5.5.3 System Monitor
The Periodic Ping Reset Monitor configures the MyWay to transmit controlled ping packets to user specified IP addresses. If the router
does not receive a response to the pings the router will reboot. The purpose of this feature is to ensure recovery of the device if the
internet connection disconnects and does not reconnect for some reason.
This feature works as follows:-
• Every “Periodic Ping Timer” value in seconds, the MyWay sends 3 consecutive pings to the “Destination Address”.
• If all 3 pings fail the MyWay sends 3 consecutive pings to the “Second Address”.
• The MyWay then sends 3 consecutive pings to the “Destination Address” and 3 consecutive pings to the “Second Address”
every “Periodic Ping Accelerated Timer” seconds.
• If all accelerated pings in step D fail, the MyWay reboots after waiting the amount of time entered in the “Fail Count” times.
• If any of the pings succeed, the MyWay returns to step A and does not reboot.
“Periodic Ping Timer” should never be set to a value less than 60 seconds; this is to allow the MyWay time to reconnect to the cellular
network following a reboot.
To disable the Periodic Ping Reset Monitor simply set to “Fail Count” 0
The MyWay can be configured to automatically reboot on a periodic interval specified in minutes. While this is not necessary, it does
ensure that in the case of remote installations it will reboot the MyWay if some anomaly occurs.
The default value is 0 which disables the Periodic Reset Timer.
The maximum value is 65535 minutes.
