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. This name is used for LLMNR. see Local Link Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR) section 7.15. The name is also transmitted to the cloud on registration to a cloud account. see iBoot Cloud Service section 8.
Delay Time: 0 to 999 seconds delay time. When powering up multiple devices, a delay can be set between each outlet.
Outlet Name: Set an independant 20 character name to be displayed for each of the Main, Exp1 and Exp2 Outlets.
Cycle Time: 0 to 999 seconds power cycle time. This is the length of time the power will be off during a reboot, or on during a power burst. Unique cycle times can be set for Main, Exp1 and Exp2.
Initial State: Each outlet can be set to the state it will assume when the iBoot-G2+ is powered up or reset. The choices are: On, Off and Last, meaning the state it was in when the power was removed or reset commenced.
Upgrade Enable: Check this box to allow remote firmware upgrades of the iBoot-G2+. When this box is unchecked, firmware upgrades will not be allowed. When checked, upgrade must occur within 2 minutes of power up or after a reboot is complete.
Auto Logout: This setting sets the automatic logout for inactivity on both the web and telnet users. It can be set from 0 to 99 minutes. 0 disables the Auto Logout feature.
As the iBoot-G2+ allows only one Web user logged in at any time, use caution when disabling the timeout feature, as it is possible to lock out other users by forgetting to logout. Closing the browser will not log the user out and will lock out web access. If you do become locked out, access the iBootG2+ via Telnet and reboot the unit, or press the reset button.

7.2. Expansion Settings
Mode: The iBoot-G2+ has three modes of operation for the expansion, each with its own set of settings. iBoot Expansion Units: For use with the iBoot-EXP expansion units. Independent I/O: Inputs and outputs are used as status and control not associated with power outlets. Power Control: For use with external switches to provide manual power control.
Features are dependent on which mode is selected

V210312W

iBoot-G2+ / iBoot-G2S

Page 15

iBoot Expansion Units
This mode is default and is used with the iBoot-EXP devices. The Main page will show status and allow control for the Main, Exp1 and Exp2 outlets.
Hide from Status and Control: Independantly hide the status of Exp1 and Exp2 from the Main Status and Contol webpage. Checking the box to hide the status is available as an option should you not be using the expansion capabilities of the iBoot-G2+ device. Hiding the status does not prevent the function of Expansion units should they be attached. this allows for linked outlets to be hidden, but still function.
Link to Main: Checking the box for Link to Main will independently make the status of the Expansion unit be identical to the Main outlet of iBoot-G2+. This is convenient if switching both power supplies of dual redundant powered devices. The delay time will apply.
Independent I/O
This mode will display the input and output status for Exp1 and Exp2 on the status and control page. The open collector design of the output connectors can be used to control non-Dataprobe devices, or connected to a Dataprobe external relay module to allow relay control of those devices. The input status can also be used to contol Dataprobe devices that support DxP protocol. Allowing a switch connected to the Exp connector to control a remote Power Outlet or relay on any DxP controlled device.
Hide from Status and Control: Independantly hide the status of Exp1 and Exp2 from the Main Status and Contol webpage. Checking the box to hide the status is available as an option should you not be using the expansion capabilities of the iBoot-G2+ device. Hiding the status does not prevent the function of I/O should connections be attached or programmed.
To allow the inputs of Exp1 and Exp2 to control additional devices via DxP Protocol, enter the IP address, relay number, user name and password for the device to be controlled.
See Expansion Connections section 4.3 for details on the Exp connectors and the open collector output.

Power Control
In this mode, each of the two inputs is independently set. Select the target outlet, Main, Exp1 or Exp2 and the action desired with the input is Closed. The choices for action are:

On

Turn the power On

Off

Turn the power Off

Cycle Change the power for the Cycle

Time setting

Toggle Change the state of the power.

From Off to On or On to Off,

depending on current state.

Hide from Status and Control: Independantly hide the status of Exp1 and Exp2 from the Main Status and Contol webpage. Checking the box to hide the status is available as an option should you not be using the expansion capabilities of the iBoot-G2+ device. Since the Power Control mode only uses the inputs of the Exp connectors, the iBoot-EXP expansion outlets could still be connected and controled. Hiding the status does not prevent the function of inputs or outputs should connections be attached or programmed.

The power is controlled when the input is connected to ground. This makes momentary switches preferred for power control. Leaving a connection closed when using Cycle or Toggle controls will not affect the function of the outlet or harm the device, but it will require you to open the switch and re-close for the next power control event. When programmed to use On or Off controls, holding the input to ground will lock the power in the selected position allowing for manual override of all other control options. So a non-momentary switch may be desirable if locking the outlet status is what is required. When on outlet is Locked by the input, the status and control will display a lock icon next to the outlet.

By using both inputs, one set for On and the other for Off, you can use a three position switch to create a wired Remote On – Off switch. Allowing local control as well as the remote network control methods.

7.4. Advanced Network Settings
HTTP Port: This setting is used to allow access to iBoot-G2+ on a port other than the Web standard Port 80. If the port is changed, you will need to identify the protocol and port number when you enter iBoot’s IP address into your browser. If the new port is 8080 then use the URL would be http://192.168.1.254:8080.
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.
Note: You should not include the http:// part of the URL. If you set any HTTP Port other than Web standard 80, you must append to the URL. examples:[ myiboot.com ][ myiboot.com:8080 ] Telnet Port: This setting is used to allow access to the iBoot-G2+ via telnet by ports other than standard 23.
DxP Port: This setting is used to allow access to the iBoot-G2+ via Dataprobe Exchange Protocol (DxP) using ports other than standard 9100. see DxP Protocol section 10.
Enable DxP Control: This setting enables external devices to control the iBoot-G2+ via DxP protocol.
Enable DxP Query: This setting enables external devices to query the status of the iBoot-G2+ via DxP protocol.
Enable Cloud Services: This setting enables the iBoot-G2+ for iBoot Cloud Services (iBCS). iBCS allows the iBoot to be monitored and controlled through a web portal from any browser. It allows multiple iBoots to be managed from a single portal without the need for port redirection or a staic public ip address. For a complete description of iBCS and setup instructions, see iBoot Cloud Service section 8.
Note: All of the TCP/IP Settings require a reboot of the iBoot-G2+. After clicking Save, a Reboot button will appear next to the Reset and Save buttons near the top of the page. The new settings will not take effect until the unit is rebooted. Reboot will not affect the power position of the iBoot-G2+. Upon Clicking Reboot, the goodbye page is displayed with a link to re-login.

7.5. Graceful Shutdown
The iBoot-G2+ is capable of attempting a graceful shutdown of Windows based PCs and servers (XP and later) prior to performing a hard reboot or power down. Activate and control the performance of this feature on this page. Use of graceful shutdown requires installation of the iBoot Utility, which can be found at dataprobe.com/support-iboot-g2-plus.
Graceful Shutdown affects all modes of control of the iBoot-G2+, including the manual switches, when the expansion ports are used in Power Control mode.
For each of the three controllable outlets set;
Enabled or Disabled Checked is enabled.
IP Address. Enter the IP Address of the target system. (PC running the iBoot Utilty)
Username and Password. Enter a username and password exactly as they were entered in the iBoot Utility on the target system.
Hard Shutdown Delay. When selecting Off from any control method, this is the time, in seconds for the iBoot-G2+ to wait for the graceful shutdown to be successful and complete. After this time, successful or not, the iBoot-G2+ will power down the selected outlet.
Hard Reboot Delay. When an outlet is On, and you select cycle from any control method, this is the time, in seconds for the iBoot to wait for a graceful reboot to successfully complete. If the graceful reboot is successful within this time, the iBoot Utility will start on the target PC, and inform the iBoot-G2+ that the reboot completed successfully. This message will cause the iBoot to NOT perform a hard reboot of the selected outlet. If the iBoot-G2+ does not recieve the successful reboot message from the iBoot Utilty, the iBoot-G2+ WILL perform a hard power cycle of the outlet. (Using the cycle time as programmed in the Device section)
7.6. 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 can program up to four IP addresses to be periodically pinged. When iBoot-G2+ no longer detects a response from these addresses, the programmed power control function is actuated.
Three separate AutoPing functions are provided and act independently of each other. AutoPing 1 can use two Addresses, which can be AND or OR linked so that both (AND) or either (OR) need to fail in order to take the selected action.
AutoPing 2 and AutoPing 3 are independent single address functions.

V210312W

iBoot-G2+ / iBoot-G2S

Page 20

Examples:
Use AutoPing as server monitor: iBoot-G2+ is installed with the device it monitors and automatically reboots if there is no response. Ideal for: Kiosks & Servers
Use Auto-Ping as service monitor: iBoot-G2+ is installed with the device to be rebooted, but pings a remote host to test the communication channel. Ideal for: DSL & Cable Modem Verification
iBoot-G2+ monitors network device and powers up alarm or redundant system when there is no response Ideal for: Hot Standby Servers, Environmental Control, Alert for any Network Failure
iBoot-G2+ supports three independent AutoPing channels, each controlling either the Main power, or either of the two Expansion ports. The first AutoPing channel can be programmed with two separate IP Addresses with logical AND / OR comparisons to determine the final action.

7.7. AutoPing Settings
Address: Enter the address of the device to be pinged. This can be a Domain name or an IP Address
Ping Frequency: Enter 1 to 999 seconds. The ping will go out to the selected device this often.
Fail Count: Enter 1-999 times the ping needs to fail consecutively before the selected action is taken. When the fail count has been reached, the AutoPing action will be triggered.
Mode: (AutoPing 1 only) Select from A Only, A And B, A Or B. With And, both AutoPings need to exceed their fail count to trigger the Action. With Or, the Action will be triggered if either AutoPing fails.
Control: Select Main for the internal power outlet, or Exp1, Exp2 for either of the two expansion ports.

Action: Select from None On ­ Latch

Upon triggering, iBoot-G2+ will cycle the power. If Power Cycle does not result in the ping response the iBoot-G2+ can cycle again. The number of times the iBoot-G2+ will cycle is set by the Times setting. To have the iBoot cycle power 3 times to get the system to respond again, set the Times to 3.

V210312W

iBoot-G2+ / iBoot-G2S

Page 21

Restart: After autoping Fails, and an action occurs, the restart time is the length of time the iBoot-G2+ will wait before restarting to ping again.
With AutoPing operational, the main iBoot-G2+ page will display the current status of this feature. The status will be OK to indicate that iBoot-G2+ is receiving responses to the ping, or that the fail counter has not yet been exceeded.
If the fail count has been exceeded, the status will change to FAIL. The Trigger Counter indicates the number of times the AutoPing action has been triggered. A counter reset button is provided.

7.8. Heartbeat
Like AutoPing, the Heartbeat monitor allows iBoot-G2+ to automatically detect failures in critical devices. With the Heartbeat monitor enabled, iBoot-G2+ will expect a message, either from the USB port or network at regular intervals.

When it misses a user defined number of intervals, it will perform its programmed action.

Use the heartbeat to insure that you server is running. When the server crashes, it will be automatically rebooted.

The heartbeat can be generated in any of several ways;

Using the iBoot Utility. A Windows .dll file is also available for
use by Windows applications. The Heartbeat Protocol will allow
developers to imbed this capability directly into their software products.

Heartbeat

All of the above are available at dataprobe.com/support-iboot-g2-plus

7.13. Passwords / User Settings
The iBoot-G2+ supports three modes of user and password operation.

Login Required: This mode supports both User and Admin users. Each user has a settable password.

Auto Login: This mode does not require a username or password for the User level operation. No login challenge will be required for any mode of operation, until any setup function is requested. The Admin username and password is required for any admin functions.

User Disabled: There is no User account. The Admin username and password will be required for operation and setup functions across all modes of operation. This is the factory default mode.

Two passwords are used by iBoot. In the Login Required mode, The User Password allows access to the control of iBoot, but not to the Setup functions. Clicking on the Setup button allows the Administrator to log in. Passwords can be up to 20 characters long and are case sensitive.

Enter the current password then the new password twice to confirm.
Default Credentials

Role Administrator User

Username (fixed) admin user

Password (user set) adminxxxxxx userxxxxxx

*The passwords are unique and based on the MAC address of the unit. (the xxxxxx are the last 3 segments) The MAC address can be found on a sticker on the bottom of the unit. Typical 00-0D-AD-XX-XX-XX. Example: If your MAC address is 00-0d-ad-aa-bb-cc then the admin password is adminaabbcc and the user password is useraabbcc.

7.15. Local Link Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR)
The Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR) is a protocol based on the Domain Name System (DNS) packet format that allows hosts to perform name resolution on the same local link.
On most networks you will be able to access the iBoot-G2+ by its device name when on the local network.
By default the name is iBoot-G2-xxxx where the xxxx is the last 4 segments of the MAC address for your iBootG2. When you reprogram the name of the device, a reboot is required to apply the new name as the LLMNR for the device.
The LLMNR name does not allow spaces. If using the LLMNR feature to access the iBoot-G2, do not use a space in the name. When accessing the device type the complete URL including the http:// if you need to avoid searching the internet for the name. ( http://iBoot-G2-xxxx )
When the Location ID is changed the device will require a reboot to re- register the new name to your networks llmnr server. This means access using http://iboot-g2p-fa80 should work, or a renamed myiboot would be accessible as http://myiboot . To make use of llmnr, you must choose a name with no space or special caracters. ( dashes are allowed )

Command Line Interface The iBoot-G2+ Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a text based method for communicating with the iBoot-G2+. The syntax of the CLI uses 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. Windows 10 does not include a pre-installed telnet or serial client. You must enable them within Windows, or use available alternate programs.
Dataprobe has developed a free telnet and serial utility called EZ Terminal. Download is available here: dataprobe.com/support/shared/ezterm.exe
8.2. CLI Access
Via Telnet
Open your Telnet client and connect to the IP address set for the iBoot-G2+.
Via USB
Open the console client and connect to the COM port assigned to the iBoot-G2+. The communications parameters are: 9600bps. 8 data bits. No parity. 1 Stop bit. No Flow Control. Once the connection is made, send Enter.
The CLI uses the same security options as the web browser. See Passwords/User Settings section 7.13 for an explanation of the options for user setup and security.
After the connection is successful, the User> prompt is displayed. Enter the username: user or admin and press Enter. The prompt will change to Password>. Enter the user or admin password and press Enter. The prompt will change to iBoot>. This indicates successful login. Enter commands as needed. (see available list iBoot-G2+ CLI Syntax section 9.2 below. When done, enter the logout command.
Note: The telnet session will auto-disconnect if there is no activity. The maximum auto-disconnect time is 8 minutes. If the Auto-Logout setting is shorter than 8 minutes, that setting will apply. To avoid this and use a longer auto-disconnect time, use a telnet client that periodically sends a No Operation (NOP) command, like Dtelnet.
