P a g e

Use PING in addition to DNS



Sends a PING and DNS request to the specified URL/IP addresses

Checking interval



If no data is received during a time equal to the "checking interval" the connection persistence will
start the URL/IP lookup feature.

Watchdog action



Resets the WWAN module or tries to re-establish the connection to the wireless network. Resetting
the WWAN module can take about 2 minutes, reconnecting to the wireless network will take about
20 seconds.

Timed Reset

The Timed Reset section sets up the device to reset on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

Enabled



Set to

Yes

to enable the

Timed Reset

watchdog. The gateway will reset at the specified time

interval.

Frequency



Set to

Daily

and select the time of the day at which you want to perform the reset.



Set to

Weekly

and select the days of the week you want to perform the reset, and the time of day.

Selected days are green.

IMPORTANT:

The URLs in the table must be the domain name, not the complete URL.
