6. Reboot Options
In addition to performing reboot cycles in response to commands, the Outlet
Managed PDU can also be congured to automatically reboot outlets when an
attached device does not respond to a Ping command (Ping-No-Answer Reboot) or
according to a user dened schedule (Scheduled Reboot.)
Ping-No-Answer Reboot: When the Ping-No-Answer feature is enabled, the
Outlet Managed PDU will Ping a user selected IP address at regular intervals.
If the IP address does not respond to the Ping command, the Outlet Managed
PDU will reboot one or more user selected outlet(s). Typically, this feature is
used to reboot devices when they cease to respond to the Ping command.
Scheduled Reboot: A scheduled reboot is used to initiate a reboot cycle at
a user selected time and day of the week. When properly congured and
enabled, the Outlet Managed PDU will reboot one or more outlets on a daily
or weekly basis. The Scheduled Reboot feature can also be used to switch
outlet(s) Off at a user selected time, and then switch them back On again at a
later, user selected time.
This section describes the procedure for conguring and enabling Ping-No-Answer
Reboots and Scheduled Reboots.
