o 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.
