RUT850 Auto Reboot
Summary
This chapter is an overview of Auto Reboot functions of RUT routers.
Ping Reboot
The Ping Reboot function will periodically send Ping commands to a specified server and wait for received echos. If no echo is received, the router will send Ping commands a defined number of times at a defined frequency of time. If no echo is received after the defined number of unsuccessful retries, the router will reboot.
