AutoPing
The AutoPing feature allows iBootBar to automatically detect failed equipment and perform a timed reboot or other
power control function (like turning on an indicator or siren). You set any IP address to be periodically pinged.
When iBootBar no longer detects a response from the address, the programmed power control function is actuated.
Up to eight IP addresses can be monitored by AutoPing. Each AutoPing monitor is assigned to an outlet.
Ping Address
Enter the IP address of the device to be pinged.
Ping Frequency
Enter 1 to 999 seconds. The ping will go out to the selected device this often.
Fail Counter
Enter 1-99 times the ping needs to fail consecutively before the selected action is taken. When the
fail count has been reached, the AutoPing action will be triggered.

Off
– Follow
Upon triggering, iBootBar will power off the assigned outlet. When the ping
response returns, iBootBar will power the outlet on.
Cycle
Upon triggering, iBootBar will cycle the power to the assigned outlet.
iBootBar will wait the Ping Frequency x Fail Count; if the response does not
return, the power will be recycled again. This will continue until the ping
response returns or AutoPing is turned off. Make sure your AutoPing
frequency x Fail Count is longer than the time required to reboot your device.
Cycle Once
Upon triggering, iBootBar will cycle power one time. It will not cycle again
automatically until the ping response returns and is lost again.
With AutoPing operational, the iBootBar page will display the current status of this feature. The status will be OK to
indicate that iBootBar is receiving responses to the ping, or that the fail counter has not yet been exceeded. Click on
the Status message to see greater details on the AutoPing status.
If the fail count has been exceeded, the status will change to Triggered. Click on the Status message to see greater
details on the AutoPing status.
Email Notification
Email can be automatically sent for outlet changes, AutoPing triggers and current alarms. The necessary
parameters for email are set using the Telnet / Serial Interface:
set email server <dotted decimal>
set email address <return address 64 char max>
set email username <user name 128 char max>
set email password <password 128 char max>
