Sentry Power Tower XL
Sentry Power Tower XL Remote Reboot

Sentry Power Tower XL HTML interface for Full Control & Configuration of all outlets, settings and user accounts!

The Sentry Power Tower XL (PTXL) combines intelligent power distribution, remote management, power monitoring and environmental monitoring into a single solution. The PTXL remote power manager is a fully integrated Solution for Data Center Equipment Cabinets and is secured with SSL and SSH encryption.

Designed for enclosed-cabinets or open-racks, the PTXL supports up to 1, 2, 3 or 4 20-amp or 30-amp power input feeds and up to 32 power outlet-receptacles. For cabinets with high-density servers, this remote power manager delivers unparalleled solutions.

The PTXL provides Remote Power Management of each power receptacle - individually or as a selected group - from any location via TCP/IP using a Telnet CLI, an HTML GUI or SNMP management. The exclusive Outlet Group Control feature of the power outlet-receptacles from two different power circuits allows a user to easily reboot a dual-power supply server or other device with a single command.

Integrate Console Port Management with the Sentry Commander PT49. The serial console is the only universal out-of-band management media for all the equipment in the data center. It has the ability to access servers for remote monitoring and communications for applications such as BIOS configuration, boot-prompt level access or remote configuration. Or, connect to the configuration port (console or auxiliary port) on network equipment such as routers, switches, hubs and access servers.

The PTXL is available either in a "zero U" vertical or "rack-mount" horizontal form factor. All models provide advanced Power Distribution & Measurement with Remote Management via TCP/IP.  

Power Tower XL Key Features & Benefits

Power Tower XL Remote Outlet Grouping & Control: Assign outlets to a group for control of dual-power supply servers and other gear with a single command. Create an unlimited number of groups with any combination of outlets associated to each group. 

Power Tower XL Power-up Sequencing: Prevent a power in-rush from overloading the power circuit. In the event of a power loss, this key feature prevents all power-outlet receptacles from powering on at once - averting the potential for a power in-rush to blow a fuse or circuit breaker in the data center. Instead, the power-outlet receptacles power-on in two-second intervals, allowing each device to safely boot-up. Power-up sequencing is a default hardware setting. User adjustable. 

Power Tower XL Add a Second Tower - the PTXM: Connect the Power Tower Expansion Module (PTXM) to the PTXL to control two power input circuits and 32 managed outlets (individual or groups) - our exclusive strategy for managing dual power-supply servers.

Power Tower XL High-Amp In-Rush Protection:  High-Amp In-rush relays accommodate the extremely high power in-rush spikes from today's switching power supplies. 

Power Tower XL True RMS Input Current Monitoring: Input Current Monitoring in Sentry power products is reported as the cumulative load (in amps) on each power circuit so that data center managers can obtain the data they need to plan their power requirements and to monitor power to their IT equipment. Input Current is reported in Amps and can be viewed locally on the enclosure via an LED Digital Display and remotely, when applicable, via the firmware interface.

Power Tower XL HTTP/HTTPs Web Configuration & Control: Use the Sentry Web interface to configure each unit, including network settings, outlet naming & grouping, SNMP traps for environmental & power thresholds and firmware updates. Also use the Web interface to control individual or group outlets and monitor environmental conditions. SSL security provides a secure HTTPs connection.

Power Tower XL SSL Web Browser: Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a commonly-used protocol for managing the security of a message transmission on the Internet. SSL is an integral part of most Web browsers (clients) and Web servers. Sentry supports SSLv3/TLSv1.

Power Tower XL SSH management:  Secure Shell (SSH), sometimes known as Secure Socket Shell, is a Unix-based command interface and protocol for securely getting access to a remote device. Sentry supports SSHv2.

Power Tower XL SNMP Management: The Sentry family of products supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This allows network management systems to use SNMP requests to retrieve information and control power for the individual outlets. The Sentry includes an SNMP v1 agent supporting standard MIB I and MIB II objects. A private enterprise MIB extension (Sentry3 MIB) is also supported to provide remote power control. 

Power Tower XL Active Directory with LDAP: Active Directory, a directory service for Windows 2000/2003, is a centralized and standardized system that automates network management of user data, security, and distributed resources, and enables interoperation with other directories. Active Directory is designed especially for distributed networking environments.

It includes support for the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to enable inter-directory operability.

Power Tower XL Rack-Mount or Zero U Enclosure: Available models in either "horizontal" 17" Rack-Mount (with mounting brackets for 19" cabinet rails) or "vertical" Zero U Enclosure (includes mounting brackets).

Power Tower XL Authentication:  16-character Username & Password required for network administrators & user accounts. Multiple user accounts can be established with access rights only to designated outlets.

Power Tower XL RS-232 Control: Serial control via any device with a bi-directional serial port, including a PC, laptop, KVM switch, Console Port Access switch, or terminal server.

Power Tower XL Telnet Management:  Telnet is a user command and an underlying TCP/IP protocol for accessing remote computers.

Power Tower XL Optional Secure Global Modem:  An optional field-replaceable global secure modem that supports 56Kbps operation, Call-Back Security, and remote configuration. It is approved for use in 48 countries. Additionally, the internal modem option and Pass-Thru Port Access can eliminate multiple modems and dial-up lines and the need for an expensive terminal server. (Available in Sentry "horizontal" rack-mount models.)  

Power Tower XL Multiple Concurrent Users:  Multiple concurrent users allows several users to be logged into a Sentry at the same time. In this way, different users, with access rights to only their equipment, can reboot their device(s) when they need to, without waiting for another user to log out of the Sentry unit.

Power Tower XL 24-Character Outlet Receptacles Names:  Use the firmware interface (Web or serial) to edit individual outlet receptacles. Identify each receptacle with the device's serial number, ip address, asset allocation #, department or any other method to individually name outlets.

Power Tower XL LED Digital Display Input Current Monitor:  Easy viewing display on the face of the enclosure that reports the True RMS Power Monitoring of the aggregate load on the power circuit (in amps). The Input Current Display allows installation engineers to verify the real-time current draw on the power circuit. This eliminates the guesswork of estimating the current draw and prevents the costly mistake of: 1) overestimating and requiring extra power drops installed or 2) underestimating and overloading a circuit - putting the enter cabinet at risk if a circuit breaker at the main PDU trips.

Power Tower XL 20-Amp Power Input Support:  20-amp Power Input Support. IEC320/C20 power inlet receptacles supports any power cord with IEC320/C19 power connector (PTCORD-XX).

Power Tower XL 30-Amp Power Input Support:  30-amp Power Input Support. Hard-wired with 10'cord and appropriate L5-30 or L6-30 plug type.

Power Tower XL Integrate Environmental Monitoring:  The EMCU integrates easily with the Power Tower XL, or other Sentry Remote Power Manager. Locate the EMCU in an equipment cabinet with a PTXL, link it to the PTXL and view temperature, humidity, water sensing and dry contact closures from the same PTXL interface you use to manage & monitor the power.
