Dataprobe iBoot-G2 Operation Manual - Manual (Page 19)

V140506E iBoot-G2+ Page 19
With AutoPing operational, the main iBoot-G2+ page will display the current status of this feature. The status
will be OK to indicate that iBoot-G2+ 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 FAIL. The Trigger Counter indicates the number
of times the AutoPing action has been triggered. A counter reset button is provided.
Note: All of the AutoPing Settings require a reboot of the iBoot-G2+, after clicking Save. A Reboot button will
appear at the bottom of the page. The new settings will not take effect until the unit is rebooted.
Reboot will not affect the power position of the iBoot-G2+. Upon Clicking Reboot, the Goodbye page
is displayed with a link to re-login.
7.7. Heartbeat
Like AutoPing, the Heartbeat monitor allows
iBoot-G2+ to automatically detect failures in
critical devices. With the Heartbeat monitor
enabled, iBoot-G2+ will expect a message, either
from the USB port or network at regular intervals.
When it misses a user defined number of
intervals, it will perform its programmed action.
Use the heartbeat to insure that you server is
running. When the server crashes, it will be
automatically rebooted.
The heartbeat can be generated in any of several
ways;

Using the iBoot Utility,

A Windows .dll file is also available for use by Windows applications.

The Heartbeat Protocol will allow developers to imbed this capability directly into their software
products.
All of the above are available at
dataprobe.com/support/iboot .
7.8. Heartbeat Settings
Source : Select the source of the heartbeat, either USB,
Network or None (heartbeat not used). When using the
Network, enter the Port to expect the heartbeat. The
default is 9100.
Frequency: Enter 1 to 999 seconds. If the heartbeat is not
received within this time it will increment the counter.
Fail Counter: Enter the number of times (1-99) the
heartbeat needs to fail before the selected action is taken.
When the fail counter is reached, the heartbeat action will be triggered.
