Configuring the watchdog
IP Power Strip allows you to automatically reset connected devices. Reset can be triggered by lack of
response to the ping or exceeded power consumption of the socket (only for PS6-M). Each socket can
be configured independently.
Go to Watchdog tab.
Watchdog IP
From the menu on the left, select an Watchdog IP group.
Activate the Watchdog IP function for the output by checking the Active checkbox.
Configure the IP address at which the device should respond to the ping.
IP Power Strip will periodically check whether the address responds to the ping. After three
unsuccessful attempts, the device will be hard reset (socket will be turned off for about one minute).
In the Power Up Time enter the time that IP power strip has to wait after resetting the device, before
it starts sending ping to the device again.
When three attempts to reset fail, the output will be turned off permanently.
After a watchdog alarm, to restore the normal functioning of the socket, go to Outputs and press the
Reset WD button.
IP watchdog work can be seen on the bottom of the webpage where you will find the information on
the current status of its operations for each of the sockets. These conditions are updated once per
minute, after sending and receiving the ping command to all outlets, so sometimes shown condition
may be out of date.

following conditions
