1.1 Introduction to the Auto Detect Function

The auto detect function uses ICMP request/reply packets to test the connectivity of a
network regularly.
The auto detect function is carried out through detecting groups. A detecting group
comprises of a group of the IP addresses to be detected. As the states of detecting
groups indicate network state, they can be used to locate network problems in time
and trigger network devices to take proper measures against network problems.
