Hi everybody,
I’m new in these forum and i’m francophone…so, scuse my typos !!
I use RB951u for vpn. I have a cam on the ether5 and i use the poe out to power the relay that can power off the cam when it need a reboot.
It works great.
Now i have a modem who need sometimes to be remotly rebooted. But if i use the poe output to do so, i will kill my remote connection. I would like for the mikrotik to go back to POE OFF automaticly after few seconds.
tks
One way would be to use a normally-open relay (It seems your current relay is normally-closed since PoE on = device off) and then reboot the Mikrotik to reboot the modem…
Another would be to do a little scripting - make a script which will turn PoE on, then sleep for 5 seconds or so, then turn it off.
Then make another script which runs as a scheduled task, and looks for the presence of something - like a comment on the PoE interface. When the comment is found, the script will bounce PoE and then clear the comment. Whenever you want to reboot the modem, just set the comment to the value the scheduled script looks for.
