USB Watchdog Stick
USB watchdog stick with 2 relays for PC reset or e.g. SMS info systems
With the USB-WATCHDOG-STICK, DEDITEC launches a range of watchdog tools for PC monitoring. The design is based on the successful and compact USB MINI Stick series. Equipped with 2 relay outputs (normally open) and a CPU featuring a watchdog core, the stick can automatically perform a PC reset or trigger an SMS via an optional SMS message box.
All standard settings such as timeout duration, relay hold time, and relay behavior in case of failure can be visually configured using a watchdog configuration assistant and permanently stored on the stick.
Software
Using the included DELIB driver library, the watchdog stick can be queried and retriggered with simple commands, such as DAPIWatchdogRetrigger. If the monitored software crashes, these retrigger commands stop being sent, and the watchdog stick automatically executes the configured relay actions after the specified watchdog timeout period.
