1. Introduction

Electronic equipment sometimes "locks-up," requiring a service call

just to flip the power switch to perform a simple reboot. The IPS-15

Internet Power Switch gives you the ability to perform this function

from anywhere, just point your browser to the IPS's IP address, enter

the secure user name and password, and you're just a click away

from remote power On, Off or Reboot!

Intelligent Power Control

In addition to web browser access, the IPS can also communicate

over any TCP/IP network using standard Telnet, or out-of-band

using an external modem and basic VT100 type terminal emulation.

Expandable

The Main IPS unit can be linked to four additional low cost satellite

units for a total of five individually controlled outlets. If Satellite

Units are addressed in a gang configuration (multiple units assigned

to each address), then up to 16 Satellite Units can be linked together.

Flexible mounting options are also available. A Zero U rack bracket

lets you mount the IPS on the outside of a standard 19 inch rack rail.

A 1U rack tray allows mounting one main unit and two satellite

units in a 19 inch rack.

Security Features

To assure security, web browser access requires the user to enter an

assigned user name and password. This password uses basic 64 bit

encryption techniques to assure secure access to your equipment.

The IPS provides two levels of operational passwords; the System

Administrator Level, which allows access to all configuration and

switching functions, and the User Level, which only allows

switching of assigned plugs.
