7.5. The Ping-No-Answer Alarm
The Ping-No-Answer Alarm is intended to provide notification when one of the IP
addresses defined via the Ping-No-Answer Reboot feature (described in Section 6.1)
fails to respond to a Ping command. When one of the user-defined IP addresses fails
to answer a Ping command, the VMR/NPS can provide notification via Email, Syslog
Message or SNMP Trap.
Notes:
• In order for the Ping-No-Answer Alarm to work properly, your network and/or
firewall, as well as the device at the target IP address, must be configured to
allow ping commands.
• In order for this alarm to function, IP Addresses for the Ping-No-Answer
reboot feature must first be defined as described in Section 6.1.
• When a Ping-No-Answer condition is detected, the VMR/NPS can still reboot
the user-selected outlet(s) as described in Section 6.1, and can also send an
email, Syslog Message and/or SNMP trap as described in this section.
• In order for the VMR/NPS to provide Email alarm notification, communication
parameters must first be defined as described in Section 5.9.11.
• In order for the VMR/NPS to provide Syslog Message notification, Syslog
parameters must first be defined and Syslog Messages must be enabled as
described in Section 5.9.2 and Section 11.
• In order for the VMR/NPS to provide SNMP Trap notification when this alarm
is triggered, SNMP parameters must first be defined, and SNMP Traps must
be enabled as described in Section 5.9.7 and Section 12.
