Order part: 1920034 Mounting Kit for iBoot-G2 G2 Series Remove all cables from the unit prior to installing or removing any mounting hardware. 1920033 Mounting Kit iBoot G2 Series Installing the Wall Mounting Kit DIN Rail Mounting 1. Remove the four mounting screws from the underside of the unit. 1. Install the Wall Mounting Kit as shown. Do not disassemble the unit.
5. Initial Configuration The Device Management Utility (DMU), available online at http://dataprobe.com/support/iboot.html, provides the easiest means to find and configure your iBoot-G2 for use. It can discover all the iBoots on your network, display the current IP address of each, and allow setting of a valid IP address. Install and run the Device Management Utility: 1. Download DMUSetup.exe 2. Run DMUSetup.exe 3.
5.1. Other ways to set the IP Address 1. Automatically from a DHCP Server 2. Web Browser via the Set-up Page 3. Command Line Interface (Telnet) iBoot-G2 comes with factory installed IP address 192.168.1.254. Setting the IP address from a DHCP Server A DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address (dynamic address) as well as Subnet Mask and Gateway to the iBoot-G2. If you reboot the iBoot-G2 with the IP Mode set for DHCP, the DHCP server will be able to assign an IP address.
6. Web Browser Operation 6.1. Password Protection iBoot-G2 uses two username/password credential sets, one for power control only (User) and one that also provides access to the setup functions (Admin). This configuration can be changed to require Administrator credentials at all times or allow unsecured User level control. See section 7.12.
6.3. Control and Status Page Once the user is validated, the Control and Status page is displayed. (Only one person can be connected to the iBoot-G2 at a time.). This page provides automatic updates every 1 second. To control the power, click on the appropriate button. During power cycling, the Power Status bar will indicate the temporary status, with a blue background. Once the cycle is complete, the status bar will revert to its original condition.
7. Web Setup iBoot-G2 setup section consists of several pages. Access any page via the buttons on the left of the page. Each time a setting is changed click on the Save button for that page to save the changes before moving to the next page. 7.1. Device Settings Location ID: Set a 20 Character name to be displayed on the top of the Home page. This assists in identifying which iBoot-G2 is being accessed. Cycle Time: 1 to 999 seconds power cycle time.
Linkback URL: This setting allows control of the hotlink displayed on the Goodbye page. It allows use of the public IP address or DNS name instead of the internal IP Address of the iBoot-G2, which is the default setting. If this setting is left blank, the hotlink will be the IP Address of the unit. Enter up to 128 characters. Telnet Port: This setting is used to allow access to the iBoot-G2 via telnet by ports other than standard 23.
7.3. AutoPing The AutoPing feature allows iBoot-G2 to automatically detect failed equipment and perform a timed reboot or other power control function (like turning on an indicator or siren). You set one or two IP addresses to be periodically pinged. When iBoot-G2 no longer detects a response from these addresses, the programmed power control function is actuated. The two addresses can be AND or OR linked so that both (AND) or either (OR) need to fail in order to take the selected action.
Action: Select from None AutoPing will not take any action upon Fail. Power On – Latch Upon triggering, iBoot-G2 will power on and remain so until changed via the web, telnet, DxP, etc. Power On – Follow Upon triggering, iBoot-G2 will power on. When the ping response returns, iBoot-G2 will power off. Power Off – Latch Upon triggering, iBoot-G2 will power off and remain so until changed via the web, telnet, DxP, etc. Power Off – Follow Upon triggering, iBoot-G2 will power off.
Repeat: Set the repeat multiplier, if desired. Set the number from 0 to 999 and either Days, Hours, or Minutes. To have the schedule repeat every two days, set this number to 2. Action: Set the event Action; On, Off or Cycle. Hold/Run: Click Hold to pause the scheduled event. Click Run to re-start the scheduled event. Delete: Delete the scheduled event. Click Save to save the current settings. Click Reset to delete any unwanted changes. 7.6.
8. iBoot Cloud Service – BETA iBoot Cloud Service (iBCS) allows customers with iBoot to access and control multiple iBoots in multiple locations from a single portal with a single sign-on. iBCS will not only make using iBoots easier, by consolidating all units into one sign-on and interface, it will also enhance the number of situations where iBoot can be deployed. Customers with Dynamic IP addressing will always be able to access their iBoot from any location.
Confirm Registration by clicking on the link provided in the email. b. Insure Proper iBoot-G2 Firmware iBoot Cloud Service requires version iBoot-G2 Firmware version 1.21.99 or greater. Check the bottom of any web page of the iBoot for the firmware version. If needed, download and install the proper iBoot Firmware from http://dataprobe.com/support_iboot-g2.html and install as instructed in Section 11 c.
f. Control Power from the Cloud The status screen will detail all the iBoots registered with the cloud. You can add locations and group iBoots by location. Each iBoot displays the power status and AutoPing if configured. Click on the box that holds the Activation Code for the device you just entered. A modal box will appear with options to rename the device, move the device to a defined location or delete the device. Give the device a name, and Click Rename Device.
9. Command Line Interface The iBoot-G2 Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a text based method for communicating with the iBoot. The syntax of the CLI uses a basic Set (change a variable) and Get (retrieve a variable). The CLI is accessed either through the Telnet protocol, which requires a Telnet client program, or via USB which requires a serial communications program like Hyperterminal. Dataprobe also provides a simple terminal program (EZ Term) at http://dataprobe.com/support/iboot.html. 9.1.
Network Commands All set commands require a reboot before they take effect. These commands are only available to the administrator. get network This command will return all the network settings as shown below: Mode: IP Address: Subnet: Gateway: HTTP Port: Linkback URL: Telnet Port: DxP Port: Timeout: Static 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.7 80 192.168.1.254:8080 23 9100 20 set ipmode This command sets the ip address setting mode.
