Reboot Options
•
Ping Delay After PNA Action:
Determines how long the VMR/NPS will wait to
send additional Ping commands, after a Ping-No-Answer Reboot has been initiated.
Typically, this option is used to allow time for a device to fully "wake up" after a
Ping-No-Answer Reboot before attempting to Ping the device again.
(Default = 15 Minutes)
•
Consecutive Failures:
Determines how many consecutive failures of the Ping
command must be detected in order to initiate a Ping-No-Answer Reboot. For
example, if this value is set to "3", then after three consecutive Ping failures, a
Ping-No-Answer Reboot will be performed. (Default = 5)
•
Reboot:
Enables/Disables the Ping-No-Answer Reboot function for the specified
IP address. When this item is disabled, the VMR/NPS will not reboot the specified
outlet(s) when a Ping-No-Answer is detected. However, the VMR/NPS can
continue to notify you via Email, Syslog Message and/or SNMP Trap, providing that
parameters for these functions have been defined as described in Section 6.8 and
email notification for the Ping-No-Answer function has been enabled as described
in Section 8.5. (Default = No)
Notes:
• In order for Email/Text Message Notification to function, you must first define
Email/Text Message parameters as described in Section 6.8.10.
• In order for Syslog Message Notification to function, you must first define a
Syslog Address as described in Section 6.8.1.
• In order for SNMP Trap Notification to function, you must first define SNMP
parameters as described in Section 6.8.6.
•
PNA Action:
Determines how the VMR/NPS will react when the IP address fails
to respond to a ping. The VMR/NPS can either continuously reboot the specified
outlet(s) and send notification until the IP address responds and the Ping-No-
Answer Reboot is cleared (Continuous Alarm/Reboot), or the VMR/NPS can reboot
the specified outlet(s) and send notification only once each time the Ping-No-
Answer Reboot is initially triggered (Single Alarm/Reboot.) (Default = Continuous
Alarm/Reboot)
•
Plug Access:
Determines which outlet(s) will be rebooted when the IP address for
this Ping-No-Answer operation does not respond to a Ping command. Note that
in the Text Interface, Plug Access is defined via a separate submenu; in the Web
Browser Interface, Plug Access is defined via a drop down menu, accessed by
clicking on the "plus" sign in the "Configure Plug Access" field.
(Default = undefined)
•
Plug Group Access:
Determines which Plug Group(s) the Ping-No-Answer
Reboot for this IP Address will be applied to. Note that in the Text Interface, Plug
Group Access is defined via a separate submenu; in the Web Browser Interface,
Plug Group Access is defined via a drop down menu, which may be accessed by
clicking on the "plus" sign. (Default = undefined)
