General Description - Dataprobe iBoot-G2 Instructions Manual

The iBoot-G2 is a network attached, IP addressed, web controlled AC power switch. Anyone with a web
browser can access iBoot-G2 to perform power On, Off or Power Cycle (Reboot or Power Burst). iBoot-
G2 uses two levels of password for security.
iBoot-G2 features international standard IEC320 connections and is compatible with power mains
worldwide. A simple Web browser interface makes it easy to control power from anywhere in the world
with a click of a mouse. iBoot-G2 also supports Telnet for text commands, as well as Dataprobe's
Exchange Protocol (DxP) for interfacing to a variety of Dataprobe products and custom software
development.
3.1. Uses for iBoot
• Remote reboot of any device,
routers, servers, kiosks, etc. The
device to be rebooted need not be
network attached.
• Secure sensitive
keeping them powered off when not
in use. This prevents hackers from
seeing them at all times.
• Power down equipment when not
needed for power savings and to save on wear and tear.
• Power up alert devices like sirens, lamps, messages; or control environmental system like heaters,
coolers pumps, etc.
3.2. Multiple Control Options
In addition to the Web control capabilities, iBoot-G2 features several other means to operate automatically
or under computer control.
AutoPing: The AutoPing feature allows iBoot-G2 to automatically detect failed equipment and perform a
timed reboot or other power control function (like turning on an indicator or siren). You set 1 or 2 IP
addresses to be periodically pinged. When iBoot-G2 no longer detects a response from the address(es),
the programmed power control function is actuated.
Telnet: iBoot's Command Line Interface (CLI) allows direct control and setup through Telnet.
Dataprobe Exchange Protocol: iBoot-G2 supports Dataprobe Exchange Protocol (DxP) This protocol
allows Dataprobe products to communicate across networks, and allows developers to design custom
applications to integrate iBoot-G2 into custom applications. For more information about DxP, contact
Dataprobe Applications Engineering and Support.
