GrrRouter Configrrration and Status

Help: Setting up Test Targets

The following provide setup facilities for the advanced user. Warning: getting them wrong in the slightest may make your Internet connection spazzz badly. If in doubt use the" reset to factory default" button to reconfigure to something sensible! Really.

Click on a box in the table and type in a new value for URL or protocol. The sites given by an IP number or a URL name will be access periodically to see if the Internet connection is still alive. If a number of faults occur greater than the threshhold set, then GrrRouter will reset your system by turning the power to it on and off. For more inforamtion and instructions please go to the GrrRouter support page.

Help: Timing Paramter Configuration

The following boxes allow adjustment of configuration parameters controlling the timing behavior of GrrRotuer functions. If in doubt, use factory default settings which are designed to be fairly conservative and should work for nearly all modern ADSL systems.

Firstly, a trigger threshold value is defined. If the number of not working or "down" sites rises above this value, then the router will be GrrrRouted and rrrudely reset. With luck, this will cure your ills.

So as not to be too premature about things, there's a time delay before a fault is recognised and the system is power-cycled. If in the meantime stuff seems to be behaving again, the down-time timer is zeroed for each entry (URL) and start again. A sensible value for this might be 5 mins, but this depends on your network and the threshold value. A high threshold (7) with a short time (2 mins) may give you faster resetting and recovery. A low threshold (2) and a short time (1 mins) will probably trip unnecessarily when you're filesharing or something.

The next value is the wait period before a second or subsequent reset will be tried -- don't hit a router when it's down; we need to wait long enough for everything to boot up and settle down before giving it another thump. Therefore, set this value to something sensible, around 10+ mins, else you may have trouble.
