3.2.1 Routing

The Routing tab shows the parameters of data routing to the Internet.


  • Mode – select the Internet data routing mode. You can choose one direction or both directions specifying the priority.
  • Send ping to – select the server to which the PING requests are to be sent.
  • Ping server 1 – enter the IP address of the server to which the PING requests are to be sent periodically for availability check and response tests.
  • Ping server 2 – enter the IP address of the server to which the PING requests are to be sent periodically for availability check and response tests.
  • Ping delay – set the delay interval in seconds for PING sending.
  • Ping tries – set the count of PING queries after which the given Internet direction will be marked as functional / non-functional.
  • Restart after connection loss – allow for a preventive system restart if the functional Internet connection has been lost.
  • Restart delay – set the Internet connection loss time in minutes after which the system is restarted if allowed so.

Caution

  • If both directions, i.e. both primary and backup, are set in the routing mode, the PING queries are sent to both of them, which checks their states constantly.

  • When the primary direction ceases to work (after a pre-defined count of unsuccessful PING queries) and the backup direction is functional, data routing is switched to the backup direction.

  • When the primary direction starts working again (after a pre-defined count of successful PING queries), data routing is switched back to the primary direction.

  • If the connection is not recovered after the device restart following a connection loss, no more restarts will be performed.
