Configure XBee Industrial Gateway
Ethernet SureLink™ settings
Digi XBee Industrial Gateway

Currently only cellular communications support SureLink.
You can configure the settings to run a test that examines the functional integrity of the Ethernet
network connection, and take action to recover the connection in the event that the connection is
lost.
Configuring Ethernet SureLink settings
To configure Ethernet SureLink settings, choose one of the following options:
From Remote Manager
1. Click the
Device Management
tab.
2. From the device list, double-click the device to display the device properties menu.
3.
and then click
Save
to save your changes.
From the XBee Industrial Gateway web interface
1. From the XBee Industrial Gateway web interface, click
SureLink
under
Configuration
.
2. Click on the
Ethernet Link Integrity Monitoring
section.
3.
and then click
Apply

Ethernet SureLink settings
You can configure the SureLink settings to run a selected test that examines the functional integrity of
the network connection, and take action to recover the connection in the event that it is lost.
Link test enable
Enables or disables the SureLink feature and the specified link integrity monitoring tests. The default
is
off
(disabled).
Test interval
The interval, in seconds, when the selected test is initiated (repeated). A new test starts every N
seconds while the mobile connection is established. You must specify a valid value between 10 and
65535 seconds. The default is 240. Only the
Ping
,
TCP Connection Test
, and
DNS Lookup Test
options use this setting. The
Device Cloud Connection Test
option does not use this setting.
If the configured interval is less time than it takes a test to complete, the next test will not be
initiated until the previous (current) test has completed.
Test only if link is idle
Use the test repeat interval (above) as an idle period interval. That is, initiate the selected link
integrity test only after receiving no data for the specified interval of time. This changes the behavior
of the test in that the test interval varies according to the presence of other data received from the
mobile connection. Only the
Ping
,
TCP Connection Test
, and
DNS Lookup Test
options use this
setting. The
Device Cloud Connection Test
option does not use this setting.
Although using this idle option may result in less data exchanged over the mobile connection, it also
prevents the link integrity tests from running as often to verify the true bi-directional state of that
connection.
Number of consecutive failures to cause recovery action
The mobile connection will be disconnected and reestablished after the configured number of
consecutive link integrity test failures. This value must be between 1 and 255. The default is 3. The
“consecutive failures” counter resets to zero when the mobile connection is reestablished.
If the mobile connection disconnects for any reason (including not as a result of a link integrity test
failure), the consecutive failures count resets to zero when the mobile connection is reestablished.
