TIP

As well as being a fail-safe mechanism to monitor network

connectivity, the constant ping can also be used as a 'keep-

alive' message to devices that need uninterrupted connectivity,

such as VoIP telephones.

To use the constant ping and automatic reboot functions, do the following

steps:

1. Click the -ping softdog link under NETWORK CONTROL in the

left-hand settings menu.

• The PING SOFTDOG dialog will be shown (Figure 30

(page 79)).

following steps:

button.

2. Click the Add IP button.

• The IP Address will be added to the IP list.

• There is no limit on the number of IP addresses

that can be entered.

3. To delete an IP address from the IP list, click the red

cross to the right of the IP address listing.

3. To automatically reboot the unit if connectivity is lost between the

unit and any IP address, do the following steps:
