Ping detection is used to check the network status of the device and is disabled by default. After enabling this function, the device will attempt to ping the specified address and will retry after reaching the number of consecutive failures. It is recommended to enable this setting to avoid being dropped from the network by the base station when no data is sent for a long time.

- The unit of signal strength is dBm and ASU. dBm=-113+2*ASU is calculated.
- RLTK421 supports displaying signal strength via ASU. ASU values range from 1 to 31, and the higher the value, the better the signal strength.
- Generally, if dBm ≥ -90 dBm, ASU ≥ 12, the signal is normal.
