3. Message Format
You can choose the type of e-mail message to send in the event of a failure. The
default message length is normal; the short format is appropriate for messages sent
to cell phones and pagers that have a limited display.
4. Send E-mail for Alerts
This control must be enabled before any e-mail will be sent. You can use this to
turn off e-mail without losing your other settings.
5. Power-Cycle Host If Alert Happens
You can enable the Unit to reset the controlled computer to be automatically
turned off (via power cycle) when an error condition occurs.
Note: This option carries a certain risk to it, because there is a possibility of false
positives with all of the failure tests.
6. Alert If No Video
Enabling “Alert if no video” will cause a notification if no graphics or text video
signal is coming from the controlled computer. Please note that power-saving
screen savers (DPMS) may trigger this falsely. To enable, select “Yes”. To disable,
select “No”.
7. Alert If No NumLock Toggle
If this is enabled, then the Unit will simulate the “Num Lock” key being pressed
regularly (every few seconds). If at any time, the “Num Lock” light does not toggle
in response to a “Num Lock” key-press, then the software on the controlled
computer is assumed to have crashed and this error condition will be active. To
enable, select “Yes”. To disable, select “No”.
8. Alert If Text (Blue Screen)
“Alert if text (blue screen)” occurs when the machine is rebooting (BIOS screen) or
displays “Blue Screen of Death”. This can be useful for detecting self-initiated
reboots. To enable, select “Yes”. To disable, select “No”.
9. Alert If Turtle Shell Active
“Alert if turtle shell active” occurs if turtle mode is activated by too many bad login
attempts over a certain period. To enable, select “Yes”. To disable, select “No”.
10. Alert If Host Power Lost
The alert is activated when the power supply fails to the controlled computer; this
condition is considered active. To enable, select “Yes”. To disable, select “No”.
