The PN0108 is a control unit that offers power management for up to eight directly connected devices (computers, hubs, routers, etc.). The unit has daisy chaining capabilities to increase that number to a maximum of 128 devices. When connected to an ATEN or Altusen TCP/IP accessible module via its PON (Power Over Network RS232) port [see the diagram below] the PN0108 allows administrators from any computer connected to the internet, whether down the hall, or half way around the world - to control the power off, power on, and reboot status for each attached device.
- Remote and local power on/off/reboot control for eight outlets via TCP/IP and a built in RS-232 PON (Power over the Net) port
- Daisy chain up to 15 additional stations to control up to 128 outlets
- Local / manual switching (with user restricted access) for each port via front panel push button switches
- Individual control of each port - users can set the power on sequence and delay time for each port to allow equipment to be turned on in the proper order
- Easy setup and operation via a GUI interface
- Provides three configuration/management methods: Browser; Telnet; or Console Terminal
- Safe shutdown and rebooting for Windows systems
- Over current protection and recovery for each AC port (110 V model only); total port over current protection (both models) - the current status can be monitored via the GUI interface locally or remotely.
- Independent circuits for unit power and device power - the PN0108 can be accessed if an over current condition trips the device side circuit breaker
- On/Off scheduling - allows everything from a one-time start/shutdown, to daily, weekly, etc. starts/shutdowns at user-specified times
- Port grouping - perform the same action on a specified group of ports
- Two level (Administrator and User) security
- Firmware upgradeable - daisy chained stations receive the upgrade via the daisy chain bus
