Graceful Shutdown
The iBoot-G2+ is capable of attempting a
graceful shutdown of Windows based PCs and
servers (XP and later) prior to performing a
hard reboot or power down. Activate and
control the performance of this feature on this
page. Use of graceful shutdown requires
installation of the iBoot Utility, which can be
found at
dataprobe.com/support-iboot-g2-plus
.
Graceful Shutdown affects all modes of control
of the iBoot-G2+, including the manual
switches, when the expansion ports are used in
Power Control mode.
For each of the three controllable outlets set;
Enabled or Disabled Checked is enabled.
IP Address. Enter the IP Address of the target
system. (PC running the iBoot Utilty)
Username and Password. Enter a username and password exactly as they were entered in the iBoot Utility on
the target system.
Hard Shutdown Delay. When selecting Off from any control method, this is the time, in seconds for the
iBoot-G2+ to wait for the graceful shutdown to be successful and complete. After this time, successful or not,
the iBoot-G2+ will power down the selected outlet.
Hard Reboot Delay. When an outlet is On, and you select cycle from any control method, this is the time, in
seconds for the iBoot to wait for a graceful reboot to successfully complete. If the graceful reboot is successful
within this time, the iBoot Utility will start on the target PC, and inform the iBoot-G2+ that the reboot completed
successfully. This message will cause the iBoot to
NOT
perform a hard reboot of the selected outlet. If the
iBoot-G2+ does not recieve the successful reboot message from the iBoot Utilty, the iBoot-G2+
WILL
perform
a hard power cycle of the outlet. (Using the cycle time as programmed in the Device section)

AutoPing
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 can program
up to four IP addresses to be periodically pinged.
When iBoot-G2+ no longer detects a response from
these addresses, the programmed power control
function is actuated.
Three separate AutoPing functions are provided
and act independently of each other. AutoPing 1
can use two Addresses, which can be AND or OR
linked so that both (AND) or either (OR) need to fail
in order to take the selected action.
AutoPing 2 and AutoPing 3 are independent single
address functions.
