Introduction

Overview

The PN0108 Power Over the NET™ is a control unit that offers remote power management for up to eight devices (computers, hubs, routers, etc.). When connected to an ATEN or Altusen TCP/IP accessible module via its PON (RS232) port – see the diagram below – it allows administrators from any computer connected to the internet, whether down the hall, or half way around the world – to control the power off, power on, and reboot status for each attached device. See Supported Devices, page 62 for a list of compatible ATEN/ALTUSEN devices.
