URL: fill in the domain in this blank for detecting.
Delay: this is used to configure the starting delay time. Because in some cases, the
device could not be started to connect with the specify address as soon as
started, so you need to set a delay time to ensure the device have run normally.
Interval: set the interval time for ping packets.
Timeout: set the timeout time. The default is 4s.
Fall time: when the failing times beyond the times you set, the device will reset the
radio or reboot automatically.
