1. Introduction

Network equipment sometimes "locks-up", requiring a service call just to flip the power switch to perform a simple reboot. The NPS-2HD Heavy Duty Network Power Switch gives you the ability to perform this function from anywhere on the LAN/WAN, or if the network is down, to simply dial-in from a modem for out-of-band power control.

Intelligent Power Control

The NPS-2HD can communicate over any TCP/IP network using standard Telnet, or out-of-band using an external modem and terminal emulation. Each outlet can be assigned an individual password, device name, reboot delay time and unique power-up default status.

Security

Address specific IP security masks prevent unauthorized users from accessing the NPS command menu via network. The NPS provides two separate password security levels; System level and User level. The System password allows access to all configuration and command functions. The User password allows limited access to command functions.

Easy to Use, Easy to Configure

The NPS can be configured over the network, via modem, or locally via the NPS Console 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.
