Hi Surasej,
Transparent means that you are monitoring *through* the device to another address, rather than just monitoring that address itself. In other words, if you want to monitor a firewall or router, it does you no good to ping the inside interface because that doesn't tell you anything about path availability. So you monitor through that device to something else.
Hope that helps,
Denny
