AutoPing
The AutoPing feature allows the AR to automatically detect failed equipment and
perform a timed reboot or other power control function (like turning on an indicator or
siren). First specify one or two IP addresses to be periodically pinged. When the AR no
longer receives a response from these addresses, the programmed power control
function is actuated. AND or OR logic can be applied to the two addresses, so that both
(AND) or either (OR) must fail in order to trigger the selected action.
Examples:
Server monitor: AR is installed with the
device it monitors and automatically reboots if
there is no response. Ideal for Kiosks and
Servers.
Service monitor: AR is installed with the
device to be rebooted, but pings a remote
host to test the communication channel. Ideal
for DSL/Cable Modem verification.
AR monitors a network device, and powers
up an alarm or redundant system when there
is no response. Ideal for Hot Standby
Servers, Environmental Control, Alert for any
network failure.
• IP Address 1 and 2: Enter the IP
address(es) of the device(s) to be pinged.
• Frequency 1 and 2: Enter the desired ping frequency in seconds for the
device(s) to be pinged (1-999 seconds).
• Fail Count 1 and 2: Enter the number of times the ping must consecutively fail
(1-999) before the selected action is triggered.
• Mode: Select the logic to be used (AND, OR, or Single). With AND logic, both
AutoPings must exceed their fail count to trigger the action. With OR logic, the
action will be triggered if either AutoPing exceeds its fail count. With Single, only
AutoPing 1 is used.
