2.General Description

The iBoot-DC is a network attached, IP addressed, web controlled AC power switch. Anyone with a web

browser can access iBoot-DC to perform power On, Off or Power Cycle (Reboot or Power Burst).

iBoot-DC uses two levels of password for security.

iBoot-DC features international standard IEC320 connections and is compatible with power mains

worldwide. A simple Web browser interface makes it easy to control power from anywhere in the world

with a click of a mouse. iBoot-DC also supports Telnet for text commands, as well as Dataprobe’s

Exchange Protocol (DxP) for interfacing to a variety of Dataprobe products and custom software

development.

2.1. Uses for iBoot

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.

2.2. Multiple Control Options

In addition to the Web control capabilities, iBoot-DC features several other means to operate automatically

or under computer control.

URL Control: You can send a single URL to the iBoot-DC containing all the information necessary to

query or change the power status. This makes it easy to create a single button on your desktop or embed

into a batch file or script.

AutoPing: The AutoPing feature allows iBoot-DC to automatically detect failed equipment and perform a

timed reboot or other power control function (like turning on an indicator or siren). You set 1 or 2 IP

addresses to be periodically pinged. When iBoot-DC no longer detects a response from the address(es),

the programmed power control function is actuated.

Telnet: iBoot’s Command Line Interface (CLI) allows direct control and setup through Telnet.

Dataprobe Exchange Protocol (DxP): Use this status and control protocol to build custom applications to

manage iBoot, or use our available utility program to build batch files or command line routines. Download

3.Hardware Installation

3.1. Ethernet Connections

iBoot-DC supports 10/100 Ethernet using the cable supplied, or other

suitable unshielded twisted pair (Cat 5) cabling. Activity (green) and

100Mb (amber) LEDs on the network connector indicate when the

network connection is properly established and when the connection

is 100 Mbit/s.

3.2. DC Power Connections

iBoot-DC uses screw terminal connections for the DC input and

switched output connections. The screw terminals can be removed to facilitate connection and cable

fabrication.

Maximum Operating Current

5.0 to 29.9 VDC

12 Amps

30.0 to 48.0 VDC

2 Amps

The Positive lead is switched. When ON, the power will be at the NO connection. When OFF, the power

will be at the NC connection.

The chassis ground is optional and not switched.

An LED Indicator market Output will be on when the power to the NO connection is On.

4. Initial Configuration

4.1. Auto-Configuration

If your network supports Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol (DHCP), the iBoot will be automatically

assigned an IP Address and be ready to use. You

can discover the IP Address through your

Server/Router, or use Dataprobe’s Device

Management Utility (DMU).

4.2. Device Management Utility

The DMU is available online at

dataprobe.com/support-iboot-dc/, provides the

easiest means to find and configure your iBoot-DC

for use. It can:

Discover all the iBoots on your network,

Display the current IP address of each

Allow setting of an IP address

Reset to Factory Defaults

Upgrade the Firmware of the iBoot-DC

Obtain and use the DMU:

1. Download the latest version of the DMU at

dataprobe.com/support-iboot-dc/

2. Run DMUSetup.exe

3. Run the DMU

Note: The IP address can only be set within the first

two minutes of powering up the iBoot-DC or pressing

the reset button (see Section 11). The Setup Utility

will only work with iBoots on the same physical

subnet as the PC.

Once the DMU is run, click on Device | Discover to

display all the iBoots on your network. The DMU will

display the Location Name of the iBoot, The product

ID and Version Number, the current IP Address, and

the MAC Address. Factory defaulted iBoots will

display with the name iBoot-DC-xxxx where the

xxxx are the last 4 segments of the MAC address,

and have the factory default IP address of

192.168.1.254, or as set by DHCP.

The IP address field also indicates the port for web

access that is used by the iBoot. The standard port

for web browser control is factory default Port 80.

DMU Discovers Dataprobe Devices

IP Address Successfully Set

iboot-dc_v181024e iBoot-DC Page 7

Change the IP Address

1. Click on the row containing the iBoot-DC to be set. The row will become highlighted.

2. From the menu select Set | Network Settings

3. Select the IP Mode DHCP if you want the network to assign parameters

4. Select the IP Mode Static if you want to define all network parameters manually.

5. Click OK when done.

Once the IP Address is set, other all other operational features of the iBoot-DC can be set up. Click on

Discover again to refresh the display, highlight the desired iBoot-DC and click on Manage | Launch

Browser. See Section 6 to configure the iBoot.

The DMU can also be used to return an iBoot-DC to its Factory Default condition. This can be used to

recover an iBoot-DC with a lost password. Highlight an iBoot-DC from the display and select Set | Factory

Defaults. Using the Utility to reset defaults will not change the network settings allowing you to re-access

the unit. You can also use Set | Admin Password to reset only the admin password parameter back to

default. These reset options must be done within the first two minutes of powering up the iBoot or pressing

the reset button.

4.3. Other ways to set the IP Address

1. Web Browser via the Set-up Page –See Section 6.2

2. Command Line Interface See Section 8

iboot-dc_v181024e iBoot-DC Page 8

5.Web Browser Operation

5.1. Password Protection

iBoot-DC uses two username/password credential sets, one for power

control only (User) and one that also provides access to the setup

functions (Admin). This configuration can be changed to require

Administrator credentials at all times or allow unsecured User level

control. See section 6.8.

Default Credentials:

Role

Username (fixed)

Password (settable)

Administrator

admin

User

user

Open your browser and enter the IP address of iBoot-DC into the address bar. If you have changed the IP

address by any of the methods described or used DHCP, enter that address, otherwise, use the default IP

address 192.168.1.254

Enter the username and password when prompted. When the proper username/password is received the

Control and Status Page is displayed.

iBoot-DC uses an inactivity timer for security. This timeout is user selectable from 0 to 99 minutes.

Setting to zero disables the timeout feature. When there is no activity for the set time in minutes, the user

is automatically logged out and the username and password will need to be entered again for access. This

is to prevent accidental lockout by leaving the user logged in.

As the iBoot-DC 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 iBoot-DC via Telnet and reboot the unit, or press the reset button (see Section 11).

5.2. Mobile Browser Support

iBoot uses adaptive web pages to accommodate desktops, tablets

and smartphones. No additional apps are needed to access the

complete features.

Enter Username and Password

iboot-dc_v181024e iBoot-DC Page 9

5.3. Control and Status Page

Once the user is validated, the Control and

Status page is displayed. (Only one person

can be connected to the iBoot-DC at a time.).

This page provides automatic updates every

5 seconds.

To control the power, click on the appropriate

button. During power cycling, the Power

Status bar will indicate the temporary status,

with a blue background. Once the cycle is

complete, the status bar will revert to its

original condition. To abort a power cycle,

click on either Power On or Power Off

buttons.

If the AutoPing feature is in use, the page will

also display the current status, OK or Failed,

for each AutoPing in use, with a counter of

how many times action was triggered. If

connecting with the Admin credentials, reset

buttons for the Trigger counter is provided.

If the iBoot-DC is connected to a time server (see Section 6.3), The Home page will also show the five

most recent history events, including the Outlet, Action, User and Time/Date of each event. The iBoot-DC

holds the last 32 events in memory. The user can access a complete history webpage, download the

history in a .csv file, or clear the history.

Navigation Menu:

Refresh: Use the Refresh button to obtain the latest status of iBoot. Using your browser's refresh button

can lead to inadvertent power switching. If an NTP server is being used, the time of the last refresh will be

shown in the upper right corner.

Logout: When you are finished with iBoot, click on

Logout. A Goodbye page will be displayed. This

page has a URL link to re-connect with the iBoot.

The linkback URL is user settable. If no linkback is

set, the hyperlink will be the unit’s IP Address.

Setup: To access the Setup page, the administrator

credentials are required. When logged in as User, the challenge for Administrator credentials will be

displayed.

iboot-dc_v181024e iBoot-DC Page 10

5.4. URL Control

iBoot-DC can be controlled directly by sending a completely formed URL through a browser window or

HTTP command. The URL syntax for control is:

http://<address>?s=<status>&t=<time>&u=<user>&p=<password>

Where:

<address> =

the IP Address of the device, or DNS name that resolves to the IP Address,

Including any HTTP Port if not standard 80

<status> =

The status to change the outlet to:

0 = Off

1 = On

2 = Query only, no outlet change

<time> =

The amount of time to cycle

<user> =

user or admin depending on password used

<password> =

password associated with user

Syntax notes:

The order of the variables is not significant.

The user and password are not required when Auto-Login feature is enabled

(see Section 6.8 for security options.)

Examples:

http://192.168.1.254?s=1&u=user&p=user Turn the outlet on for the default user.

http://192.168.1.254?s=0&t=5 Reboot for 5 seconds with Auto-Login

http://192.168.1.254:8080?s=2&u=admin&p=admin Return status using http port 8080
