Number of Cycles

If the error continues even after repeating REBOOT a certain number of times ->(7), REBOOT will not be executed once. And one hour after the first REBOOT, this device will do REBOOT several times again ->(A). The number of (A). (Default 0 means “unlimited”)

2）After modifying settings, be sure click on the “Apply” button.

If the monitoring target is valid, the target number will turn green. If the unit detects abnormality (if the target is unresponsive to pings) the color will change to red. During recovery, the number will turn yellow.

Page 50

Caution

After an action, if device continue to be unresponsive to PINGs, the unit will continue to ping normally every hour. After the unit’s front panel LED is set to “abnormal” (red), only one reboot action will be taken per hour. This is to prevent excessive power cycles if another issue is preventing its normal operation.

How PING Monitoring Works

The unit sends one ICMP echo request packet at configured interval and waits for a response. The unit will consider the device (outlet) frozen/unresponsive if the number of no-replies fulfill the configured count within the number of pings configured in the “send” parameter. The unit will then perform the selected action.

Example) Send: 5 NoAns: 3

Response Good → Bad → Good → Bad → Good → Bad In the above case, the device is considered frozen / unresponsive and the unit will perform the selected action.

After the device / outlet is considered frozen/unresponsive, if the unit begins to receive PING reponse from the device, it will consider the device’s status as “Normal” and continue to monitor the device as usual. If the unit receives partial response from the monitoring location, it will consider the outlet “Recovering.”

1. About Shutdown Scripts

This unit supports shut down scripts to safely shut down network devices.

(i) Shutdown Script Basics

1. Shutdown scripts are sent to target devices with the following conditions: Alive monitoring,

scheduling, and power control.

2. The unit connects to the IP address and the port of the target device by means of TELNET.

3. Upon execution of the script, the outlet is turned off when one of the following conditions are met:

- If ping monitoring is enabled: When target device no longer responds to ping sent at

customized intervals, or when countdown exceeds that of the value set to shutdown delay time.

- If ping monitoring is disabled: When countdown exceeds that of the value set to shutdown

delay time. (You may also customize shutdown conditions in the script)

(ii) Shutdown Script Configuration

To modify shutdown script settings, please confirm the settings as detailed in “Chapter 4 Configure / Control with a Web Browser”.

Connect to the unit via TELNET to make modifications in the following parameters.

IP Address: debOlShutdownAddr

Port Number: debOlShutdownPort

If the value is set to 0, the unit will use the default TELNET port, 23.

Script Numebr: debOlShutdownScript

Enable / Disable Script: debOlShutdownEnabled

Server Name (ID): debOlShutdownName

Password: debOlShutdownPassword

Ping Target: debOlShutdownPingAddr

Pings target device to check if it has shutdown properly.

Configure IP Address or Domain Name.

Ping Interval: debOlShutdownPingInterval

Page 78

strings

：

Enclose in quotation marks. “”

Express CR codes as ¥r, and LF code as ¥n.

A ¥ is ¥¥, and a “ is expressed as ¥”.

Control codes are expressed as ¥xnn and nn in 2-digit 16 base expressions.

(Maximum length is 63 bytes.)

timeout

：

Script timeout variable in seconds.

Max 1023 (sec) (script example is set to 600 seconds)

When the configured time passes, the script is

Ping Count: debOlShutdownPingCount

Ping Maximum Count: debOlShutdownPingMax

Power OFF Condition: debOlShutdownOffMax

(iii) Log

1) Makes and entry in the log regarding whether or not the script was successfully executed.

The values of the following parameters are saved:

debOlShudownExit and debOlShutdownMsg

(iv) Errors

When a connection cannot be established

During shutdown delay, the unit will retry at an interval of a few seconds.

If the connection still cannot be established, attempts to reconnect are ended with error code 254.

If the connection is terminated If an established connection is terminated, the process will end with error code 253.

(v) Text Specifications

1. Conditions

- Text must be within 2Kbytes.

- Maximum lines must be within 250.

- First line must be “telnet”

- You may add tabs and spaces before and between parameters.

- Functions may be written in lowercase or uppercase letters.
