Ping Interface

The Ping (ping) interface provides a standard method for validating that a devices is reachable and that both ends of the connection are up.

When ping is implemented for a device, the Control Gateway automatically pings the device once-per-minute. This is intended to prevent, or reset stale or half-open connections, common with long running/always open TCP connections.
