Autoping Triggers - Dataprobe iBoot-PDU4-N15 Manual

AutoPing Triggers

The AutoPing feature allows iBoot-PDU to automatically detect
failed equipment and perform a timed reboot or other power control
function (like turning on an indicator or siren). You set one or two
IP addresses to be periodically pinged. When iBoot-PDU no longer
detects a response from these addresses, the programmed power
control function is actuated. The two addresses can be AND or OR
linked so that both (AND) or either (OR) need to fail in order to take
the selected action.
