Reboot Options
•
Reboot:
Enables/Disables the Ping-No-Answer Reboot function for the specified
IP address. When this item is disabled, the RSM-8R will not reboot the specified
outlet(s) when a Ping-No-Answer is detected. However, the RSM-8R will continue to
notify you via Email, Syslog Message and/or SNMP Trap, providing that parameters
for these functions have been defined as described in Section 5.9 and the Ping-No-
Answer Answer alarm has been enabled as described in Section 7.4.
(Default = No.)
Notes:
• In order for Email/Text Message Notification to function, you must first define
Email/Text Message parameters as described in Section 5.9.11.
• In order for Syslog Message Notification to function, you must first define a
Syslog Address as described in Section 5.9.2.
• In order for SNMP Trap Notification to function, you must first define SNMP
parameters as described in Section 5.9.7.
•
PNA Action:
Determines how the RSM-8R will react when the IP address fails
to respond to a ping. The RSM-8R can either continuously reboot the specified
outlet(s) and send notification until the IP address responds and the Ping-No-
Answer Reboot is cleared (Continuous Alarm/Reboot), or the RSM-8R can reboot
the specified outlet(s) and send notification only once each time the Ping-No-
Answer Reboot is initially triggered (Single Alarm/Reboot.) (Default = Continuous
Alarm/Reboot.)
•
Plug Access:
Determines which outlet(s) will be rebooted when this IP address
for this Ping-No-Answer operation does not respond to a Ping command. Note
that in the Text Interface, Plug Access is defined via a separate submenu; in the
Web Browser Interface, Plug Access is defined via a drop down menu, which may
be accessed by clicking on the "plus" sign in the "Configure Plug Access" field.
(Default = undefined.)
•
Plug Group Access:
Determines which Plug Group(s) the Ping-No-Answer
Reboot for this IP Address will be applied to. Note that in the Text Interface, Plug
Group Access is defined via a separate submenu; in the Web Browser Interface,
Plug Group Access is defined via a drop down menu, which may be accessed by
clicking on the "plus" sign. (Default = undefined.)
•
Ping Test:
(Text Interface Only) Sends a test Ping command to the IP Address or
domain name that has been defined for this Ping-No-Answer Reboot.
Notes:
• In order for the Ping Test function to work properly, your network and/or
firewall as well as the device at the target IP address must be configured to
allow ping commands.
• After you have finished defining or editing Ping-No-Answer Reboot
parameters, make certain to save the changes before proceeding. In the
Web Browser Interface, click on the "Add Ping No Answer" button to save
parameters; in the Text Interface, press the
[Esc]
key several times until the
RSM-8R displays the "Saving Configuration" message and the cursor returns
to the command prompt.
