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.
