4. Description of the RPCM Device
The outputs selection drop-down menu does not disappear after selecting the output. In order to
confirm outputs selection you need to click outside the drop-down menu area. This is organized
in such way to simplify configuration of multiple outputs for a single device for which the watch-
dog is being configured.
Figure 4.11.15 shows the final result when two outputs are configure for a device. Note that out-
put 8 (Output 8) without load is shown in blue color. Output 9 (Output 9) has load, which is de-
pcited by the green color. This observation may occur when a device with two power supplies
has unequal load distribution, for example when one of power supplies works in standby mode.
Figure 4.11.15. Two outputs: Output 8 without load, Output 9 under load.
Note. If the CONSUMPTION test on a device that uses several power socket is enabled, then the mA limit is defined as the
sum of the currents of all the sockets involved. Current value, mA, Alarm limit, mA, Restart limit for reload, mA — they all
operate with a sum of currents. .
In the "
MONITORING INTERVAL
" subsection (see Figure 4.11.11) two important parameters
have to be configured:
Check interval, s
— interval between tests performed by the watchdog
Min. restart interval, s
— indicates the number of seconds during which under no circum-
stances will the subsequent restart be performed
The minimum restart interval plays an important role when monitoring is done using several si-
multaneous tests. Its application prevents multiple restarts of the same device due to triggering
of restart by several tests at the same time. For example, if network becomes unavailable, it can
simultaneously trigger restart by following tests: ping monitoring, TCP port monitoring, and a
hashrate monitoring.
4.11.5.2. Configure Monitoring Parameters
In the right part of the
"Add device"
pop-up window you can configure:
watchdog based on consumption;
watchdog based on hashrate;
watchdog based on TCP port monitoring;
watchdog based on ICMP echo request/reply (ping).
