PoE Passthrough
When enabled, the device allows Power over Ethernet (PoE) power to pass from
LAN0 port to LAN1 port. Enable it if you want to supply power to other passive
PoE device by LAN1.
Ping Watch Dog
Ping Watch Dog sets the device to continuously ping a user-defined IP address (it can be the Internet
gateway, for example) to check the network connectivity. If there is a connection failure then the device
will automatically reboot.
Ping Watch Dog is dedicated to continuously monitoring the connectivity to a specific host using the Ping
tool. The Ping tool sends ICMP echo request packets to the target host and listens for ICMP echo response.
If the defined number of replies is not received, the tool reboots the device.

Check the
Enable
box to use the function of Ping Watch Dog.
IP Address To Ping
Specify the IP address of the target host to which the Ping Watch Dog Utility will
send ping packets.
Ping Interval
Enter the time interval (in seconds) between two successive ping packets. The
default value is 300 seconds.
Startup Delay
Enter the initial time delay (in seconds) from device startup to the first ICMP echo
requests sent by Ping Watch Dog. The default value is 300 seconds.
The Startup Delay value should be at least 60 seconds as the device’s initialization
takes a considerable amount of time.
Failure Count To Reboot
Enter the fail count of ICMP echo request. If the device sends the specified count
of ICMP echo requests to the host and none of the corresponding ICMP echo
response packets is received, Ping Watch Dog will reboot the device. The default
value is 3.
