Use Auto-Ping as service monitor: iBoot-G2+ is installed
with the device to be rebooted, but pings a remote host to
test the communication channel. Ideal for: DSL & Cable
Modem Verification
iBoot-G2+ monitors network device and powers up alarm or
redundant system when there is no response Ideal for: Hot
Standby Servers, Environmental Control, Alert for any
Network Failure
iBoot-G2+ supports three independent AutoPing channels, each controlling either the Main power, or either of
the two Expansion ports. The first AutoPing channel can be programmed with two separate IP Addresses with
logical AND / OR comparisons to determine the final action.
7.6. AutoPing Settings
IP Address Enter the IP address of the device to be
pinged.
Ping Frequency: Enter 1 to 999 seconds. The ping
will go out to the selected device this often.
Fail Count: Enter 1-999 times the ping needs to fail
consecutively before the selected action is taken.
When the fail count has been reached, the AutoPing
action will be triggered.
A/B Logic: (AutoPing 1 only) Select from A Only, A
AND B, A OR B. With AND, both AutoPings need to
exceed their fail count to trigger the Action. With OR,
the Action will be triggered if either AutoPing fails.
Control: Select Main for the internal power outlet, or
Exp1, Exp2 for either of the two expansion ports.
Action: Select from
None AutoPing will not take any action upon Fail.
Power On – Latch Upon triggering, iBoot-G2+ will power on and remain so until changed via the
web, telnet, DxP, etc.
Power On – Follow Upon triggering, iBoot-G2+ will power on. When the ping response returns,
iBoot-G2+ will power off.
Power Off – Latch Upon triggering, iBoot-G2+ will power off and remain so until changed via the
web, telnet, DxP, etc.
Power Off – Follow Upon triggering, iBoot-G2+ will power off. When the ping response returns,
iBoot-G2+ will power on.
Power Cycle
Times
Upon triggering, iBoot-G2+ will cycle the power. If Power Cycle does not
result in the ping response the iBoot-G2+ can cycle again. The number of
times the iBoot-G2+ will cycle is set by the Times setting. To have the iBoot
cycle power 3 times to get the system to respond again, set the Times to 3.
Wait:
This is the length of time the iBoot-G2+ allows for a response to a ping.
