If the Reset button in the switching menu is triggered, the device will turn of the specified Power Port, wait the time entered

here (in seconds) and then it will turn on the power port again.

4.3.2 Watchdog

While using the watchdog, electrical devices can be observed. The watchdog sends ICMP-pings or TCP-pings to the device.

If these pings were not answered, during a defined delay (time or pings), the power port will reset. The watchdog function

allows to restart e.g. crashed servers or NAS systems.

You can check the watchdog function and other imformation inside of the switching menu. There are different colors:

Green text: Watchdog is active and receives ping replies

Orange text: Watchdog is activating at the moment, waiting for first ping reply

Red text: Watchdog is active and does not receive ping replies any longer

When watchdog is activating it waits of a first ping reply. During this time, the information is written as an orange text. After

the receive of the first ping reply, it switches to active, written in green letters.

When a watchdog reset a power port, the watchdog again waits for a first ping reply, as stated above.

NET-SNMP to request information of Expert Power Control 1100/1101 via SNMP.

4.3.7.9.1 SNMP-communities

SNMP authentifies requests by so called communities.

The public community has to be added to SNMP-read-requests and the private community to SNMP write requests. You can

see the SNMP communites like read/write passwords. SNMP v1 and v2 transmit the communities without encryption.

Therefore it is simple to spy out these communities. We recommend to use a DMZ or IP ACL.

4.3.7.9.2 MIB

All information, that can be requested or changed, the so called „Managed Objects“, are descripted in „Management

Information Bases“ (MIBs).

There are three MIBs, which can be requested fromthe Expert Power Control 1100/1101:

„system“, „interface“ and „powerports“

„system“ and „interface“ are standardised MIBs (MIB-II).

„powerports“ (GUDEADS-EPC-MIB::gadsEPC) was created especially for the Expert Power Control 1100/1101.

At least, there are so called Object Identifiers (OID) subordinated to those three structures. An OID describes the location of

an information inside a MIB.

4.3.7.9.3 SNMP-traps

SNMP-Traps are system messages, sent via SNMP-protocol to different clients. On following events, Expert Power Control
