Terminal board description
Pin Power Function description
PO Power ON In the idle state this pin contains power supply of the IP Watchdog – axis of the power connector
PF Power OFF In Reset mode this pin contains power supply of the IP Watchdog – axis of the power connector
NC Normally Close In Idle state this pin is connected with appropriate COM pin
NO Normally Open In Reset state this pin is connected with appropriate COM pin
COM Common Common pin
- in case of switching contacts (blue fields) connected to relay armature
- in power connectors (red fields) the second part of the power supply – casing of the power connector
DIP switch description
DIP 1 ON   = Service mode (for service purposes only)
OFF = Operation mode
DIP 2 ON  = TCP Setup mode security OFF = Without security

Other connectors
Power Coaxial connector for power supply of IP WatchDog Lite or some monitored devices, Power supply using a feeder of the monitored device can be realized if it complies with the maximum voltage for the IP Watchdog Lite
System For service purposes only

Note: The relay power connectors are connected directly to a power connector of the IP Watchdog Lite. The internal construction allows using both AC and DC feeder.

Mechanic dimensions

The device is situated in a plastic box.

  • Standardly the box contains rubber stands.
  • Further you can order a removable holder for DIN molding, that is mounted from below in the centre of the plate.

Common channel functions

network device monitoring, remote power management, Remote network monitoring, ping test
  • Device name – Makes orientation easier when configuring channels and solving the problems with the monitored device. It can contain at most 20 characters.
  • Reboot Hold Time – duration of the Reset state. Allows setting time when the channel/relay stays in reset state (manual or automatic). Duration can be set from interval 1-1800 seconds. If this parameter is set to “0” then the Reset state lasts until the next refreshing impulse comes. This mode is suitable for activation of the backup device or identification of the error state using other signalization means. More information can be found in the Reboot Hold Time paragraph of the chapter “Application hints”.
  • Timeout After Reboot – time interval that IP WatchDog waits before causing other Reset after previous one (or after first launch of the device), if monitored data are not received. The Interval can be from range of  0-1800 seconds. The “0” value causes device to wait for first incoming data from the monitored device.
  • Channel enabled/disabled – enables/disables a channel.
  • If the channel is Disabled, the additional Manual Control button will be available above the Save values button

Parameters of monitored functions

Incoming Ping

 back up connectivity, back up power supply control, watch dog, IP watchDog Lite, Incoming PING, Timeout for rebootIP WatchDog Lite awaits the incoming ping from monitored device in the configured parameters. The following parameters can be configured:

  • IP range – range of IP addresses, defined by the IP and mask, which the incoming PING will be accepted from.
  • Timeout delay for reboot – interval from the range of 0-1800 sec ( 0 = disabled ), that IP Watchdog waits for PING before causing RESET. 

 

Note: To prevent overloading network and monitored devices it is recommended not to use higher frequences of incoming ping than 3 within 60 seconds.

Outgoing Ping

IP WatchDog Lite sends the PING command to a specific IP address in specific time intervals and awaits response. The following parameters can be configured:

Outgoing PING, target IP address, pings timeout for reboot
  • Primary target IP – primary IP address, where IP Watchdog sends PING and   from which it awaits response.
  • Secondary target IP – secondary IP address, where IP Watchdog sends PING and   from which it awaits response, if the primary target does not respond.
  • Pinging Timeout – interval between individual sent pings from the range of 0-1800 seconds. ( 0 = disabled). 
  • Failed pings per timeout for reboot – number of allowed failed PINGs needed to cause RESET.

Note: To prevent overloading network and monitored devices it is recommended not to use higher frequences of incoming ping than 3 within 60 seconds. Firewall could take it as a "Ping of Death" attack.
