WebRelay Users Manual
Reboot State
Description
After power-up, the WebRelay will wait for the device to boot before sending any ping
requests. The “Waiting for boot” message is displayed during this wait time. The wait
time is specified in the ‘Delay Before First Ping After Reboot’ parameter under the
‘Relay/Input’ tab.
WebRelay is periodically pinging the selected device. This indicates normal operation.
This indicates that a ping request has been sent out and the WebRelay is waiting for a
reply from the device. Usually under normal circumstances the device will reply very
quickly and there will be no time to display this message.
The status field looks like this when one or more ping requests have failed. The top
line indicates the current state. It may be ‘Pinging’, ‘Waiting Reply’, ‘Waiting for boot’,
or in its ‘Reboot Sequence’. The next line (Failures) indicates the number of
consecutive ping request have failed to respond. This counter is reset each time the
WebRelay receives a successful ping response. The counter is also reset each time
the WebRelay re-boots the device. The bottom line (Reboot Attempts) indicates the
number of consecutive times that the WebRelay has re-booted the device. This
counter is reset upon a successful ping response or when the user manually re-boots
the device.
This indicates that the WebRelay is currently performing a reboot. This may be a
single pulse or two pulses with a delay between them depending upon how the
WebRelay is configured.
This indicates that the WebRelay has re-booted the device the maximum number of
times specified in the ‘Max Reboot Attempts’ field under the ‘Relay/Input’ tab. The
device failed to respond to any ping requests, even after being re-booted (possibly
numerous times). Once the maximum number of attempts have been reached,
WebRelay will leave the device powered on and quit trying to perform reboot attempts.
This indicates that the user has turned the auto reboot feature off. Note that the auto
reboot feature will automatically be re-enabled if power is lost and restored to the
WebRelay
Reboot Button
This button may be included on the control page (as specified in the setup). When the user presses this
button, the WebRelay will begin the reboot sequence as defined in the ‘Reboot Options’.
Auto ON/OFF Button
This allows the user to temporarily disable the automatic reboot feature. When automatic reboot is
disabled, the WebRelay will stop pinging the device. Automatic reboot will be disabled until a user re-
enables it or the WebRelay is powered cycled. The user can re-enable this feature by pressing the ‘Auto
ON/OFF’ button, or by changing any of the reboot parameters in the setup pages.
