Ping Watchdog 

Enables use of 

Ping Watchdog

.

• 

IP Address To Ping 

Specify the IP address of the target 

host to be monitored by 

Ping Watchdog

.

• 

Ping Interval 

Specify the time interval (in seconds) 

between the ICMP echo requests that are sent by 

Ping 

Watchdog

. The default value is 

300

 seconds.

• 

Startup Delay 

Specify the initial time delay (in seconds) 

until the first ICMP echo requests are sent by 

Ping 

Watchdog

. The default value is 

300 

seconds.

The Startup Delay value should be at least 60 seconds 
as the network interface and wireless connection 
initialization takes a considerable amount of time if the 
airFiber AF24 is rebooted.

• 

Failure Count to Reboot 

Specify the number of ICMP 

echo response replies. If the specified number of ICMP 
echo response packets is not received continuously, 

Ping Watchdog

 will reboot the airFiber AF24. The default 

value is 

3

.

• 

Save Support Info 

This generates a support 

information file.

SNMP Agent

Simple Network Monitor Protocol (SNMP) is an 
application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange 
of management information between network 
devices. Network administrators use SNMP to monitor 
network-attached devices for issues that warrant 
attention. 
The airFiber AF24 contains an 

SNMP Agent

, which does the 

following:

• 

Provides an interface for device monitoring using SNMP

• 

Communicates with SNMP management applications 
for network provisioning

• 

Allows network administrators to monitor network 
performance and troubleshoot network problems

For the purpose of equipment identification, configure the 

SNMP Agent

 with contact and location information:

SNMP Agent 

Enables the 

SNMP Agent

.

• 

SNMP Community 

Specify the SNMP community 

string. It is required to authenticate access to 
Management Information Base (MIB) objects and 
functions as an embedded password. The airFiber AF24 
also supports a read-only community string; authorized 
management stations have read access to all the objects 
in the MIB except the community strings, but do not 
have write access. The airFiber AF24 supports SNMP v1. 
The default SNMP Community is 

public

.

• 

Contact 

Specify the contact who should be notified in 

case of emergency.

• 

Location 

Specify the physical location of the airFiber 

AF24.

Web Server

The following 

Web Server

 parameters can be set:

Secure Connection (HTTPS) 

If enabled, the 

Web Server

 

uses secure HTTPS mode. 

• 

Secure Server Port 

If secure HTTPS mode is used, 

specify the TCP/IP port of the 

Web Server

.

Server Port 

If HTTP mode is used, specify the TCP/IP port 

of the 

Web Server

.

Session Timeout 

Specifies the maximum timeout before 

the session expires. Once a session expires, you must log 
in again using the username and password.

SSH Server

The following 

SSH Server

 parameters can be set:

SSH Server 

This option enables SSH access to the airFiber 

AF24.

• 

Server Port 

Specify the TCP/IP port of the 

SSH Server

.

• 

Password Authentication 

If enabled, you must 

authenticate using administrator credentials to 
grant SSH access to the airFiber AF24; otherwise, an 
authorized key is required.

• 

Authorized Keys 

Click 

Edit

 to import a public key file 

for SSH access to the airFiber AF24 instead of using an 
admin password.
