ioPower for Remote Power Control [ Cascadable Unit ]
ioPower can be used in standalone/Cascaded configuration
The ioPower provides 8 AC power outlets and can be deployed alone with a host PC for remote
power control of any AC-powered devices. The ioPower proves to be a reliable and convenient
remote power control solution that offers cost-effective power control solution to enterprise-level
customers.
To control your AC-powered devices, you only need to tap them to any of ioPower’s 8 power output
outlets and then connect the ioPower to a host PC installed with the Power Management software.
To power on/off the connected AC-powered devices, you only need to press the front-panel button
(press and hold for 5 seconds); or you can use the power management software. The software is
installed on a host PC and provides a virtual front-panel that allows user to click to power on/off any
connected devices. It also provides timer function to preset the destined power on/off time or
power-up duration for each of your devices.

The ioPower is also capable of cascading with multiple downstream units into a daisy-chain
configuration to maximize the port capacity up to one hundred more. Thus you can easily control up
to hundred of AC-powered devices and/or servers.

ioPower as Kripman Accessory for Remote Power Control
When your servers or network devices just locked up and stopped responding, it can only be
salvaged by cycling power off and on for a reboot. As simple as this reboot procedure can be, it
nevertheless requires the admin to attend the server room just to switch the power off and on again.
But what if the admin is worlds away from the server room and yet has to respond to this server
lock up immediately? Well, an IP-based KVM Switch such as Kripman, with a remote power control
module, such as
ioPower , might be the right and the only reliable solution....
In this servers crisis management infrastructure, Kripman offers an anytime anywhere access and
control platform to your remote servers, and i
oPower is the indispensable power control unit that
enables the forced power on/off and power cycling capability from authorized remote clients.
To enable the remote power management capability of your IP-based KVM Switch Solution,
ioPower
is your right choice for a remote power on/off control of your remote servers, networking devices or
other AC-powered devices via ASCII commands sent over serial connection.
ioPower works seamlessly with Kripman's viewer interface to implement a total power control of
your server room anytime anywhere in the world. The server admin no longer has to call the server
room to help switch off and on the sever power ever again.
