Remote rebooter range

CrispTech has announced the IP Power range of remote power controllers or rebooters. The IP Power products enable remote control of power outlets via ethernet, either from across the street or across the world. This means that attached devices can have their power cycled or the device restarted by anybody that has a network or internet connection and the appropriate security authority.

Initially, there is a four-port standalone unit and an eight-port rack mount (1RU) unit with an additional unit coming soon that will offer GSM access as well as network control.

There are additional options to also control PCs across the network using the Wake-on-LAN (WoL) feature and to also gracefully shut down a server with a programmable time delay. The shut down process requires a small software service to be loaded on the server or PC and it has been successfully tested with a variety of Microsoft operating systems. Built-in scheduling also offers time-of-day control and override functions. For those customers that want more functionality or customisation there is a software development kit included so that they can customise their own web interface using http commands, or incorporate it into their control or SCADA systems.

These products offer simple power control over remote facilities such as pumping stations, telecommunication base stations, multimedia displays, computer control systems, building control systems, agriculture and anywhere that is unmanned or difficult to access quickly.
