General Description
The iB-30 is an high power version of our iBoot-G2 Web Enabled Power Switch. Anyone with a web
browser can access iB-30 to perform power On, Off or Power Cycle (Reboot or Power Burst). The iB-
30 uses two levels of password for security.
The iB-30 will allow a user to turn on and off a 120/240 VAC powered device with a maximum current
draw of up to 30 Amps. A simple Web browser interface makes it easy to control power from
anywhere in the world with a click of a mouse. iB-30 also supports Telnet for text commands, as well
as Dataprobe’s Exchange Protocol (DxP) for interfacing to a variety of Dataprobe products and
custom software development.
Note:
iB-30 – iBoot-G2 reference
In some parts of the manual references and drawings are made to the iBoot-G2 which is the core
network interface and controller board used in the iB-30.
Uses for iBoot
•
Remote reboot of any device,
routers, servers, kiosks, etc. The
device to be rebooted need not be
network attached.
•
Secure sensitive devices by keeping
them powered off when not in use.
This prevents hackers from seeing
them at all times.
•
Power down equipment when not
needed for power savings and to
save on wear and tear.
•
Power up alert devices like sirens, lamps, messages; or control environmental system like
heaters, coolers pumps, etc.
Multiple Control Options
In addition to the Web control capabilities, iB-30 features several other means to operate
automatically or under computer control.
AutoPing: The AutoPing feature allows iB-30 to automatically detect failed equipment and perform a
timed reboot or other power control function (like turning on an indicator or siren). You set 1 or 2 IP
addresses to be periodically pinged. When iB-30 no longer detects a response from the address(es),
the programmed power control function is actuated.
Telnet: iBoot’s Command Line Interface (CLI) allows direct command and setup through Telnet.
Dataprobe Exchange Protocol: iB-30 supports Dataprobe Exchange Protocol (DxP) This protocol
allows Dataprobe products to communicate across networks, and allows developers to design custom
applications to integrate iB-30 into custom applications. For more information about DxP, contact
Dataprobe Applications Engineering and Support.
