2 Outlet IP Switch Advanced Ping Settings

The 2 Outlet Remote Power IP Switch is a versatile tool for any IT situation. With the ability to automatically reset devices when internet connectivity is lost, schedule power cycles, and prevent truck rolls for simple hardware reboots, there isn’t a situation where this won’t save you time and money. What if you are in a situation where you have a modem and separate router, and want to monitor them individually? Many 5Gstore customers have been in the situation where they have a rock solid router that doesn’t need to be reset normally, and a modem that fails often. Simply letting the IP Switch power cycle both on an internet failure is an option, but that can mean unnecessary local downtime if its just the modem that has failed. Simply not plugging the routers power into the IP Switch means just the modem would reset, but what if the router does lock up, and there is nobody there to reset it? Equipment on the LAN would be without communication. This could be a camera and DVR, or any other device that doesn’t need an internet connection to function. Below are the steps to configure the 2 Outlet IP Switch to fix that problem.
