3. Browse to the configuration file and click Open...
The configuration is now loaded into your EXPLORER 540. When the configuration is loaded
successfully, the EXPLORER 540 restarts with the new configuration.
Link monitoring
It is strongly recommended to use link monitoring to monitor your locally established IP
connection, as it enables you to test the BGAN connectivity and to keep your PDP context
alive.
With this feature activated, the terminal will send out ping commands to up to three servers of
your choice. When a data session is started, the terminal will start sending ping commands to
the Primary IP address the number of times specified. If no response is received, it will send the
same number of ping commands to the Secondary and then the Tertiary IP address, if
available. If no response is received from any of the IP addresses, the terminal will eventually
restart.
To set up link monitoring, do as follows:
1. Under Advanced, select Link monitoring.
2. Select Enable Link monitoring.
3. At Ping interval (minutes) select the Interval in minutes between the ping commands.
4. Select the Number of retries before the terminal restarts.
5. Select the Ping mode.
• Ping always:
Always send ping, regardless of data traffic.
• Ping when no traffic:
Send ping only if no data traffic is ongoing.
6. Type in the Primary and optionally the Secondary and Tertiary IP address.
This is the IP address of the server(s) to which the terminal will send ping commands.
7. Click Save.
Note
The data connection must be activated before link monitoring can start. See To start
and stop data connections on page 42.
Note
Use a server that is reliable and that responds to ICMP Echo Requests.
