3.9 AutoPing and Power Reboot:

Each power outlet has optional settings that a NP system uses
to ping network equipment. The pinged equipment is attached
to a specific power outlet. It reboots user equipment power
source if a network connection is not detected any more.
However, user equipment never gets power reboot if the
equipment never replies ping reply to a NP system.

A power outlet has the optional settings (Power Outlet Setup
Menu) that specify the destination IP address that the system

will ping periodically, and maximum network downtime allowed.
In addition, to avoid unwanted reboots, a NP system also pings
the gateway IP address (as default) to make sure a NP system
has a network connection that is still active. Otherwise,
AutoPing will be in off mode if a NP system lost network
connection. To change the default gateway IP address as ping
destination, use TCP/IP Configuration Menu to enter your
desired destination address.

A NP system provides command line options for viewing
or changing system configuration and operation status. In
addition, by using the control command option, users are
able to create script files for automation of equipment test
and control.

Control commands are applicable to the connections between
your work station and Local Master Serial Port or a Telnet
session.

Some of the control commands are also applicable to emails.
See related sections for more detailed information about how to
setup email accounts.

Once the system starts or a Telnet session is open, you
are ready to send control command to the system. Type
command “help” to have a complete list of available
commands, as shown in Figure 13.

All login levels including anonymous users are able to use
the command line option. However, the actual command
executions are based on your login level. For example, if
you are an anonymous user, you are not able to reserve or
un-reserve serial console ports or power outlets. If you login
at Administration level, you are able to operate any serial ports
and power outlets, reserve or unreserved any ports or outlets
even if they are reserved by other users. See Section 2.2 for
a complete description of user privileges.
