Continuous ping test

A continuous ping test performs multiple ping tests lasting for the number of 
minutes specified by the 

Test Time

 with a delay time of a specified number of 

Seconds Between Pings

. For example, by default, a continuous ping test would 

perform a ping test lasting 2 minutes with a delay of 5 seconds between ping 
tests on an electricity meter.

Note:

For a continuous ping on a gas module or a two-way water 
module, the time between pings is 0.8 seconds and cannot be 
configured.

Note:

You cannot perform a continuous ping test on a one-way water 
meter. You can perform a FInd on a one-way water meter. See 

 for 

details.

The continuous ping test performs multiple ping tests of an EA_Gas module, REX, 
REX2 and A3 ALPHA meters and EA_Gatekeeper and EA_Repeater.
