 (sec or min).
13. The timer settings are accurate to ± one tick. This means that if a timer is set to one minute, it may
actually respond anywhere from zero to two minutes. If your target time is one minute, then set the
timer to 60 seconds so that it will respond anywhere from 59-61 seconds.
14. Set the Web Edit Timeout time between 5–120 minutes. This determines the period of time a Web
edit page may be active without any activity. A logon is required if a Web edit timeout occurs. The
default Web edit time is 10 mins.
Note: The time units are preset to minutes by default and cannot be changed.
15. Set the Web Monitor Refresh time between 5–120 seconds. This timer enables the user to specify
how long the NetGuardian should wait before auto-refreshing a Monitor page to the Web browser.
