Reboot Options

•Ping Delay After Reboot: Determines how long the MPC 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 = 3.)

•Reboot: Enables/Disables the Ping-No-Answer Reboot function for the specified IP address. When this item is disabled, the MPC will not reboot the specified outlet(s) when a Ping-No-Answer is detected. However, the MPC will 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 7.6. (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.

•Plug Access: Determines which outlet(s) will be rebooted when this IP address for this Ping-No-Answer operation does not respond to a Ping command. Note that in the Text Interface, Plug Access is defined via a separate submenu; in the Web Browser Interface, Plug Access is defined via a drop down menu, which may be accessed by clicking on the "plus" sign in the "Configure Plug Access" field. If your installation includes optional AUX units, please refer to Section 6.1.1.1 for additional instructions regarding granting access to plugs on AUX units.

(Default = undefined.)

•Plug Group Access: Determines which Plug Group(s) the Ping-No-Answer Reboot for this IP Address will be applied to. Note that in the Text Interface, Plug Group Access is defined via a separate submenu; in the Web Browser Interface, Plug Group Access is defined via a drop down menu, which may be accessed by clicking on the "plus" sign. (Default = undefined.)

•Ping Test: Sends a test Ping command to the IP Address defined for this Ping-No- Answer Reboot.

Note: After you have finished defining or editing Ping-No-Answer Reboot parameters, make certain to save the changes before proceeding. In the Web Browser Interface, click on the "Add Ping No Answer" button to save parameters; in the Text Interface, press the [Esc] key several times until the MPC displays the "Saving Configuration" message and the cursor returns to the command prompt.
