6.1. Ping-No-Answer Reboot
A Ping-No-Answer Reboot can be used to reboot one or more outlets when an
attached device does not respond to a Ping Command. In addition, the Ping-No-
Answer Reboot feature can also be congured to send an email, Syslog Message or
SNMP Trap to notify you whenever a Ping-No-Answer Reboot occurs. Please refer
to Section 7.5 for instructions on setting up email alarm notication for Ping-No-
Answer reboots.
To set up a Ping-No-Answer Reboot, you must access command mode using a
password that permits Administrator level commands. In the Text Interface, the
Ping-No-Answer conguration menu is accessed via the Reboot Options menu
(/RB). In the Web Browser Interface, the Ping-No-Answer conguration menu is
accessed via the Reboot Options link. The Ping-No-Answer conguration menu can
be used to Add, Modify, View or Delete Ping-No-Answer Reboot functions.
6.1.1. Adding Ping-No-Answer Reboots
Up to 54 Ping-No-Answer Reboots can be dened. The Add Ping-No-Answer menu
is used to dene the following parameters for each new Ping-No-Answer Reboot:
• IP Address or Domain Name: The IP address or Domain Name for the
device that you wish to Ping. When the device at this address fails to respond
to the Ping command, the Outlet Managed PDU will reboot the selected
outlets. (Default = undened.)
Note:
In order to use Domain Names, you must first define DNS
parameters as described in Section 5.9.5.
• Ping Interval: Determines how often the Ping command will be sent to the
selected IP Address. The Ping Interval can be any whole number, from 1 to
3,600 seconds. (Default = 60 Seconds.)
Note:
If the Ping Interval is set lower than 20 seconds, it is recommended
to define the "IP Address or Domain Name" parameter using an IP
Address rather than a Domain Name. This ensures more reliable
results in the event that the Domain Name Server is unavailable.
• Interval After Failed Ping: Determines how often the Ping command will
be sent after a previous Ping command receives no response.
(Default = 10 Seconds.)
