(1) Disconnect a connection if the link noise exceeds a certain threshold.
(2) If the OnCell device does not receive any data from the host for 3 minutes, the OnCell will
then ping the host 4 times. If all pings fail, the OnCell will automatically reboot.

The OnCell
G3111/G3151/G3211/G3251 will
keep pinging the remote host over
the Ethernet every 3 seconds after
powering on. After failing to
connect 5 times in a row, the data
from the serial device will be sent
through the GPRS connection.
When the remote
Ethernet host returns
to normal, data will
revert to being sent
over Ethernet after 5
continuous
successful pings.
