4.3.15 Setting System Timers
When a target fails to respond to a ping within the fail time period, a fault is declared
Ping Cycle Period
The NetGuardian's System Timers allow you to control the rate of your pinging activity, time of speaker sounding,
inactivity time for data ports, and discrete alarm detect time. Ping timer settings allow you to balance network
traffic against alarm response times. Although you can change the values from their default settings, it is
recommended that you use either the default settings or plan your settings so that there is no conflict among the
timers. Specifically, the FAIL time should be set to several times the CYCLE time to allow multiple PINGs before
a FAIL is declared. Likewise, the CYCLE time should be set to several times the wait time.
