Power Cycle Once
Power On – Latch: Upon loss of ping response, iBoot will power on and remain so until changed
via the web, ibootctl.exe or direct messaging.
Power On – Follow: Upon loss of ping response, iBoot will power on. When the ping response
returns, iBoot will power off.
Power Off – Latch: Upon loss of ping response, iBoot will power off and remain so until changed
via the web, ibootctl.exe or direct messaging.
Power Off – Follow: Upon loss of ping response, iBoot will power off. When the ping response
returns, iBoot will power on.
Power Cycle: Upon loss of ping response, iBoot will cycle the power. iBoot will wait the Ping
Frequency; if the response does not return, the power will be recycled again. This will continue
until the ping response returns or Auto Ping is turned off. Make sure your Auto Ping frequency is
longer than the time required to reboot your device.
Power Cycle Once: Upon loss of ping response, iBoot will cycle power one time. It will not cycle
again automatically until the ping response returns and is lost again.
Using Auto-Ping
With Auto-Ping operational, the main iBoot
page will display the current status of this
feature. The status will be OK to indicate
that iBoot 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 Triggered. The
Trigger Counter indicates the number of
times the Auto-Ping feature has been triggered. A counter reset button is
provided when logging in with the System password.
