option creates a kind of "fail-proof" mechanism.
Ping Watchdog is dedicated to continuous monitoring of
the specific connection to the remote host using the Ping

packets to the target host and listening for ICMP echo
response replies. If the defined number of replies is not
received, the tool reboots the AF-5X.
