Link monitoring
You can monitor the external IP connection of the SAILOR FleetBroadband 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.
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.
6. Click Apply.
When a data session is started with the Default network user group, the terminal will start sending
ping commands to the Primary IP address the number of times specified at Retries. If no response
is received, it will send the same number of ping commands to the Secondary IP address, if
available. If no response is received here either, the terminal will reboot.
Note
Link monitoring is only performed on data connections with
the Default network user group (see Network user groups on
page 70). This data connection must be activated before link
monitoring can start.
Note
Use a server that is reliable and that supports and
responds to ICMP Echo Requests.
