AutoPing Introduction
The AutoPing feature allows iBoot-G2 to
automatically detect failed equipment and
perform a timed reboot or other power control
function (like turning on an indicator or siren).
You set one or two IP addresses to be
periodically pinged. When iBoot-G2 no longer
detects a response from these addresses, the
programmed power control function is actuated.
The two addresses can be AND or OR linked so
that both (AND) or either (OR) need to fail in
order to take the selected action.
Examples:
Use AutoPing as server monitor: iBoot-G2 is
installed with the device it monitors and
automatically reboots if there is no response.
Ideal for: Kiosks & Servers
Use Auto-Ping as service monitor: iBoot-G2 is
installed with the device to be rebooted, but
pings a remote host to test the communication
channel. Ideal for: DSL & Cable Modem
Verification
iBoot-G2 monitors network device and powers
up alarm or redundant system when there is no
response Ideal for: Hot Standby Servers,
Environmental Control, Alert for any Network
Failure.
