Operating the iBoot-G2+
Алсын цахилгаан удирдлага
The primary function of the iBoot-G2+ is to provide remote control over the power to a connected device. This can be done via the web interface or the iBoot Cloud Service.
- Асаах: Applies power to the connected device.
- Унтраах: Removes power from the connected device.
- Power Cycle (Reboot): Briefly removes power and then reapplies it, effectively rebooting the connected device. This is a common operation for unresponsive network equipment.
AutoPing Reboot Feature
The AutoPing feature allows the iBoot-G2+ to automatically monitor the responsiveness of a network device (e.g., a router or server) by continuously sending ping requests to a specified IP address. If the device fails to respond after a configurable number of attempts or duration, the iBoot-G2+ will automatically power cycle the connected equipment.
- Configure target IP addresses for ping monitoring.
- Set the ping interval and the number of failed pings before a power cycle is initiated.
- This feature ensures minimal downtime for critical network components.
iBoot Cloud Service Access
Dataprobe offers a free iBoot Cloud Service that provides secure, centralized power control and monitoring for multiple iBoot devices from anywhere. This service simplifies management, especially for deployments with numerous iBoot units across different locations.
Figure 4: iBoot Cloud Service for centralized management.
- Register your iBoot-G2+ with the iBoot Cloud Service.
- Manage devices, view status, and perform power operations through a single web интерфейс.
Бодит цагийн сэрэмжлүүлэг
The iBoot-G2+ can send instant notifications via email or SMS for various events, including power status changes, automatic reboots, or network connectivity issues. This keeps you informed about the status of your connected equipment and the iBoot-G2+ itself.
- Configure alert recipients and notification types in the web интерфейс.
- Customize which events trigger alerts.
Засвар үйлчилгээ
The iBoot-G2+ is designed for reliable, low-maintenance operation. Regular maintenance primarily involves ensuring proper ventilation and keeping the unit clean.
- Цэвэрлэгээ: Төхөөрөмжийн гадна талыг цэвэрлэхийн тулд зөөлөн, хуурай даавуу ашиглана уу. Шингэн цэвэрлэгч, уусгагчийг бүү ашигла.
- Агааржуулалт: Ensure the unit is placed in an area with adequate airflow to prevent overheating. Do not block ventilation openings.

Нийтлэг асуудал ба шийдэл
| Асуудал | Боломжит шалтгаан | Шийдэл |
|---|---|---|
| iBoot-G2+ not accessible via web интерфейс. | Incorrect IP address, network cable disconnected, DHCP issue, unit not powered on. | Verify power and network cable connection. Use the iBoot Discovery Tool to find the IP address. Check router's DHCP client list. Ensure the unit is powered on (Outlet On LED should be lit). |
| Connected device does not power cycle. | Device not properly plugged into iBoot-G2+ output, iBoot-G2+ not receiving power, AutoPing not configured correctly. | Ensure the device is securely plugged into the A/C Output. Check iBoot-G2+ power. Review AutoPing settings in the web interface (target IP, ping interval, retry count). |
| AutoPing not working as expected. | Incorrect target IP, network firewall blocking pings, device being pinged is truly unresponsive. | Double-check the target IP address. Ensure no firewall rules are blocking ICMP (ping) traffic from the iBoot-G2+. Confirm the target device is indeed unresponsive. |
| Programmatic control (e.g., via command-line tool) is unreliable. | Network latency, firewall issues, software version incompatibility. | Ensure stable network connection. Check firewall settings on both the iBoot-G2+ and the controlling machine. Verify you are using the latest version of the control software. Consider using the web interface for critical operations if programmatic control is unstable. |
| Hostname not registering with DNS. | Device firmware limitation, network DNS configuration. | Access the device via its IP address directly. Check Dataprobe's support resources for firmware updates that may address this. Ensure your DNS server is configured to accept dynamic updates if applicable. |
