AutoPing
The AutoPing feature allows the Axess to automatically detect failed equipment and perform a
timed reboot or other power control function (like turning on an indicator or siren). Set any IP
address to be periodically pinged. When the Axess no longer detects a response from the
address, the programmed power control function is actuated.
Up to 16 AutoPing channels are available, and each AutoPing can be assigned to an outlet or
group. In cluster configurations, any of the 16 AutoPing channels can be assigned to any outlet
on any device in the cluster.
Ping Address: Enter the IP address of the device to be pinged.
Ping Frequency: Enter 1 to 999 seconds. The ping will go out to the selected device this often.
Fail Counter: Enter 1-99 times the ping needs to fail consecutively before the selected action is
taken. When the fail count has been reached, the AutoPing action will be triggered.
AutoPing Action Action Description
None AutoPing not used
On – Latch Upon triggering, selected outlet or group will power on and remain so
until manually changed.
On – Follow Upon triggering, selected outlet or group will power on. When the ping
response returns, outlet or group will power off.
Off – Latch Upon triggering, selected outlet or group will power off and remain so
until manually changed.
Off – Follow Upon triggering, selected outlet or group will power off. When the ping
response returns, outlet or group will power on.
Cycle Upon triggering, Axess will cycle power to selected outlet or group.
Axess will then wait for (Frequency x Fail Count) seconds; if the
response does not return, the power will be cycled again. This will
repeatedly continue until the ping response returns or AutoPing is turned
off. Ensure that the (Frequency x Fail Count) is longer than the time
required to reboot the device.
Cycle Once Upon triggering, Axess will cycle power to selected outlet or group one
time. It will not automatically cycle power again until the ping response
returns and is lost again.
Web Operation:
With AutoPing operational, the AutoPing Status page will display the current status of this
feature. The status will be OK to indicate that the Axess is receiving responses to the ping, or
that the fail counter has not yet been exceeded.
If the fail count has been exceeded, the status will change to Triggered. The counter will
indicate the number of times the AutoPing has been triggered since the last reset. Click on the
Reset button to reset the counter.
