AutoPing
The AutoPing feature allows the AR to automatically detect failed equipment and perform a
timed reboot or other power control function (like turning on an indicator or siren). First specify
one or two IP addresses to be periodically pinged. When the AR no longer receives a response
from these addresses, the programmed power control function is actuated. AND or OR logic can
be applied to the two addresses, so that both (AND) or either (OR) must fail in order to trigger
the selected action.
Examples:
Server monitor: AR is installed with
the device it monitors and
automatically reboots if there is no
response. Ideal for Kiosks and
Servers.
Service monitor: AR is installed with
the device to be rebooted, but pings a
remote host to test the communication
channel. Ideal for DSL/Cable Modem
verification.
AR monitors a network device, and
powers up an alarm or redundant
system when there is no response.
Ideal for Hot Standby Servers,
Environmental Control, Alert for any
network failure.
•
IP Address 1 and 2: Enter the IP address(es) of the device(s) to be pinged.
•
Frequency 1 and 2: Enter the desired ping frequency in seconds for the
device(s) to be pinged (1-999 seconds).
•
Fail Count 1 and 2: Enter the number of times the ping must consecutively fail
(1-999) before the selected action is triggered.
•
Mode: Select the logic to be used (AND, OR, or Single). With AND logic, both
AutoPings must exceed their fail count to trigger the action. With OR logic, the
action will be triggered if either AutoPing exceeds its fail count. With Single, only
AutoPing 1 is used.
