5.3.1.1.1 Inhibit
On each cycle of the main-loop, every connection-dial-entry checks for the current status of each
configured inhibit-entry. If any status equals or is greater than the configured inhibit mode, this running
connection-dial-entry gets disconnected.
If, for example, the inhibit mode of connection-dial-entry 1 is configured as »Active« and it should be
inhibited by connection-dial-entry 2, entry 1 will be deactivated, if entry 2 owns one of the following states:
Active
Initializing
Connected
Disconnecting
Whereas entry 1 is allowed to connect if entry 2 owns one of the following states:
Power Up Delay
Disconnectet
5.3.1.1.2 Interface- and Ping-Checker
An Interface-Checker is always started for each connection-dial-entry during the initialization-period. The
Interface-Checker checks for the status of the interface each second. If the interface is down due to
whatever reason, the connection-dial-entry will be deactivated.
A Ping-Checker is started for a connection-dial-entry if it is configured during the initialization-period. The
Ping-Checker sends an ICMP-Request on regular configurable interval and checks if an answer is
received. If no answer is received for the maximum of configured attempts, the connection-dial-entry will
be deactivated.
Note
Please note that a connection-dial-
entry won’t join status »disconnected« if there is still one
dial attempt present. That means, it will remain in status »disconnecting« until the »redial-
delay« is reached.
5.3.1.1.3 Connection overview
All created Connection-Manager entries will be listed and displayed with the current status. To improve
clarity the connection background is colored according to its status.
Grey = inactiv [connection entry is inactive], Blue = active [Power Up Delay, connection setup,
initialization], green = Connected [Connection established], red = disconnected [Disconnected, Inhibited
by other connection entry]
A
Reload
link is placed at the end of each row, wich performs a reload of the current connection
configuration. In order perform a reload, first the connection will be stopped, the interface parameters and
connection-dial-entry configuration will be reloaded and finally the connection will be started up again.
Note
The connection will be disconnected during a
Reload
.
A configuration
Reload
re-reads all connection parameters, including interface settings (e.g.
PPP, WWAN).
Changes on interface settings (e.g. PPP, WWAN) and in the Connection-Manager only
becomes active after a
Reload
