Configuration
Setup & Control Utility
An iBootBar Setup and Control Utility (SCU) utility provides the easiest means to find and configure your
iBootBar for use. The SCU can:
1. Automatically discover multiple iBootBars on a local network
2. Adding additional iBootBars, not on the local network
3. Download existing configurations from installed iBootBars
4. Save existing configurations for later use or as backup
5. Open saved configurations for change management
6. Clone saved configurations for replication of similar configurations in multiple iBootBars
7. Upload modified configurations to iBootBars
8. Control Power Outlets on one or more iBootBars throughout the network
The iBootBar Setup and Control utility is available on the iBootBar CD or download it from
http://dataprobe.com/ibootbartools.html
iBootBar Setup and Control Utility

iBootBar Page 8
ibootbar_v1.2x
Command Line Interface
All configuration parameters are set using the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is accessed through the network,
using a telnet client, or through the serial port, or data modem using a terminal client.
Open a telnet client and point it to the current IP Address. (Factory Default is 192.168.0.254)
Connect to the Serial port or via dial modem (-M versions) (Factory Default is 115200,8,n,1)
Upon connection, press Enter, then enter the username and password when prompted
(Factory Default for both is admin)
A complete list of commands and syntax is found on page 12 through 16.
Setting the IP Address
iBootBar comes with factory installed IP address 192.168.0.254
There are three techniques to setting the IP address of the iBootBar.
1. Terminal Client software via Telnet, Serial, Modem.
2. Automatically from a DHCP Server
3. ARP / Ping
To configure the mode to set the IP address, access the iBootBar command line interface (CLI) and use the set ipmode
command as indicated below.
Setting the IP address using CLI
The following commands are used to set the IP parameters
set ipaddress <dotted decimal> ex. 192.168.0.125
set subnet <dotted decimal> ex. 255.255.255.0
set gateway <dotted decimal> ex. 192.168.0.2
If you wish to prevent DHCP or ARP-Ping from altering the IP Address, also enter the following command
set ipmode static
Changing any of these values will require a reboot of the unit. Type the command “reboot” as indicated, press the reset
pushbutton on the front panel, or remove and restore all power to the iBootBar.
Setting the IP address from a DHCP Server
A DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address (dynamic address) as well as Subnet Mask and Gateway to the
iBoot.
To enable this feature, configure the iBootBar with the command set ipmode dhcp
Then power cycle the iBootBar, or enter the command reboot
To find the address of the iBootBar you will need to query your DHCP server and locate the MAC address of the iBootBar
in the DHCP server’s IP / MAC table. You can also access the CLI and use the get network command.
Setting the IP address using ARP / Ping
The ARP / Ping technique uses a PC running a command line (DOS Window) to set the IP Address. To set the IP address
using ARP, connect the iBootBar to your local network and apply power. The IP address to be assigned to iBootBar must
be use the same network segment as the computer assigning the address. ARP does not work across routed or switched
networks.

iBootBar Page 9
ibootbar_v1.2x
To set the IP address using ARP, the hardware (MAC) address must be known. This address is located on the bottom of
the unit. The syntax for the MAC address is: nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn
Windows (98 and Later)
1. Access the iBootBar CLI and enter the set ipmode arp-ping command
2. On a PC, open a DOS window. (Run: Command)
3. Type the following command:
arp -s <IP Address> <MAC Address>
Where <IP Address> is the desired IP address (in dotted decimal) for the iBootBar and the <MAC address> is the
MAC Address of the iBootBar. The MAC Address of the iBootBar is located on the rear of the unit.
Example: arp -s 63.211.86.165 00-50-c2-05-01-c1 <enter>
|new IP addr| |---MAC addr----|
4. Ping the iBootBar to program the IP address into the iBootBar.
Type: ping <IP Address>
Note: If the ping command returns “host not responding” 4 times then the address has not been programmed
properly. Check the IP or MAC Address for typographical errors. Repeat step 2. If the problem persists,
contact the Dataprobe Tech Support.
5. Delete the entry from the ARP cache by typing:
arp -d <IP Address>
6. Ping the iBootBar to confirm that it has been programmed.
If the iBootBar fails to respond, repeat steps 2-4 above. If the problem persists, contact Dataprobe Tech Support.
Unix, Linux, MAC and others
Consult your systems administrator for information on how to set an IP Address. The unit should be pinged after the IP
Address has been set to confirm proper operation.
Other Configuration Settings
All parameters are set using the CLI. See Page 12 for a complete list.

Basic Operation
Web Interface
The iBootBar web interface provides the easiest means of operating the outlets and monitoring the current status of the
units. One or more outlets can be simultaneously controlled with simple mouse clicks. The interface is divided into three
sections Header, Control, and Status
Header The Header identifies the iBootBar currently being addressed. It displays the Device Name assigned to it in setup.
Two buttons on the Header allow control of the iBootBar either by individual outlets, or by user assigned groups.
Status The Status panel displays the current state of each outlet, and provides a checkbox for each outlet to allow for
selection for the next outlet change activity. The bottom of the Status panel shows the current draw of the A/C inputs. In
iBootBars with dual inputs, the current draw will be displayed separately for outlets 1 –4 (Main A) and 5-8 (Main B).If
AutoPing is being used, the current status of AutoPing is displayed. Click on the AutoPing status message for more
details.

iBootBar Page 11
ibootbar_v1.2x
Control The Control panel provides the clickable buttons to cause a change of outlet condition. Once one or more outlets
are selected, click on the On, Off, or Cycle button. Cycle will perform a timed change in outlet state (either Reboot for On-
Off-On, or Cycle Off-On-Off) depending on the current state of the outlet.
The Cycle timer box allows selection of the length, in seconds of all cycle or reboot operations. Entries of 1 to 99 seconds
are valid.
The Delay timer box allows selection of the delay between turning on of each outlet whenever more than one outlet is
turned on at the same time. This can be used to prevent over-current draw on initial power up of devices. Entries of 0 to 99
seconds are valid.
The Select All and Select None buttons allow selection or de-selection of all outlets.
Refresh provides an update of the status page to display current outlet conditions.
Logout terminates the session.
Web Operation
To operate any outlet, select it with the checkbox associated with that outlet and then click the On, Off, or Cycle button as
required. The page will reload with the current status. If multiple outlets are selected, the page will refresh several times
until all outlets have completed their operation.
User Privileges
Each user can be assigned one or more outlets and groups of outlets to manage. The Web interface will only display
those outlets that the user has been authorized for.
Grouping Outlets
Outlets can be grouped into logical arrangements to provide simultaneous management. Two outlets can be grouped
together to provide control of a single server with dual redundant power supplies. When powering on multiple outlets in a
group, there will be a delay between outlets, based on the Delay Time setting. This prevents unwanted current draw. If no
delay is desired set the Delay Time to 0.

iBootBar Page 12
ibootbar_v1.2x
Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface follows a set/get syntax similar to SNMP.
iBBar configuration can be performed from the CLI or by using the Control and Setup Utility ( CSU.exe).The CLI can be
accessed via Telnet Client, Serial Port and Dial-up Modem, using a Terminal client. Below is a listing of all interface
commands and syntax.

ibootbar_v1.2x
Advanced Operations
DTMF Control
Models with an internal modem <-M suffix> can be controlled from dial up connections using handset dialing tones (touch
tones).Use of DTMF control requires a unique PIN number set for each user. This PIN is set using the command line
interface and must be 4 to 10 digits long. Program a PIN code of 0 to disable a users ability to use DTMF control.
DTMF Call Sequence:
1. Dial the phone number connected to the iBootBar. Upon connection a prompt tone will be heard.
2. Enter the PIN followed by the # key. Upon successful entry, a ready tone will be heard. If no PIN or incorrect PIN
is received, an error tone and new prompt tone will be issued. After three unsuccessful attempts, the iBootBar will
hang up.
3. At the ready tone, enter an outlet number 1-8. The current status of that outlet will be stated in English: i.e. “one
on” or “six off”.
4. The # key is used to change the state of the outlet. The * key is used to reboot (or power cycle) the outlet for the
time configured with the CLI command cycle time. The new status of the outlet is stated. If the * key is used, the
iBootBar will also state ‘begin’ to indicate the reboot or cycle has begun.
5. A new prompt tone will indicate that new commands can be entered. While a reboot is in progress, additional
outlets can be addressed and commanded.
6. The caller can hang up at any time to disconnect the call. Any reboots in progress will finish their cycle time as
programmed.
NOTE: Not issuing a command for 5 seconds will cause the iBootBar to hang up.
Notes:
1. The only outlets that a caller has access to are determined by the CLI command set user outlet.
2. While prompts and voice responses are being played, the iBootBar will not process DTMF tones. Wait for the
status and prompts to complete before issuing new commands
3. Address an outlet with a number command before entering a control command (# or *) if unsure which outlet is
being addressed, send the outlet number again.
4. Factory Default user admin has default PIN 23646. Change to desired PIN if maintaining this account. Resetting
to factory defaults will restore this user and PIN.
Timed Events
The iBootBar provides the ability to turn On, Off or Cycle outlets based on time and date. Each individual outlet or group
can be set to operate a selected command at a specific time and date. The Timed Events are programmed thru the
Control &Setup Utility or the CLI interface

AutoPing
The AutoPing feature allows iBootBar 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 iBootBar no
longer detects a response from the address, the programmed power control function is actuated.
Up to eight IP addresses can be monitored by AutoPing. Each AutoPing monitor is assigned to an outlet.
Ping Address Enter the IP address of the device to be pinged.
Ping Frequency Enter 1 to 999 seconds. The ping will go out to the selected device this often.
Fail Counter Enter 1-99 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.
Action: Select from
None AutoPing not used
On –Latch Upon triggering, iBootBar will power on the assigned outlet and remain so until
changed via the web or telnet/serial interface.
On –Follow Upon triggering, iBootBar will power on the assigned outlet. When the ping
response returns, iBootBar will power the off the outlet
Off –Latch Upon triggering, iBootBar will power off the assigned outlet and remain so until
changed via the web or telnet/serial interface.
Off –Follow Upon triggering, iBootBar will power off the assigned outlet. When the ping
response returns, iBootBar will power the outlet on.
Cycle Upon triggering, iBootBar will cycle the power to the assigned outlet. iBootBar
will wait the Ping Frequency x Fail Count; if the response does not return, the
power will be recycled again. This will continue until the ping response returns
or AutoPing is turned off. Make sure your AutoPing frequency x Fail Count is
longer than the time required to reboot your device.
Cycle Once Upon triggering, iBootBar will cycle power one time. It will not cycle again
automatically until the ping response returns and is lost again.
With AutoPing operational, the iBootBar page will display the current status of this feature. The status will be OK to
indicate that iBootBar is receiving responses to the ping, or that the fail counter has not yet been exceeded. Click on the
Status message to see greater details on the AutoPing status.
If the fail count has been exceeded, the status will change to Triggered. Click on the Status message to see greater details
on the AutoPing status.
SSL
The iBootBar can provide Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption on the web interface. Enable this feature using the set
web ssl yes command from the Telnet / Serial interface.
Certificate Upload Utility
The Certificate Upload Utility (CUU.exe) is designed to create and distribute Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificates to
iBootBars and the PCs that communicate them. Although the iBootBar comes from the factory with a certificate installed,
this certificate common name is Dataprobe iBB, and will generate a warning message when connecting to the iBootBar
when using SSL. For most customers, this error message can be easily ignored and secure connection to the iBootBar
continues. For customers with special circumstances, the CUU was designed to facilitate creation
and distribution of SSL Certificates tailored to a specific iBootBar, eliminating the error message entirely.
The CUU is available on the ibootbar CD or from the Dataprobe website:http://Dataprobe.com/ibootbartools.html

Email Notification
Email can be automatically sent for outlet changes, AutoPing triggers and current alarms. The necessary parameters for
email are set using the Telnet / Serial Interface:
set email server <dotted decimal>
set email address <return address 64 char max>
set email username <user name 128 char max>
set email password <password 128 char max>
Each user is assigned an email address and email can be turned on or off for that user:
set user <name> email <email address 64 char max>
set user <name> sendmail <yes/no>
SNMP
Up to four SNMP managers can be set. Each manager will receive Trap notifications for outlet changes, autoping and
current alarms. Set the SNMP manager IP addresses using the set snmp <n> ipaddress <dotted decimal> command.
Enable or Disable SNMP for any manager with the set snmp <n> enable <yes/no> command.
Firmware Upgrades
The iBootBar can be upgradedvia the network if the upload feature has been enabledusing the set upload enable yes
command on the console interface. To upgrade the iBootBar download the latest version of the firmware and upgrade
utility from the Dataprobe website. http://Dataprobe.com/ibootbartools.html
Password Recovery
Holding the reset button on the front panel of the iBootBar for 5 seconds or longer will initiate a password recovery mode.
Once the reset button is released, the user has 30 seconds to log in to the CLI using the username admin and password
admin. Upon accessing the CLI, change the username and password for User 1 as desired.
iBootBar Setup and Control Utility
The iBootBar Setup and Control Utility is designed to facilitate installation, configuration and management of one or more
iBootBars, Dataprobe’s remote controlled power strip. With the Setup Utility, users can:
9. Automatically discover multiple iBootBars on a local network
10. Adding additional iBootBars, not on the local network
11. Download existing configurations from installed iBootBars
12. Save existing configurations for later use or as backup
13. Open saved configurations for change management
14. Clone saved configurations for replication of similar configurations in multiple iBootBars
15. Upload modified configurations to iBootBars
16. Control Power Outlets on one or more iBootBars throughout the network
The iBootBar Setup & Control Utility works securely through the network connection between a PC running Windows 98 or
higher, and the iBootBar. Administrator rights are required on the iBootBar to properly use the Utility. All communication
between the program and the iBootBars is encrypted using AES.
The iBootBar Setup and Control Utility is available on the iBootBar CD or from Dataprobe website at
http://Dataprobe.com/ibootbartools.html
