Dataprobe iBoot - Remote Power Switch
Dataprobe iBoot - Single Outlet Remote Power Switch
The iBoot, from Dataprobe, is a single outlet remote power switch. Easy to install and even easier to access, simply point your web browser to iBoot's IP address, enter a valid user name and password and with one click, remotely power on, off or cycle the power to the connected equipment.
The iBoot remote power switch uses international standard IEC320 connections and is autosensing for worldwide use. It also has the unique Auto-Ping feature that allows iBoot to monitor any IP device on the network and take automatic action whenever the device is down.
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.
iBoot also has a new Heartbeat Detect feature that allows iBoot to monitor any server or PC running either the free Heartbeat Generator Program, or heartbeats integrated into your custom software. 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.
