Description
IP WatchDog2 Lite
In a user-defined period, the IP WatchDog2 Lite detects the status of internet connection and LAN connected devices. IP WatchDog2 Lite monitors the availability of up to 10 devices and can reset one or two physical devices (two output channels). In case the internet connection or any monitored device stops responding the IP WatchDog2 Lite can restart up to two connected devices via its AC 50V/0,5A (DC 30V/1A) relay DO.
A restart of each output channel can be realized also manually from the main page (under password). A built-in web server is used for configuring.
Device Failure Detection – 4 + 1 Methods:
- Outgoing PING: IP WatchDog2 sends PING requests periodically.
- Incoming PING: IP WatchDog2 waits for a PING from the monitored device (heartbeat).
- WWW page request (Web client): IP WatchDog2 checks if a defined web page on the external device is accessible.
- WWW page (Web server): IP WatchDog2 waits for a request from the external device for its internal web page.(heartbeat).
- Manual reboot: A human operator can manually reboot the channel (output).
