7.4. Graceful
Shutdown
The iBoot-G2+ is capable of attempting a graceful
shutdown of Windows based PCs and servers (XP
and later) prior to performing a hard reboot or power
down. Activate and control the performance of this
feature on this page. Use of graceful shutdown
requires installation of the iBoot Utility, which can be
found at
dataprobe.com/support/iboot
.
Graceful Shutdown affects all modes of control of the
iBoot-G2+, including the manual switches, when the
expansion ports are used in Power Control mode.
For each of the three controllable outlets set;
Enabled or Disabled checkbox.
IP Address. Enter the IP Address of the target
system.
Username and Password. Enter a username and
password exactly as entered when installing the iBoot
Utility.
Hard Shutdown Delay. Enter the time, in seconds for the iBoot to wait for the graceful shutdown to complete.
After this time, the iBoot will power down the selected outlet.
Hard Reboot Delay. Enter the time, in seconds or the iBoot to wait for a graceful reboot to occur. If the
graceful reboot is successful within this time, the iBoot WILL NOT perform a hard reboot of the selected outlet.
If a graceful shutdown is not detected, the iBoot WILL perform a hard power cycle of the outlet, as
programmed.
7.5. AutoPing
The AutoPing feature allows iBoot-G2+ to
automatically detect failed equipment and perform a
timed reboot or other power control function (like
turning on an indicator or siren). You set up to four
IP addresses to be periodically pinged. When
iBoot-G2+ no longer detects a response from these
addresses, the programmed power control function
is actuated.
Three separate AutoPing functions are provided
and act independently of each other. AutoPing 1
can use two IP Addresses, which can be AND or
OR linked so that both (AND) or either (OR) need to
fail in order to take the selected action.
Examples:
Use AutoPing as server monitor: iBoot-G2+ is
installed with the device it monitors and
automatically reboots if there is no response. Ideal
for: Kiosks & Servers
