7.4. AutoPing
The AutoPing feature allows iBoot-WiFi 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-WiFi 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 AutoPing as server monitor: iBoot-WiFi is installed with
the device it monitors and automatically reboots if there is no
response. Ideal for: Kiosks & Servers
Use AutoPing as service monitor: iBoot-WiFi is installed with
the device to be rebooted, but pings a remote host to test the
communication channel. Ideal for: DSL & Cable Modem
Verification.
iBoot-WiFi 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.
