This menu contains the settings for the alive test. The alive test sends a ping to a destination address at configurable intervals. If the destination does not respond, the device performs a reboot or other action according to defined criteria.
To configure the alive test you have to define the target address, the action to be performed, the combination of pings and retries, and the threshold for triggering the defined action. The parameters required for this have the following default values:
- Fail-Limit
- Default value: 10
- Test Interval:
- Default value: 10
- Retry-Interval
- Default value: 1
- Retry-Count
- Default value: 1
These settings cause the device to transmit a ping every 10 seconds (test interval). If this ping is not answered, the device repeats the ping after 1 second (retry interval) and exactly one time (retry count). If this ping also goes unanswered, the device considers the series to have failed. If 10 series in a row fail (fail limit) then the device triggers the defined action, in this case after 10 x 10 seconds = 100 seconds.
