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 any valid IP address. Install and run the Device Management Utility: 1. Download DMUSetup.exe 2. Run DMUSetup.exe 3.
Other ways to set the IP Address 1. Automatically from a DHCP Server 2. Web Browser via the Set-up Page 3. CLI (Telnet & USB) 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. 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 normal power control (User) and one that also provides access to the setup functions (Admin). Default Credentials: Role Username (fixed) Password (user set) Administrator admin admin User user user Enter Username and Password Open your browser and enter the IP address of iBoot-G2 into the address bar.
To access the Setup page, the administrator credentials must be used for the initial login. When you are finished with iBoot, click on Logout. A confirmation page will be displayed. If another user is logged into the iBoot-G2, a In Use page will be displayed. iBoot-G2 uses an inactivity timer for security. This timeout is user selectable from 0 to 99 minutes. Setting to zero disables the timeout feature.
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 Device Name: 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: 0 to 999 seconds power cycle time.
7.3. AutoPing Introduction 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 not used 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.
Click Save to save the current settings. Click Clear to delete any current schedule. Note: All of the Schedule Settings require a reboot of the iBoot-G2, after clicking Save. A Reboot button will appear at the bottom of the page. The new settings will not take effect until the unit is rebooted. Reboot will not affect the power position of the iBootG2. Upon Clicking Reboot, the Googbye page is displayed with a link to re-login. Passwords Setup Page 7.6. Passwords Two passwords are used by iBoot.
8. 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 through the Telnet protocol and requires a Telnet client program. 8.1. To access the CLI Open the Telnet client and connect to the IP address set for the iBoot. Once the conection is made the User: login prompt is presented. Enter user or admin and press Enter.
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 Mask: Gateway: HTTP Port: Telnet Port: DxP Port: Timeout: set ipmode This command sets the ip address setting mode. Static mode locks the address as set, dhcp mode allows DHCP server to assign address.
