Operating the iBoot-G2+

Daljinski nadzor napajanja

The primary function of the iBoot-G2+ is to provide remote control over the power to a connected device. This can be done via the web interface or the iBoot Cloud Service.

• Vklop: Applies power to the connected device.
• Ugasniti: Removes power from the connected device.
• Power Cycle (Reboot): Briefly removes power and then reapplies it, effectively rebooting the connected device. This is a common operation for unresponsive network equipment.

AutoPing Reboot Feature

The AutoPing feature allows the iBoot-G2+ to automatically monitor the responsiveness of a network device (e.g., a router or server) by continuously sending ping requests to a specified IP address. If the device fails to respond after a configurable number of attempts or duration, the iBoot-G2+ will automatically power cycle the connected equipment.

• Configure target IP addresses for ping monitoring.
• Set the ping interval and the number of failed pings before a power cycle is initiated.
• This feature ensures minimal downtime for critical network components.

iBoot Cloud Service Access

Dataprobe offers a free iBoot Cloud Service that provides secure, centralized power control and monitoring for multiple iBoot devices from anywhere. This service simplifies management, especially for deployments with numerous iBoot units across different locations.

• Configure alert recipients and notification types in the web vmesnik.
• Customize which events trigger alerts.

Vzdrževanje

The iBoot-G2+ is designed for reliable, low-maintenance operation. Regular maintenance primarily involves ensuring proper ventilation and keeping the unit clean.

• Čiščenje: Za čiščenje zunanjosti enote uporabite mehko, suho krpo. Ne uporabljajte tekočih čistil ali topil.
