7.5. The Ping-No-Answer Alarm
The Ping-No-Answer Alarm is intended to provide notication when one of the IP
addresses dened via the Ping-No-Answer Reboot feature (described in Section 6.1)
fails to respond to a Ping command. When one of the user-dened IP addresses fails
to answer a Ping command, the Outlet Managed PDU can provide notication via
Email, Syslog Message or SNMP Trap.
Notes:
• In order for this alarm to function, IP Addresses for the Ping-
No-Answer reboot feature must first be defined as described in
Section 6.1.
• When a Ping-No-Answer condition is detected, the Outlet
Managed PDU can still reboot the user-selected outlet(s) as
described in Section 6.1, and can also send an email, Syslog
Message and/or SNMP trap as described in this section.
• In order for the Outlet Managed PDU to provide Email alarm
notification, communication parameters must first be defined as
described in Section 5.9.11.
• In order for the Outlet Managed PDU to provide Syslog Message
notification, Syslog parameters must first be defined and Syslog
Messages must be enabled as described in Section 5.9.2 and
Section 11.
• In order for the Outlet Managed PDU to provide SNMP Trap
notification when this alarm is triggered, SNMP parameters must
first be defined, and SNMP Traps must be enabled as described
in Section 5.9.7 and Section 12.
To congure the Ping-No-Answer Alarm, you must access the Outlet Managed PDU
command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands. The
Ping-No-Answer alarm conguration menu offers the following parameters:
• Trigger Enable: Enables/Disables the trigger for this alarm. When
Disabled, this alarm will be suppressed. (Default = On.)
Note:
To cancel an alarm without correcting the condition that caused the
alarm, simply toggle the Trigger Enable parameter to Off and then
back On again.
• Resend Delay: Determines how long the Outlet Managed PDU will wait to
resend an email message generated by this alarm, when the initial attempt to
send the notication was unsuccessful. (Default = 60 Minutes.)
