Switching off is the default condition The contact will turn off on power loss this cannot be changed The aux output can also be manually controlled by the user through the configuration web page The web page will indicate the current state of the aux output and permit the user to change that state The CX 6p PoE will also send messages to up to four Pilot servers on aux contact output change as well as periodic updates of all alarm and aux status These messages can trigger events in the CMS Pilot Software 21 Watchdog function The CX 6p PoE has a watchdog feature which allows it to monitor the function of up to four network connected devices The CX 6p PoE can monitor a network device by periodically sending ping requests to the device over the network After a number of pings without responses from the target device the CX 6p PoE takes an action which can be configured by the user This action can consist of either setting an aux contact output on the CX 6p PoE for a set period of time sending a TCP message over the network to a user defined destination sending an alarm email to a user supplied address or cycling power on one of the four POE powered Ethernet ports on the the CX 6p PoE This feature permits the CX 6p PoE to monitor an external piece of network connected equipment and on detection of a failure trigger an alarm notify a technician power cycle an external device through a relay or directly cycle power on a POE
