Restart: After autoping Fails, and an action occurs, the restart time is the length of time the iBoot-G2+ will wait
before restarting to ping again.
With AutoPing operational, the main iBoot-G2+ page will display the current status of this feature. The status
will be OK to indicate that iBoot-G2+ is receiving responses to the ping, or that the fail counter has not yet
been exceeded.
If the fail count has been exceeded, the status will change to FAIL. The Trigger Counter indicates the number
of times the AutoPing action has been triggered. A counter reset button is provided.

Heartbeat
Like AutoPing, the Heartbeat monitor allows iBoot-G2+ to automatically detect failures in critical devices. With
the Heartbeat monitor enabled, iBoot-G2+ will expect a message, either from the USB port or network at
regular intervals.
When it misses a user defined number of intervals, it will perform its programmed action.
Use the heartbeat to insure that you server is running. When the server crashes, it will be automatically
rebooted.
The heartbeat can be generated in any of
several ways;
Using the iBoot Utility.
A Windows .dll file is also available for
use by Windows applications.
The Heartbeat Protocol will allow
developers to imbed this capability
directly into their software products.
All of the above are available at

Heartbeat Settings
Source : Select the source of the heartbeat,
either USB, Network or None (heartbeat not
used). When using the Network, enter the Port to
expect the heartbeat. The default is 9100.
(If Time Server is enabled, port 9100 can not be
changed, and 9100 is used)
Frequency: Enter 1 to 999 seconds. If the
heartbeat is not received within this time it will
increment the counter.
Fail Counter: Enter the number of times (1-99)
the heartbeat needs to fail before the selected
action is taken. When the fail counter is reached,
the heartbeat action will be triggered.
