Auto-Ping |
 |
 |
| |
Available in All versions |
The Auto-Ping feature allows iBoot to automatically detect failed equipment and perform a timed reboot or other power control function (like turning on an indicator or siren). You set any IP address to be periodically Ping'ed. When iBoot no longer detects a response from the address, the programmed power control function is actuated. Power Control can be Power-Up, Power-Down or Timed Reboot (either once or repeatedly until the ping response resumes) when the Ping is not responded to.

| iBoot is installed with the device it
monitors and automatically reboots
if there is no response. Ideal for: Kiosks & Servers

|
Remote-Ping |
|
|
| |
 |
| iBoot is installed with the device to be rebooted, but pings a remote host
to test the communication channel.
Ideal for: DSL & Cable Modem Verification
|

 |
| iBoot monitors network device and
powers up alarm or redundant system
when there is no response Ideal for:
Hot Standby Servers,
Environmental Control,
Alert for any Network Failure

Heartbeat Detector |
|
|
| |
 |
Like Auto-Ping, the Heartbeat monitor allows iBoot to monitor one or more devices and take action when these devices fail. With the Heartbeat monitor enabled, iBoot will expect a network message on a regular interval. 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 it crashes, it will be automatically rebooted. The heartbeat can be generated in any of several ways;
- A Windows executable program that will run as a tray applet that will transmit either continuous heartbeats to an iboot.
- A Windows .dll file is also available for use by Windows™ applications.
- A Windows executable that will run as a tray application, monitor a specific process. If the monitored process stops responding the application will stop transmitting the heartbeat to the iBoot.
- The Heartbeat Protocol will allow developers to imbed this capability directly into their software products.
