Enable/disable wifi watchdog.
This feature is used to ensure wifi connectivity. If the watchdog is enabled and the threshold time has expired, wifi is restarted in attempt to re-establish connectivity. The threshold time expires when wifi connectivity becomes disconnected.
The ping/target test pings up to 3 targets (servers) to validate wifi connectivity. Care must be taken to ensure the pings are sent across the correct network interface. The ping test is a reliable method to ensure connectivity status but is not required by the watchdog.
If no ping targets are defined the system performs an internal test to determine wifi connectivity.
A target can be cleared by entering either "0" or "0.0.0.0". Initially, all targets are not set to anything (NULL string). Once they have been defined, they can be cleared but will display "0" or "0.0.0.0" The wifi gateway can be pinged by specifying any of the 3 targets as "gw".
n=0 | disable watchdog |
n=1 | enable watchdog |
t=31 to 65535 | Watchdog threshold time in seconds (Default 120) |
p = 0 to 16 | number of pings per test (default = 10). If p = 0, no pings will be sent and network RX/TX traffic |
target | ping target : IP address or URL (default = none) |
target2 | additional ping target : IP address or URL (default = none) |
target3 | additional ping target : IP address or URL (default = none) |
