OVERVIEW
Remotely control up to 4, 5, 8, or 16 pieces of powered equipment with BLACK BOX® Rackmount Remote Power Managers.
Use an ASCII command line interface via Telnet™ and a TCP/IP network, a Web browser and a modem, or a local serial PC console that’s emulating a terminal. The power manager’s
Because these power managers have a network connection for controlling them remotely, you can avoid having to make a

Each outlet plug is individually controllable, so you can switch just one piece of equipment, several devices, or all connected devices at any time.
Choose either a horizontal or vertical power manager. The horizontal models require only 1U or 2U of rack space; the vertical models use zero units of space when mounting to a rack.
You can also choose your power range:
The power managers feature superior password protection. A user level limits access for regular users to assigned plugs, and an administrator level gives the system administrator access to all configuration and switching functions for maximum control. Plus, encryption protects your valuable data from hackers.
You can configure Rackmount Remote Power Managers over the TCP/IP network, through a modem link, or locally through the console port. A standard JavaScript enabled browser (such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer or Netscape® Navigator) or an ASCII text menu can be used as the interface to communicate with Remote Power Managers.
The power managers are easy to set up and configure. You can assign location names (or numbers) for the plugs, set system parameters, and view plug status using simple commands. A serial parameters menu is used to configure the power managers’ console port for baud rate, parity, and modem initialization string. A network parameters menu enables you to assign IP and gateway addresses, define the maximum segment size that will be sent by the power manager, and set a subnet mask and IP security parameters.
Once configured, you can save parameters to memory,
so they remain intact even if power to the Rackmount Remote Power Manager is interrupted, and to an ASCII file in order to create a backup of your defined
