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.
