1. Introduction
Electronic equipment sometimes "locks-up," requiring a service call just to
flip the power switch to perform a simple reboot. The IPS-800/1600 Series
Internet Power Switches give you the ability to perform this function from
anywhere, just point your browser to the IPS’s IP address, enter the secure
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.
Security Features and Co-Location Features
To ensure security, web browser access requires the user to enter an assigned
user name and password. Password transmitted via web browser use 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 access to assigned plugs and
cannot be used to change unit configuration.
In addition to password security features, the IPS also includes an address
specific IP security mask, which can be employed to prevent unauthorized
network access to the IPS command mode.
Easy to Configure, Easy to Use
The IPS can be configured over the network, via modem, or locally via the IPS
COM port. Easy to use commands let you assign a location name, set system
parameters and view plug status. Outlets can be switched On, Off, or booted
using plug numbers or names.
Reliability and Support
The IPS is built in the USA and backed by a two year warranty. NetReach
products are installed in thousands of network sites world wide. Our
customers know they can depend on WTI for superior quality and reliability
