iBoot cabling

iBoot uses international standard IEC320-C13/C14 connections and is autosensing for world wide use.

iBoot Features

FEATURES
BENEFITS
Access from any Network point
No field trips required for Reboot. Save time and money by eliminating service calls and reducing downtime to a minimum.
Web Control
No special software required. Works with any forms capable browser. Easy Web Administration for all configuration.
Dual Password Protected
Separate user and administrator passwords. Deploy iBoots throughout your organization.
IP Addressed, 10/100Base-T
Use on any Ethernet IP network. Public or private. Supports DHCP and alternate ports for Web Access.
Automatic Reboot Operation
Auto-Ping and Heartbeat Detector. Automatic Operation for crashed devices. Auto-Ping pings device while heartbeat listens for periodic message. Complete control over frequency and timers. Developer Assistance and software tools are free.
Direct TCP and Software Control
Control iBoot directly from your software application for the highest degree of power control integration. Simple protocol is freely available. Use iBoot control program to call power control from any network management system
Built in Hub
Reduce cabling and simplify installation. One cable from you network closet serves both the iBoot and server, kiosk, etc. Auto-sensing for uplink/downlink eliminates the need for expensive crossover cables.
110/220 VAC Operation
Auto ranging power input. Deploy iBoot anywhere in the world. iBoot uses IEC320 Connectors and includes line and extension cords for North America.
12 Amp Switching
Current for most Servers, Routers, Kiosks, etc. 10 Amps at 220 VAC
iBoot Control Center Software
Control an unlimited number of iBoots from one software application. Group iBoots for simultaneous actions. Schedule time of day activities like reboot or shutdown every night.

Using iBoot - Point, Click, Reboot

Just point your browser to the IP address of the iBoot, enter the Password and then click power ON, OFF or Reboot. It is that simple.

Autoping

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 Pinged. 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.

Heartbeat Detect

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.



iBoot Applications

Reboot

Remotely reboot any device, routers, servers, kiosks, etc. The device to be rebooted need not be network attached.

Security

Secure sensitive devices by keeping them powered off when not in use. This prevents hackers from detecting them at all times.

Energy Savings

Power down equipment when not needed for power savings and to save on wear and tear.

Notification

Power up alert devices like sirens, lamps, messages;

Control

Power up environmental system like heaters, coolers, pumps, etc
