The TOS check will send ICMP frame(s) (as would the normal PING check) but with the TOS field set to the value you enter. An "UP" check is one were the ICMP frames come back within the given timeout (same rules as for the normal ping check) AND the returned ICMP frames must have the same TOS value as the one that was send.
Not all systems will be able to send a TOS that is different from 0 (and also not reply with one that is different from 0). For Windows system you will have to enable the TOS setting in the registry as indicated within the documentation. Dirk Bulinckx.

There are several changes around the SNMP TRAP sender/receiver, the DNS check has been extended with better support for the different types of DNS records and support for round-robin DNS checks and the PING check has been enhanced with a TOS check (quality of service). Mostly this new release includes several changes/fixes for the possible loops/hangs that people got in v6.1 We also updated the Remote Agent for Windows with a URL check, TCP check and the TOS ping check. This updated Remote Agent for Windows only works with Servers Alive v6.2 Servers Alive v6.2 (and the new Remote Agent for Windows) can be downloaded from http://www.woodstone.nu/salive/download.asp Servers Alive v6.2 uses the same license as Servers Alive v6.1 (and v6). If you're still running an older version (v5.x or older) then concider an upgrade to v6.2. An upgrade to v6.2 can be purchased via http://www.woodstone.nu/salive/purchase.asp Dirk Bulinckx.
