AutoPing Triggers
The AutoPing feature allows iBoot-PDU to automatically detect failed equipment and perform a timed reboot or
other power control function (like turning on an indicator or siren). You set one or two IP addresses to be
periodically pinged. When iBoot-PDU no longer detects a response from these addresses, the programmed
power control function is actuated. The two addresses 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 Auto-Ping as service monitor:
iBoot-PDU is installed with the
device to be rebooted, but pings a
remote host to test the
communication channel. Ideal for:
DSL & Cable Modem Verification.
Use AutoPing as server monitor:
iBoot-PDU is installed with the
device it monitors and automatically
reboots if there is no response. Ideal
for: datacenters and digital signage
iBoot-PDU 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.
