General Overview
8 Independently controllable outlets
The iBootBar (iBB) series is designed to provide power distribution and
remote power control. Each iBB allows eight outlets to be
independently switched on and off for reboot, energy management and
security. The iBB has many features to make the management of
power distribution simple and cost effective:
Dual power inputs for redundant
power feeds (some models)
Models with dual inputs (iBB-2N- or iBB-2C-) have two inlets (mains).
Each main feeds four outlets Inlet A supports outlets 1-4 and Inlet B
feeds 5-8. Dual power inlet models can be used to support higher
current devices, as each inlet can carry its rated load, doubling the
amperage of a single inlet device. Dual Inlet models can also be used
to source power from two redundant sources, with each source feeding
a power supply of a single device.
Support for dual redundant powered
devices In addition to two power sources, pairs of outlets can be linked together
to allow simultaneous control. This allows a single command to power
down devices with dual redundant power supplies.
Web Browser Control Simple web browser interface is easy to use and provides complete
status information and control of the outlets, and groups.
Telnet/Serial CLI control Telnet and serial access use the same Command Line Interface (CLI )
structure and syntax to completely configure the iBootBar, or multiple
iBootBars in a cluster configuration.
Multiple users with assigned rights
and simultaneous control Up to 16 users can be assigned administrator or user only rights, plus
access to specific outlets and groups. Users only see the outlets and
groups they are assigned to.
Multiple iBootBar
Cluster Configuration
Up to 16 iBootBars can be linked together and controlled from a single
web or CLI interface. One master iBootBar provides the
communication to the users and continuously receives status
information from the rest of the iBootBars in the cluster. Up to 128
outlets can be controlled in this manner from one IP address.
Grouping of outlets for simultaneous
management Multiple outlets, across multiple iBootBars in clustered configurations
can be linked together in named groups and managed together. This
allows for example, power cycling all devices of a certain type together.
AutoPing for automatic reboot of
crashed systems Up to 16 systems can be continuously monitored with AutoPing, with
automatic power control upon loss of contact. Reboot crashed
systems, or provide auto power-up or –down for environmental
controls, and notification systems.
Real-Time event control Set automatic power actions based on your schedule. Restart systems
every day to reduce memory bloat. Power up resources only when
needed for energy management, lifecycle extension or security.
Internal Modem Option, Data or DTMF
Control (some models)
Models with Suffix –M have internal modems with approvals in 36
countries. The modem supports data calls from terminal devices using
the CLI, and direct dial from a tone telephone for simple on/off control
when more sophisticated means are not available.

iBootBar V1.5x Page 7
SNMP manageable Setup and Control functions can be linked to any SNMP v1 compatible
manager. The iBootBar MIB is downloadable from the website.
Syslog reporting All activity can be reported to a syslog compatible server.

Configuration
Setup & Control Utility
The 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. Add 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
The Setup and Control Utility only operates with iBootBars attached to the network.
iBootBars in a cluster configuration can be configured using the setup and control utility, if
they are attached to the network.
iBootBar Setup and Control Utility

iBootBar V1.5x Page 11
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. In iBootBar clusters, all remote
iBootBars can be configured and managed through the connection to the Master iBootBar. It is also possible to access,
configure and control any Expansion iBootBars directly.
Open a telnet client and point it to the current IP Address of the iBootBar. (Factory Default is 192.168.0.254)
Connect to the Serial port or via PSTN connection to the 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 username and password is admin)
A complete list of commands and syntax is found on page 16.
Setting the IP Address
iBootBars comes with factory default 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 (factory default)
To configure the mode to set the IP address, access the iBootBar’s command line interface (CLI) and use the set
ipmode command as indicated below.
Setting the IP address using CLI
These are the basic commands to set the network parameters. After setting these parameters, the iBootBar will need to
be rebooted for the settings to take effect. Any command that requires rebooting of the iBootBar will provide a prompt to
do so. All commands may be entered as required before rebooting.
Example: Telnet to default IP address 192.168.0.254

Once the IP address is set, the following command can be used to prevent DHCP or ARP-Ping from altering it:
Setipmodestatic

Page 12 iBootBar V1.5x
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
iBootBar.
To enable this feature, configure the iBootBar with the command setipmodedhcp
Then reboot the iBootBar, or enter the command reboot
To find the IP 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, or use
the Discover provision of the iBootBar Setup and Control Utility.

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 subnet as the computer assigning the address. ARP does not work across routed or
switched networks.
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 16 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 a few mouse clicks. In cluster
configurations, all 128 outlets can be managed
from the web pages.
The interface is divided into three sections Header,
Control, and Status.
Each user will only be able to view and control the
outlets, devices and groups that have been
assigned to the user.
Header The Header identifies the iBootBar currently being accessed. If multiple iBootBars are deployed in a cluster
configuration, this will be the master iBootBar.
The Header allows the selection of various Status Vviews. To select an individual iBootBar, or predefined group of
outlets, click on the one of the two dropdown lists. To select the global view, click on Global. To see the status of the
AutoPing feature, click on AutoPing.
Control The Control panel provides the clickable buttons to change status of one or more
outlets. Once one or more outlets have been selected, click on the On, Off, or Cycle button.
Cycle will perform a timed change in outlet state; either Reboot (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 time, in seconds, between the turning on of
each outlet whenever more than one outlets are turned on from the same command. 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 conditions. Web pages are
static moments in time, so use the Refresh obtain the latest status.
Logout terminates the session.

Page 14 iBootBar V1.5x
Status The Status window displays the current view, controllable outlets, or other current information. Buttons in the
Header select the current view.
Device View
The Device View displays the status of a single
device. It shows the current status of each outlet
of the device, and allows selection of one or more
outlets for control. It also displays the current
draw of each inlet and any alarms.

outlet for control.
Outlet Status Outlet status is displayed by a
colored text box. The color indicates the current
status of the outlet and the text indicates the
function being performed.
Inlet Status The current of each power inlet
(main) is displayed below the outlets fed by that
inlet. High current alarms are highlighted in red,
low current alarms are highlighted in yellow.
Group View
The Group Veiw displays the status of a single
group. Groups are two or more outlets linked
together for simultaneous control. In the group
view, each device containing a member of the
group is displayed on a line, with the status of the
outlets that are group members. Control the
group by clicking on the appropriate button in the
Control section.
Global View
The Global View displays all iBootBars in one
view. Each outlet has a checkbox, allowing
multiple outlets to be simultaneously controlled
without the need to establish a group. Only outlets
that the user has rights to will have status and
control checkbox displayed.
