CHAPTER 6: Reboot Options

Ping Delay After PNA Action: Determines how long the Outlet Managed PDU will wait to send additional Ping commands, after a Ping-No-Answer Reboot has been initiated. Typically, this option is used to allow time for a device to fully "wake up" after a Ping-No-Answer Reboot before attempting to Ping the device again. (Default = 15 Minutes.)

Consecutive Failures: Determines how many consecutive failures of the Ping command must be detected in order to initiate a Ping-No-Answer Reboot. For example, if this value is set to "3", then after three consecutive Ping failures, a Ping-No-Answer Reboot will be performed. (Default = 5.)

Reboot: Enables/Disables the Ping-No-Answer Reboot function for the specified IP address. When this item is disabled, the Outlet Managed PDU will not reboot the specified outlet(s) when a Ping-No-Answer is detected. However, the Outlet Managed PDU can continue to notify you via Email, Syslog Message and/or SNMP Trap, providing that parameters for these functions have been defined as described in Section 5.9 and email notification for the Ping-No-Answer function has been enabled as described in Section 7.5. (Default = No.)

Notes:

In order for Email/Text Message Notification to function, you must first define Email/Text Message parameters as described in Section 5.9.11.

In order for Syslog Message Notification to function, you must first define a Syslog Address as described in Section 5.9.2.

In order for SNMP Trap Notification to function, you must first define SNMP parameters as described in Section 5.9.7.

PNA Action: Determines how the Outlet Managed PDU will react when the IP address fails to respond to a ping. The Outlet Managed PDU can either continuously reboot the specified outlet(s) and send notification until the IP address responds and the Ping-No-Answer Reboot is cleared (Continuous Alarm/Reboot), or the Outlet Managed PDU can reboot the specified outlet(s) and send notification only once each time the Ping-No-Answer Reboot is initially triggered (Single Alarm/Reboot.) (Default = Continuous Alarm/Reboot.)
