1. General Description
The iBoot-Hub is a network attached, IP addressed, web controlled AC power switch. Anyone with a web
browser can access iBoot to perform power On, Off or Power Cycle (Reboot or Power Burst). iBoot is
password protected for security.
iBoot features international standard IEC320 connections and is compatible with power mains worldwide. Dual
Ethernet jacks with built-in 10/100 switch make installation of iBoot easy.
1.1. Uses for iBoot-Hub
Remote reboot of any device, routers,
servers, kiosks, etc. The device to be
rebooted need not be network attached.
Secure sensitive devices by keeping them
powered off when not in use. This
prevents hackers from seeing them at all
times.
Power down equipment when not needed
for power savings and to save on wear
and tear.
Power up alert devices like sirens, lamps,
messages; or control environmental
system like heaters, coolers pumps, etc.
1.2. Multiple Control Options
In addition to the Web control capabilities, iBoot features several other means to operate automatically or under
computer control.
Auto-Ping: The Auto-Ping feature allows iBoot to automatically detect failed equipment and perform a timed
reboot or other power control function (like turning on an indicator or siren). You set any IP address to be
periodically pinged. When iBoot no longer detects a response from the address, the programmed power control
function is actuated.
Heartbeat Monitor: Like the Auto-Ping in reverse, this feature uses a periodic message sent to the iBoot from a
device. When that message is not received, the iBoot will perform the programmed power control function.
iBoot Control Program: Dataprobe offers an application to simplify operation of the iBoot. The iBoot Control
Program operates one iBoot from a command line or window. It can be called by other programs to create an
automated reboot system.
Direct TCP Control: iBoot can be controlled directly via messages sent via TCP. This feature allows
programmers to add power control directly to their application and build automated scripts in any language to
operate iBoot.
