Remote Power Cycle Switch Equipment allows you to remotely reboot any of your servers or connected devices.
POWER CYCLE NETWORK DEVICES FROM ANYWHERE
The PCU8 is a remote reboot device that controls up to 8 devices by simply turning the power off, waiting a desired period of time, and then turning power on. The PCU8 takes its commands from a serial interface. When the PCU8 is integrated with a Lightwave ConsoleServer (Model 800, 1620, or 3200) it can also receive its commands from the network or optional modem connection. The PCU8 also has front-panel switches for local power control of attached devices.
When more than 8 devices need to be controlled, the PCU8 can be cascaded with additional units, to control up to 72 devices using a common user interface. Simple commands are entered into the password-protected system, and the System Administrator has complete control of the connected devices. Reboot any individual device, a group of systems or peripherals, or all connected devices.
IDEAL FOR REMOTE UNMANNED SITES
The PCU8 uses solid state zero-crossing relays for silent switching of attached devices, friendly to manned environments. The zero crossing relays ensure that expensive equipment is not harmed by power spikes which can occur by merely "throwing a switch" or closing a relay. Programmed time delays for a progressive startup of controlled devices allows a smooth recovery. Power Failure Recovery ensures that no one has to be there to start up the network if a power failure occurs.
