access the iBoot-WiFi directly from your browser or through the iBoot Cloud Service.
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 devices by 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, signage; or control environmental system like heaters, coolers pumps, etc.
3.2. Multiple Control Options
In addition to the Web control capabilities, iBoot-WiFi features several other means to operate automatically or under
computer control.
AutoPing: The AutoPing feature allows iBoot-WiFi 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-WiFi no longer detects a response from the address(es), the programmed power control function is
actuated.
Telnet: iBoot-WiFi's Command Line Interface (CLI) allows direct control and setup through Telnet.
Dataprobe Exchange Protocol: iBoot-WiFi supports the Dataprobe Exchange Protocol (DxP) This protocol allows
Dataprobe products to communicate across networks, and allows developers to design custom applications to integrate
iBoot-WiFi into custom applications. For more information about DxP, contact Dataprobe Applications Engineering and
Support.
