- 27 -
Please view the example below for more details:
In the picture above:
5.) Power1 Ping function is enabled
6.) The 9258 DS will ping the web address www.sample.com
7.) If there is a response within the Ping Response Time the 9258 DS will send another ping signal the set Ping Time Interval which is 3 seconds for this example.
8.) If the 9258 DS does not receive a response from the device it will constitute a
Ping Failure .
9.) After 3 consecutive failure the device will go to the Action Delay section. In this case the device will delay for 3 seconds.
10.) When action delay has been reached the Action will be set off. Here we have set the 9258 DS to Reset the device.
11.) Once the device has been reset the 9258 will go into Startup Delay mode. In this case it is 3 seconds.
12.) After the startup delay mode has been reached the 9258 will check the Startup
Action whether to continue or stop pinging the device. Here we have it set to
Continue.
13.) Then the process starts all over.
