Page 5: Introduction
Heartbeat Packet The iBypass Switch monitors the attached device by sending a Heartbeat packet to the device. If the iBypass Switch does not receive the Heartbeat response, it automatically switches network traffic to bypass the unresponsive device—even if the device is still receiving power. The iBypass continues to send the Heartbeat, and will restore traffic flow through the device as soon as the link is restored .For... - Page 6 Bypass Detect You can set the Monitor Ports to cycle on and off while the iBypass Switch is in Bypass ON mode in order to trigger attached devices to alarms to a management system. In Bypass Detect mode, the monitor ports will cycle through five seconds off followed by fifteen seconds on.

(for example, once every millisecond from Monitor Port 1). The iBypass Switch validates the path when it receives the packet on the Monitor Port 2. If the iBypass Switch does not receive the packet as expected three times in a row (assuming the Retry count is set to 3), the iBypass Switch automatically enters Bypass ON mode. -
