3.1 | 1 | In case of recurring connection drops, it can be helpful to monitor the availability of the network. This article describes how to place a small script on a client that continuously pings a specified server and logs the results. With these results, you can, for example: |
| |
2.1 | 2 | |
| |
3.1 | 3 | * determine whether a problem exists in the internal network or on a WAN link |
| 4 | * correlate connection drops of a connection with actual network outages (protocol errors vs. network errors)(% class="box infomessage" %) | ||
| |
2.1 | 5 | ((( |
| |
3.1 | 6 | The Scripts module is already an integral part of the operating system as of firmware 13.00. On RangeeOS 12 or earlier, the software module "**scripts**" must be installed additionally. |

3.1 | 9 | = Configuring the Script = |
| |
2.1 | 10 | |
| |
3.1 | 11 | Navigate to **Tools** (Connections in RangeeOS 12.00 or earlier) -> **Scripts** -> **New Connection**. |
| 12 | To run the script completely invisibly for the user, set it up as follows: | ||
| |
2.1 | 13 | |
| |
3.1 | 14 | * Connection name: freely selectable (e.g.: Pinglog) |
| 15 | _Script (Adjust_ *#ZielIp#** according to your needs):**((( | ||
| 16 | ### Define target address - please adjust | ||
| |
2.1 | 17 | target=#ZielIp### |
| |
3.1 | 18 | ### Function for continuous ping to the gateway |
| |
2.1 | 19 | function ping_target { |
| 20 | echo "~-~-~-~-- Ping to Server ~-~-~-~--" >> $log_file | ||
| 21 | ping -O $target | while read pong; do | ||
| 22 | echo "$(date): $pong" >> $log_file | ||

3.1 | 27 | * Automatic start: on |
| 28 | * Create desktop shortcut: off | ||
| 29 | * Create shortcut in start menu: off | ||
| 30 | * Show notification on start: off(% class="box infomessage" %) | ||
| |
2.1 | 31 | ((( |
| |
3.1 | 32 | If you want to check whether there is a difference between internal and external traffic, you can also create the script multiple times with different #ZielIp# values. |
| 33 | )))After a restart, the ping starts automatically. | ||

3.1 | 35 | = Reading the Results = |
| |
2.1 | 36 | |
| |
3.1 | 37 | You can read the results of the ping attempts under **Tools** (Connections in RangeeOS 12.00 or earlier) -> **Scripts** -> **Your connection name** -> **Log file**. This file may look something like this: |
