DUAL-PORT NETWORK POWER SWITCH
2. Introduction
2.1 Description
Network equipment sometimes locks up, requiring a service call just to flip the
power switch to perform a simple reboot. The Dual-Port Network Power Switch
gives network administrators the ability to perform this function from anywhere on
the LAN/WAN, or if the network is down, to simply dial-in from a modem for out-
of-band power control.
2.2 Features
• Intelligent power control: The Dual-Port Network Power Switch can
communicate over any TCP/IP network using generic Telnet, or out-of-band
using an external modem and terminal emulation. Each outlet can be assigned
an individual password, device name, reboot delay time, and unique power-up
default status.
• Security and co-location features: Address-specific IP security masks prevent
unauthorized network access to the Dual-Port Network Power Switch
command mode. The Switch provides two password security levels: system level
and user level. The system password allows access to all configuration and
command functions. The user password allows access only to assigned plugs.
User-level security features are ideal for co-location applications, where
multiple users may be allowed plug-specific access to the Dual-Port Network
Power Switch.
• Easy to use, easy to configure: Reboots and plug switching are controlled by
simple ASCII commands sent to the Switch via network, modem, or from a
local PC. Setup and configuration are simple; easy-to-follow menus lead you
through the installation process.
• Turn On/Off any AC-powered device via Telnet, modem, or local terminal.
• Two individual switched outlets.
• Two levels of outlet-specific password security plus network security.
