Introduction
Overview
The PN0108 Power Over the NET™ is a control unit that offers remote power
management for up to eight devices (computers, hubs, routers, etc.). When
connected to an ATEN or Altusen TCP/IP accessible module via its PON
(RS232) port – see the diagram below – it allows administrators from any
computer connected to the internet, whether down the hall, or half way around
the world – to control the power off, power on, and reboot status for each
attached device. See Supported Devices, page 69 for a list of compatible
ATEN/ALTUSEN devices.

For flexibility, the PON port can also be used to administer the PN0108 locally
via a serial terminal session.
Up to 15 additional PN0108 units can be daisy chained down from the original
unit, providing remote power management for up to 128 devices. Installation
is fast and easy: plugging cables into their appropriate ports and a simple setup
is all that is entailed.
Since the PN0108's firmware is upgradeable, you can stay current with the
latest functionality improvements simply by downloading firmware updates
from our website as they become available.
With its advanced features and ease of operation, the PN0108 is the most
convenient, most reliable, and most cost effective way to remotely manage
power access for multiple computer installations.

1 Port LEDs The Port LEDs provide status information about their
corresponding AC outlet ports. There is one pair of LEDs for each
port. The one on the left is the Remote Access LED; the one on
the right is the Power LED:
A Remote Access LED lights GREEN to indicate that the device
attached to its corresponding port is capable of being controlled
remotely.
A Power LED lights ORANGE to indicate that there is electricity
going to its corresponding outlet. The LED flashes under the
following conditions:
If Modem Ring Resume is enabled (see Modem Ring
Resume*, page 39), an outlet still receives electricity even
when its corresponding computer has been powered OFF.
The Power LED blinks OFF, then ON for 8 seconds, then
OFF, then ON for 8 seconds, etc., to indicate this situation.
When a power status change is pending, the LED flashes
until the change has taken place.
If both LEDs flash it indicates that there is either an overcurrent
situation, or the relay has failed. See Flashing Lightbulb,
page 33, for more details.
