Permanent connections are reconnected automatically if the far end reboots or the network fails. If the end that initiated the permanent connection reboots the connection will not be reestablished. You need a startup macro to do that. 

Reconnects can be monitored with the Asterisk CLI. For example:

HB-Hub*CLI> rpt lstats 2530
NODE      PEER                RECONNECTS  DIRECTION  CONNECT TIME        CONNECT STATE
----      ----                ----------  ---------  ------------        -------------
2521      192.168.1.6         0           IN         103:14:18.191       ESTABLISHED         
2523      192.168.1.6         0           IN         127:49:25.382       ESTABLISHED         
2529      192.168.1.6         0           IN         103:14:44.239       ESTABLISHED         
27439     173.164.198.177     0           IN         22:16:29.610        ESTABLISHED

2531      192.168.1.6         0           IN         20:47:47.36         ESTABLISHED

I am also wondering of the use of "Permanent" check box.
