4.3.1.5 Reset Duration
If the Reset button in the switching menu is triggered, the device will turn of the specified Power Port, wait the time entered
here (in seconds) and then it will turn on the power port again.
4.3.2 Watchdog
While using the watchdog, electrical devices can be observed. The watchdog sends ICMP-pings or TCP-pings to the device.
If these pings were not answered, during a defined delay (time or pings), the power port will reset. The watchdog function
allows to restart e.g. crashed servers or NAS systems.
You can check the watchdog function and other imformation inside of the switching menu. There are different colors:
Green text: Watchdog is active and receives ping replies
Orange text: Watchdog is activating at the moment, waiting for first ping reply
Red text: Watchdog is active and does not receive ping replies any longer
When watchdog is activating it waits of a first ping reply. During this time, the information is written as an orange text. After
the receive of the first ping reply, it switches to active, written in green letters.
When a watchdog reset a power port, the watchdog again waits for a first ping reply, as stated above.
