6. Reboot Options
In addition to performing reboot cycles in response to commands, RSM-8R8 Series
units can also be configured to automatically reboot outlets when an attached device
does not respond to a Ping command (Ping-No-Answer Reboot) or according to a user
defined schedule (Scheduled Reboot.)

• Ping-No-AnswerReboot: When the Ping-No-Answer feature is enabled,
RSM-8R8 Series units will Ping a user selected IP address at regular intervals. If the
IP address does not respond to the Ping command, the RSM-8R8 Series unit will
reboot one or more user selected outlet(s). Typically, this feature is used to reboot
devices when they cease to respond to the Ping command.
• ScheduledReboot: A scheduled reboot is used to initiate a reboot cycle at a
user selected time and day of the week. When properly configured and enabled,
RSM-8R8 Series units will reboot one or more outlets on a daily or weekly basis.
The Scheduled Reboot feature can also be used to switch outlet(s) Off at a user
selected time, and then switch them back On again at a later, user selected time.
This section describes the procedure for configuring and enabling Ping-No-Answer
Reboots and Scheduled Reboots.
