ePowerSwitch-M8 Master is a power control unit that enables remote power control of 8 devices over Intranet, Internet or locally through an RS-232 serial connection.
Th nuber of the conrolled Power outlets can be extended up to 40 by cascading up to 4 Slaves models

Benefits:

+ Remote power control of up to 40 power outlets.
+ Dual power input allows increasing total load and security.
+ Outlet grouping.
+ Power-up sequencing avoids in-rushes currents at start-up.
+ Access protected by names and passwords (1 administrator and up to 40 user accounts).
+ Free definable labels for the device and each power outlet.
+ Easy and fast configuration.
+ Occupies only 1U of rack space.
+ Status LEDs for both AC sources and power outlets.

Features:

On, Off and Restart functions
Each power outlet can be turned On/Off or restarted over IP or through an RS-232 serial connection. The number of controlled outlets can be extended up to 40 by cascading 4 Slave models.

Two separate AC Power Inputs
To improve the security and increase the total current load, the ePowerSwitch-M8 has two separate power inputs. The first one provides power for plugs 1 to 4 and the second one for plugs 5 to 8.This feature is ideal for power management of servers with redundant power supplies.

Twin Mode
The twin mode allows you to control in one shot a pair of power outlets (intended for servers with redundant power supplies).

IP Security
Two passwords levels: the administator password allows configuration and access to all power outlets and 8 user passwords allow access only to the power outlets for which the user has rights.
8 security masks allow you to grant or deny access to only a specific IP address or a group of IP adresses.

Restart Delay
This delay, which applies to the restart activity at all power outlets, can be chosen between 5 and 60 seconds between off/on.

Sequential power up/down
Avoids the risk for a power inrush to blow a fuse or circuit breaker in the data centre.

Labels
To avoid confusions, the administrator can define a label to each device and its eight power outlets.

Easy configuration
The configuration can be done through a serial console interface or a convenient Windows tool which provides an easy and quick way to configure your ePowerSwitch, especially by the first settings of the Network parameters.
