Dataprobe Exchange Protocol: iBoot-G2+ supports Dataprobe Exchange Protocol (DxP) This protocol allows
Dataprobe products to communicate across networks, and allows developers to design custom applications to
integrate iBoot-G2+ into custom applications. For more information about DxP, contact Dataprobe
Applications Engineering and Support.
3.3. Expansion to Three Outlets
iBoot-G2+ can be linked to two expansion
units, iBoot-Exp to control three outlets. All
three outlets are controlled and managed
through the iBoot-G2+ web page and CLI.
Each outlet is independently controlled.
AutoPing and Heartbeat can be used to
control the main and expansion units
independently as well.
3.4. Expansion to GPIO
When not used for expansion to iBoot-Exp, the Expansion Ports on the iBoot-G2+ can be used as general
purpose I/O (GPIO) to monitor and control additional devices. Inputs on the expansion ports can be used to
monitor alarm contacts, environmental sensors, relays and switch closures. The outputs can drive relays for
process control, security and environmental controls.
The inputs can also be used to control the power of the main power. Several modes of operation allow the
inputs to be connected to physical switches or other management systems that generate contact closures to
control the power. Inputs 1 and 2 can be set for a variety of power control options.
iBoot-G2+ uses Dataprobe Exchange Protocol (DxP) to communicate with other Dataprobe devices to allow
transport of GPI
O information across the network. DxP protocol is available from Dataprobe’s website,
allowing you to create programs to monitor and control any Dataprobe DxP enabled device, or exchange
status and control between devices across the network.
