ePowerSwitch 1G

Description

The ePowerSwitch 1G offers numerous usages to control, manage and monitor any device. The configuration of the sockets via the integrated web server is flexible and comfortable. The sockets are available for nearly any european standard (SCHUKO, FR, UK, CH). The device can be installed as required. By using an optional 19″ mounting kit up to 4 ePowerSwitch 1G can be installed in 1U.

Power Distribution

Each socket can be switched on/off and restarted via IP or RS232 interface. This can be done by the web interface, a KVM switch, SNMP, or any serial interface.

The sequential on and off switching of each outlet prevents resulting peak loads within the IT environment. The sockets are equipped with extremely robust HiAmp relay for high inrush currents. Individual delays (1-255 seconds when you next switch, 1-3600 seconds when restarting) can be configured for the switching process.

Monitoring

Device Monitoring
The monitoring of connected devices is realized through the use of an ePowerSwitch Master. It can monitor up to 40 IP addresses with ping or scan commands and send a message (SNMP trap, e-mail, syslog) in case of a crash automatically.

If the monitored IP devices are powered by the ePowerSwitch they can be automatically restarted. With the ePowerSwitch 4 flexible and affordable solutions for power management of servers or other devices are possible. The areas of application are not only limited to the IT environment.

Management

The management and control of the device using the integrated web server through the web browser is quite simple. Moreover, it is possible to send switching commands via a connected KVM switch or a terminal console.

Authentication 
All current ePowerSwitch devices use a nonce (cryptographic nonce) and a hash function for authentication so the access cannot be reconstructed or manipulated. To support fully encrypted transmission of data corresponding devices are available (eg. ePowerSwitch 8XM+/32 or VizioGuard). 

User accounts 
The administrator can create up to 40 user accounts with different rights via the web interface. Access to the webserver is protected by 32-character user names and passwords. In addition, up to 40 users may simultaneously access the ePowerSwitch and all connected xBus peripherals. 

Grouping of power outlets 
The grouping of power outlets allows a server with redundant power supplies or multiple devices to be turned on/off with a command sent through a web browser or by SNMP.

Programmable rules 
Up to 32 rules can be configured to monitor analog values and digital inputs. Pre-programmed actions will be triggered on alarm state which will switch eg. relay or sockets. Optional e-mails, SNMP traps or syslog messages can be sent. 

Timer and scheduler 
The device offers the possibility to automatically operate the power outlets by a timer and/or a scheduler function. Individual power outlets but also groups will be turned on/off at defined times. It is also possible to automatically send an e-mail, SNMP traps and syslog messages with the scheduler. By using an internet connection the option to trigger an action on remote ePowerSwitch devices is given.

Designations 
Up to 32 characters long names can be set to all devices and sensors connected. This unique identification simplifies the programming of rules, groups and the associated actions. 

Online help 
An intuitive interface and context-sensitive online help allow administrators to quickly enable various and powerful features of the system. Detailed instructions and explanations are listed in the operating instructions.
