Advanced Operation
Auto-Ping
The Auto-Ping feature allows iBoot 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 Ping'ed. When
iBoot no longer detects a response from the address, the programmed power
control function is actuated.
♦
Use Auto-Ping Locally: Put iBoot next to the device to be monitored and
reboot it automatically when it no longer responds.
♦
Use Auto-Ping Remotely: Put iBoot at a central facility to monitor a
remote system and power up an alert when the remote device no longer
responds.
