Link monitoring
You can monitor the external IP connection of the TracPhone system using the
link monitoring feature. With this feature activated, the terminal will send out
ping commands (ICMP Echo Requests) to a server of your choice.
Link monitoring is only performed on data connections with the
Note
Default network user group (see Setting up the network user groups
on page 143). This data connection must be activated before link
monitoring can start.
To set up link monitoring, do as follows:
1. From the left navigation pane, select ADMINISTRATION > Link monitoring.
2. Select Enabled if you want to enable Link monitoring.
3. Select the Interval between each ping.
4. Select the number of Retries before the terminal reboots.
5. Type in the Primary and optionally the Secondary IP address.
This is the IP address of the server(s) to which the terminal will send ping
commands.
Use a server that is reliable and that supports and responds to
Note
ICMP Echo Requests.
6. Click Apply.
