Power Control
Users and Administrators can use their ECS0016 gateways to remotely power on, power off, power cycle and read the current status of power strips, UPS supplies and servers:
•Serial port controlled power strips can be controlled by using their command line console. However, these serial port controlled power strips can also be securely accessed and controlled using the Management Console’s power control tools
•Network attached power strips with browser controls can be controlled by directly sending HTTP/HTTPS commands with MetaConnect. Alternately, these browser controlled power strips can be securely accessed and controlled using the Management Console’s power control tools.
•Servers and network attached appliances with embedded IPMI service processors or BMCs invariably are supplied with their own management tools (like SoL) that will provide secure management
