System Monitor

The System Monitor functionality of the Smart Hub can be viewed and configured by selecting the "System Monitor"
menu item under the "Administration" tab in the Advanced View of the Management Console.
The Periodic Ping Reset Monitor configures the Smart Hub to transmit controlled ping packets to user specified IP
addresses. If the router does not receive a response to the pings the router will reset the cellular data connection.
The purpose of this feature is to ensure recovery of the device if the internet connection disconnects and does not
reconnect for some reason.
This feature works as follows:-
Every "Periodic Ping Timer" value in seconds, the Smart Hub sends 3 consecutive pings to the
ƒ
"Destination Address".
ƒ If all 3 pings fail the Smart Hub sends 3 consecutive pings to the "Second Address".
ƒ The Smart Hub then sends 3 consecutive pings to the "Destination Address" and 3 consecutive pings to
the "Second Address" every "Periodic Ping Accelerated Timer" seconds.
ƒ If all accelerated pings in the step above fail, the Smart Hub resets the cellular data connection after
waiting the amount of time entered in the "Fail Count" times.
"Periodic Ping Timer" should never be set to a value less than 60 seconds; this is to allow the Smart Hub time to
reconnect to the cellular network following a reboot.
To disable the Periodic Ping Reset Monitor simply set to "Fail Count" 0
The Smart Hub can be configured to automatically reboot on a periodic interval specified in minutes. While this is not
necessary, it does ensure that in the case of remote installations it will reboot the Smart Hub if some anomaly occurs.
The default value is 0 which disables the Periodic Reset Timer.
The maximum value is 65535 minutes.
