WAPs also time out sessions with no activity and a new key may need to be negotiated (this one caused a lot of grief with a laser Price Gun that we installed).
A ping isn't good enough, because CC must really connect to calibre's content server. Doing a ping would say that the computer is there, but it doesn't say that calibre is there. There is also the problem that a lot of AV tools prevent computers from answering pings.

I suppose that a successful ping could tell CC to increase the timeout, but a ping cannot replace the "real" connection attempt.
