1.General Description
The iBoot-PoE is a network attached, IP addressed, web controlled Power Over Ethernet (PoE) power
switch. Anyone with a web browser can access iBoot-PoE to perform power On, Off or Power Cycle
(Reboot). iBoot-PoE uses two levels of password for security.
iBoot-PoE has a web server built in, as well as the ability to be managed through the iBoot Cloud Service.
A simple Web browser interface makes it easy to control power from anywhere in the world with a click of a
mouse. iBoot-PoE 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.
1.1. Uses for iBoot
•Automatic reboot of PoE devices – Cameras, Access Points, Phones, etc.
•Range Extender – Add 100 meters to PoE runs
•PoE Injector – When used with Power Supply PS-WRI-7 iBoot-PoE is a complete PoE injector with
reboot. The external power supply can also function as back-up power in the event that the PoE
power fails.

iboot-poe_v180808n iBoot-PoE Page 3
1.2. Automatic Reboot
iBoot-PoE provides two ways to monitor your application and provide automatic reboot when configurable
conditions are met
AutoPing
The AutoPing feature allows iBoot-PoE to automatically detect failed equipment and perform a timed
reboot or other power control function. You set one or two IP addresses to be periodically pinged. When
iBoot-PoE no longer detects a response from these addresses, the programmed power control function is
actuated. The two addresses can be AND or OR linked so that both (AND) or either (OR) need to fail in
order to take the selected action.
With AutoPing, it is also possible to turn ON or OFF the PD when the trigger conditions are met.
See Section 5.5 On AutoPing Setup
Traffic Monitor
Traffic Monitor measures the bandwidth utilization and reboots the PD when the utilization is too low or too
high. It is specifically designed to support high speed access points that crash or degrade over time and
need a quick reboot to get up and running properly.
In addition to setting minimum and (optionally) a maximum traffic, settings allow for monitoring of the
Uplink and/or Downlink, and to disable the traffic monitoring function at specific times of the day, like when
your coffee shop is closed.
See Section 5.5 on Traffic Monitor Setup
Scheduling
Scheduling provides calendar based control of power, to power up or down devices as needed, or to
provide regular reboots to insure proper operation. See Section 5.6

iboot-poe_v180808n iBoot-PoE Page 4
1.3. Automatic Self Configuration
In most cases, the iBoot-PoE will identify all the network elements required to configure itself for automatic
monitoring and rebooting of a typical PoE environment. The unit will identify the following:
•Network Router to obtain an IP address and additional settings for proper network configuration.
(DHCP)
•Downstream PoE device IP address for self-setup of AutoPing monitoring of the PD for automatic
reboot when the PD fails.
•In cases where there are multiple IP addresses on the PD side, as when used to protect a network
access point, the iBoot-PoE will self-configure for bandwidth monitoring to determine when an
automatic reboot is necessary.
In order for this discovery and self-configuration to take place, the proper installation sequence must be
followed. See Section 2.1 for auto configuration procedure.
1.4. Multiple Control Options
In addition to the Web control capabilities, iBoot-PoE features several other means to operate
automatically or under computer control.
URL Control: You can send a single URL to the iBoot-PoE 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-PoE to automatically detect failed equipment and perform a
timed reboot or other power control function. You may set 1 or 2 IP addresses to be periodically pinged.
When iBoot-PoE no longer detects a response from the address(es), the programmed power control
function is actuated.
Traffic Monitor: In situations where AutoPing is not possible, the iBoot-PoE provides a traffic monitoring
feature that can identify slowdowns or failures in bandwith throughput and auto-reboot when user specified
conditions are met.
Telnet:iBoot’s Command Line Interface (CLI) allows direct control and setup through Telnet.
Dataprobe Exchange Protocol:iBoot-PoE supports the Dataprobe Exchange Protocol (DxP) This protocol
allows Dataprobe products to communicate across networks, and allows developers to design custom
applications to integrate iBoot-PoE into unique applications. For more information about DxP, contact
Dataprobe Support team ([e-mail]).

2.Hardware Installation
2.1. Auto Configuration Sequence
In most cases, the iBoot-PoE can completely configure itself on initial installation to identify all network
elements and automatic reboot of failed devices. For the best results follow this sequence when installing
the iBoot-PoE for the first time.
1. Connect the OUT connection of the iBoot-PoE to the PoE powered device to be controlled
2. Connect the IN connection of the iBoot-PoE to the Network Switch
3. Connect the Power Supply to the iBoot-PoE when used as an injector
Auto Configuration takes approximately 30 seconds. During this time, the unit is not accessible or
discoverable.
To install the iBoot-PoE without using the Auto Configuration feature, power up the iBoot-PoE either by
connecting it to the PSE or with the power supply, for at least 30 seconds before connecting the PD to the
OUT connector. The iBoot-PoE will still use DHCP to configure the network if the router supports it. No
automatic reboot functions will be enabled.
Auto Configuration can also be initiated via the web page setup. See Section 5.5
2.2. Hardware Connections
iBoot-PoE supports 10/100/1000 Ethernet using the cable supplied, or other suitable unshielded twisted
pair (Cat 3-6) cabling.
It is compliant with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at for devices up to 25.5 Watts.
When Used as a Range Extender
In this mode, an external device supplies the power for both the iBoot-PoE and the Controlled device.
•Connect the Out connector to the PoE Device to be controlled (PD); Camera, Access Point, Phone,
etc. Connect only PoE compatible devices.
•Connect the IN connector to the PoE Power source (PSE); PoE Switch, Midspan or Injector

iboot-poe_v180808n iBoot-PoE Page 6
When Used as a PoE Injector
In this mode, the separate power supply PS-WRI-7 supplies power to both the PoE and the Controlled
Device.
•Connect the OUT connector to the PoE Device to be controlled (PD); Camera, Access Point, Phone,
etc. Connect only PoE compatible devices.
•Connect the IN connector to the network router or switch.
•Then connect the power supply to the iBoot-PoE.
Ethernet LED Displays
•IN connector Green LED indicates Network Activity
Amber LED indicates 1000Mbps Speed
•OUT connector Green LED indicates Network Activity
Amber LED indicates PoE power being used by the PD
2.3. Power Connection
When Used as a Range Extender
Power is supplied by the Power Source Equipment (PSE) on the IN connector. No external Power Supply
is necessary.
When Used as a PoE Injector
Use only Dataprobe model PS-WRI-7 to power the unit.
With either a proper PSE connected to the IN jack, or the PS-WRI-7 powering the unit, the PWR IN LED
will be on.
With both a PSE and PS-WRI-7 connected to the iBoot-PoE, the unit will take power from the external
power supply.
2.4. Mounting Options
iBoot-PoE is suitable for desktop, shelf or wall mounting. Two screw holes on the housing can be used to
secure the iBoot-PoE to a suitable surface. Insure that the screw heads do not interfere with the
attachment and disconnect of the network cables.

iboot-poe_v180808n iBoot-PoE Page 7
3.Initial Configuration
3.1. DHCP 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).
If your network does not use DHCP, the iBoot-PoE will default to IP Address 192.168.1.254
3.2. Device Management Utility
The DMU is available online at
dataprobe.com/support-iboot-poe/, provides the
easiest means to find and configure your iBoot-PoE
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-PoE
Obtain and use the DMU:
1. Download the latest version of the DMU at
dataprobe.com/support-iboot-poe/ Run
DMUSetup.exe
2. Run the DMU
Note: The IP address can only be set within the first
two minutes of powering up the iBoot-PoE or
pressing the reset button (see Section 10). The
DMU 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 local 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 New iBoot-PoE
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

3.3. Other ways to set the IP Address
1. Web Browser via the Set-up Page – See Section 5
2. Command Line Interface See Section 1
3.4. Automatic Configuration
Automatic Configuration provides the quickest and easiest way to get your iBoot-PoE up and running. It
diagnoses the installation environment and pre-sets the Automation section based on the application. The
iBoot-PoE will self-configure for automatic reboot under the following conditions:
•Factory New Install See Section 10
•Factory Reset Install
•Manually enabling Auto Configure from the Automation web page
•Manually enabling Auto Configure from the CLI command
The steps the iBoot-PoE uses for Auto Configuration are as follows
1. Establish IP credentials on the network using DHCP (if not already established)
2. Listen on the OUT connector for activity for up to 30 seconds
3. Set either the AutoPing or Traffic Monitor active
oSet AutoPing if only 1 IP Address is discovered
This would be typical of a camera, phone or security system installation
oSet Traffic Monitor if multiple IP Addresses are discovered
This would be typical of an access point application
The following are the standard settings that will be used for self-configuring AutoPing and Traffic Monitor.
All these settings can be changed with either the web setup or Command Line Interface. See Section 5.5
for an explanation of these settings.

iboot-poe_v180808n iBoot-PoE Page 10
4.Web Browser Operation
4.1. Password Protection
iBoot-PoE 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 5.7.
Default Credentials:
Role
Username (fixed)
Password
(settable)
Administrator
admin
admin
User
user
user
Open your browser and enter the IP address of iBoot-PoE into the address bar. That address will either be
the one assigned by your DHCP server, one that it was manually changed to or 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-PoE 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-PoE 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-PoE via Telnet and reboot the unit, or press the reset button (see Section 10).
4.2. Mobile Browser Support
The standard web pages illustrated in this manual are for screen
sizes 700 pixels wide and greater. For devices with screen widths
below 700 pixels, the iBoot-PoE uses a set of mobile browser pages.
The iBoot-PoE automatically detects the screen size and redirects
automatically to the mobile pages. The mobile pages do not support
the setup functions. To access the setup functions, or to view the full
desktop site, click on the Full Site button.

iboot-poe_v180808n iBoot-PoE Page 11
4.3. 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-PoE at a time.).
This page provides automatic updates every 5
second.
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 and/or Traffic Monitor features are
in use, the page will also display the current status, OK or Failed, for each, 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-PoE is connected to a time server (see Section 5.4), 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-PoE
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 Buttons:
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.
Setup: To access the Setup page, the administrator credentials are required. When logged in as User, the
challenge for Administrator credentials will be displayed.
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.

iboot-poe_v180808n iBoot-PoE Page 12
4.4. URL Control
iBoot-PoE 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, plus
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 maintain that condition (optional). Will return to initial state
if used.
<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 5.7 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
URL Command Responses
iBoot-PoE will return an response to a URL command as follows:

5.3. Advanced Network Settings
HTTP Port: This setting is used to
allow access to iBoot-PoE on a port
other than the Web standard Port 80.
If the port is changed, you will need to
identify the port number when you
enter iBoot's IP address into your
browser. If the new port is 8080 then
use the address
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-PoE, which is the default
setting. If this setting is left blank, the
hotlink will be the IP Address of the
unit. Enter up to 128 characters.
Telnet Port: This setting is used to allow access to the iBoot-PoE via telnet by ports other than standard
23.
DxP Port: This setting is used to allow access to the iBoot-PoE via Dataprobe Exchange Protocol (DxP)
via ports other than standard 9100.
Enable Cloud Services: This setting enables the iBoot for iBoot Cloud Services (iBCS). iBCS allows the
iBoot to be monitored and controlled from a web portal from any browser. It allows multiple iBoots to be
managed from a single portal. For a complete description of iBCS and setup instructions, see Section 6.
Note: Some of the TCP/IP Settings require a reboot of the iBoot-PoE, after clicking Save. A
Reboot button will appear at the bottom of the page when it is necessary. The new settings will
not take effect until the unit is rebooted. Reboot will not affect the power position of the iBoot-PoE.
Upon Clicking Reboot, the Googbye page is displayed with a link to re-login.
5.4. Time Setup

Cycle
Cycle Times
Upon triggering, iBoot-PoE will cycle the power. If Power Cycle does not
result in the ping response the iBoot-PoE can cycle again. The number of
times the iBoot-PoE will cycle is set by the Cycle Times setting. To have the
iBoot cycle power 3 times to get the system to respond again, set the Cycle
Times to 3.
Restart: This setting delays the restart of the AutoPing tests after the Action is completed. This setting
allows time for the boot sequence of the failed device to complete.

iboot-poe_v180808n iBoot-PoE Page 16
With AutoPing operational, the main iBoot-PoE page will display the current status of this feature. The
status will be OK to indicate that iBoot-PoE 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.
Note: All of the AutoPing Settings require a reboot of the iBoot-PoE, after clicking Save. A Reboot button
will appear at the bottom 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-PoE. Upon Clicking Reboot, the
Goodbye page is displayed with a link to re-login.

6.iBoot Cloud Service
iBoot Cloud Service (iBCS) allows customers with
iBoot to access and control multiple iBoots in multiple
locations from a single portal with a single sign-on.
iBCS will not only make using iBoots easier, by
consolidating all units into one sign-on and interface, it
will also enhance the number of situations where iBoot
can be deployed.
•Customers with Dynamic IP addressing will
always be able to access their iBoot from any
location.
•Customers that do not allow in-bound
connections can access their iBoots.
•Service providers can manage multiple
customer accounts with diverse security
configurations
iBoot Cloud service is currently in development and is
made available to our current users free of charge.
Please note that as at this beta stage, service interruptions may occur or new versions of the iBoot
firmware may be made available and necessary to keep current with the cloud development. The full
Terms of Service of the iBoot Cloud Service is available here.
While the Cloud Service is in Beta stage, the firmware in the iBoot is fully tested and released by
Dataprobe. If you do not enable the cloud capabilities of the iBoot, you can expect continuous and
dependable operation.
