What is the "heartbeat"?

When the dedicated server starts up I get a message saying "sending heartbeat to masterjk2.ravensoft.com". I know that is some sort of ping, or packet saying I'm here, but what should happen after it sends the heartbeat? Should there be a message that it was recieved, or nothing?

There is no respose except for the console message that it was sent. Of course, this typically means that the server can reach the master server--which is a good thing. Basically the heartbeat lets the master server know that your server is up and running so that it is included in the list of servers to join.
