BLACK BOX POWER SWITCH - UK, 1-PORT

Power and control power outlets via IP. The Power Switch NG is a series of power distribution and control devices that enable remote power management of many devices over the Intranet the Internet or locally through an RS-232 serial connection. It also allows to trigger a soft shutdown of a server and offers environmental control functions and IP devices monitoring. They support the HTTP DHCP Syslog and SNTP protocols.

The A-xBus on the front panel enables you to connect up to 4 peripherals to increase the number of controlled power outlets and/or to set up remote monitoring of your facilities.

Each power outlet or power outlet group can be individually controlled through an Ethernet. The serial interface also enables the power outlets management over a terminal connection and to trigger a soft shutdown of a server with shutdown capabilities.

A restart delay (5-60 seconds) can be set individually for each power outlet.

Avoids the risk for a power inrush to blow a fuse or circuit breaker in the data center.

Access to the Power Switch is protected by name and password. The administrator account allows complete configuration and control of all power outlets over a web browser. The administrator can create up to 40 concurrent user accounts with restricted rights.

Full configuration can be performed through the Web using a web browser. The network configuration can be done through the provided Windows tool over the LAN or through a terminal connection.

To avoid confusion during operation you can attribute a 32-character label to each device power outlet group of outlets user account rule peripheral.

The Power Switch NG can automatically carry out up to 32 rules to trigger scheduled tasks or to take predetermined actions (switching off a power outlet sending alerts messages) in response to a specific event (exceeded temperature threshold opened contact door).

A Watchdog function lets you monitor 4 IP devices (servers routers camera...). In the case of a lock-up of the monitored device this one can be automatically rebooted.

Many sensors (temperature humidity ambient light...) detectors (smoke liquid...) as well as dry contacts can be used directly with this system to secure your facilities and automatically trigger emergency actions.

Developers can use the specific page functionality (with or without identification) for easy implementation of the power outlet control through the network in their own program.
