6.5. Network control
6.5.1. Ping softdog
The
PING SOFTDOG
window contains controls to set up a constant
series of pings to one or more IP addresses.
If connectivity is lost between the unit and any of the saved IP addresses,
an option can also be set to automatically reboot the Cisco FM3200 Base.
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 (
).
