| Remotely OnOff any unattended devices

Overview
|
| |
The NPower Commander is an intelligent device
that gives you remote OnOff control of your unattended equipment. Whether
your equipment crashes unexpectedly or you would simply like to set up a
regular OnOff schedule, you can control the power supply over a TCP/IP
Ethernet, making it a cinch to power on and power off your equipment as
needed.
The NPower Commander can be controlled over a
TCP/IP Ethernet, through an RS-232 PPP connection, or from a regular
telephone line when the network is down. The safe-shutdown ports are
particularly useful when working with Windows NT/2000 workstations.
Several useful API functions are provided that allow you to power on and
power off your equipment for easy programming of your automation system.
Downtime caused by unexpected OS crashes or
power outages has the potential to cost your company a lot of money. With
NPower Commander, you can reduce downtime by being able to power up your
computers and other electrical equipment from a remote location. You can
also shut down equipment when it's not being used, helping reduce your
power bills. And by cascading up to 16 NPower Commanders together, you can
easily and conveniently control as many as 128 pieces of equipment through
the same TCP/IP Ethernet connection. |
