Autoping - Dataprobe iBootBar iBB-N15 Installation And Operations

AutoPing

The AutoPing feature allows iBootBar to automatically detect failed equipment and perform a timed reboot or other
power control function (like turning on an indicator or siren). You set any IP address to be periodically pinged. When
iBootBar no longer detects a response from the address, the programmed power control function is actuated.
Up to 16 AutoPing channels are available and each AutoPing can be assigned to an outlet or group. In cluster
configurations, any of the 16 AutoPing channels can be assigned to any outlet on any device in the cluster.
Ping Address Enter the IP address of the device to be pinged.
Ping Frequency Enter 1 to 999 seconds. The ping will go out to the selected device this often.
Fail Counter Enter 1-99 times the ping needs to fail consecutively before the selected action is taken. When the fail
count has been reached, the AutoPing action will be triggered.

Web Operation:
With AutoPing operational, the AutoPing Status page will display the current status of this feature. The status will be OK
to indicate that iBootBar is receiving responses to the ping, or that the fail counter has not yet been exceeded.
If the fail count has been exceeded, the status will change to Triggered. The counter will indicate the number of times
the AutoPing has been triggered since the last reset. Click on the Reset button to reset the counter.

iBootBar will wait the Ping Frequency x Fail Count; if the response does not
return, the power will be recycled again. This will continue until the ping
response returns or AutoPing is turned off. Make sure your AutoPing
frequency x Fail Count is longer than the time required to reboot your device.
Upon triggering, iBootBar will cycle power one time. It will not cycle again
automatically until the ping response returns and is lost again.
