Configuration
corresponds to a period of approx. two hours and 20 minutes. A value of zero means
that the initialization is off.
Repower delay: When this feature is enabled (value greater than 0), the power port will
switch itself on again a specified time after it has been disabled. Unlike the "
Reset
" but-
ton this function applies to all switch actions, including SNMP, or an optional serial inter-
face.
Reset Duration: When the "
Reset
" button is triggered, the device turns the power port
off, waits for the time entered here (in seconds) and turns the power port on.
3.1.1
Watchdog
The watchdog feature enables to monitor various remote devices. Therefore either ICMP
pings or TCP pings are sent to the device to be monitored. If these pings are not
answered within a certain time (both the time and the number of attempts can be set),
the port is reset. This allows e.g. to automatically restart not responding server or NAS
systems. The mode IP master-slave port allows you to switch a port depending on the
availability of a remote device.
When a watchdog is activated it presents various information in the Control Panel. The
information is color-coded.
·
Green text: The watchdog is active and regularly receives ping replies.
·
Orange text: The watchdog is currently enabled, and waits for the first Ping response.
·
Red text: The watchdog is active and receives no ping replies anymore from the con-
figured IP address.
After the watchdog has been enabled, the display remains orange until the watchdog re-
ceives a ping response for the first time. Only then the watchdog is activated. Even after
triggering a watchdog and a subsequent power port reset, the display will remain orange
until the device is rebooted and responds again to ping requests. This will prevent a pre-
mature watchdog reset of the port, e.g. when a server needs a long time for a file check.
You can monitor devices on your own network, as well as devices on an external net-
work, e.g. the operating status of a router.
