- If the NETx Server has not received any packets from the interface for the timespan set in "Ping after", it sends a ping packet to the interface.
- When the NETx Server receives a response, the timer is reset.
- If the NETx Server does not receive a response, it keeps sending ping packets after every "Ping interval" seconds.
- If the NETx Server has sent the number of ping packets as set in "Ping retries" without a response, the connection to the interface is considered lost and the interface's GATEWAY item is set to False.
- When the connection is reestablished (the NETx Server receives a ping response or any other packet), the GATEWAY item is set to True and the values of all devices/channels are requested from the bus.
