Features
Heartbeat Packet
The iBypass Switch monitors the attached device by sending a Heartbeat packet
to the device. If the iBypass Switch does not receive the Heartbeat response, it
automatically switches network traffic to bypass the unresponsive device—even
if the device is still receiving power. The iBypass continues to send the Heartbeat,
and will restore traffic flow through the device as soon as the link is restored .For
special applications, you can customize the Heartbeat Packet rate from the iBypass
Command Line Interface (CLI) or Web Manager GUI.
