The above listed netBooter™ systems provide secure and versatile power reboot management
access for communication equipment such as routers, switches, and network devices. They are also
the ideal assistant devices for engineering development and test applications. Key features include:
Local Master Port access: offers data rates from 2400 to 115200 bits/second and optional
hardware handshaking (CTS/RTS). There are two operation modes for the port: Console
Transparent Mode and System Control Mode.

User’s Manual
Synaccess Networks, Inc. www.synaccess-net.com (760) 930 –0473 Page 6 of 46
Three user privilege login levels: The Administration level manages system configuration
and unconditional access to all power outlets and all serial ports. The User level allows each
user to reserve and manage his/her own ports, as well as to change most of system
configuration settings. Anonymous users are able to view allsettings and operate unreserved
power outlets and serial console ports.
User name and password for each port: Each port is user name and password protected.
Line commands or menu configuration controls: Menu table operation offers
user-friendly operation methods that are used for changing system configurations, viewing
run time statuses, and issuing controls. Line commands provide quick and easy operations.
Telnet access: Remote access the system over a TCP/IP network for configuration and
control of the systems.
Out of band Modem access interfacing: Control and configure the system via a telephone
line. Optional custom Modem AT command string to the Modem.
HTTP web access: Embedded web server provides secured user name and password
authentication. The operations are easy and friendly, utilizing tables and graphical icons.
Download SNMP MIB files for convenience, or view an online help manual.
SNMP MIB capability: An SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent is
integrated in the system for an exchangeof management information between the system and
network devices.
POP/SMTP Emailing with SMTP Authentication capability: A user can send control
commands such as reboot power outlet via emails. Command execution reports are replied
for each command email received. SMTP user name and password are protected through
authentication process.
SNMP Trap for sending logging message: The Trap is used to asynchronously report
events to the NMS. It forwards power reboot command execution information to the remote
Trap logging receiver.
1,2 What you can do with the system:
Remote equipment power source management over TCP/IP networks, including rebooting
user equipment, and permanently turning on/off user power source. Schedule power reboots
or power source on/off events monthly, weekly, daily or at any time an application requires.
Reboot power source to equipment when a network connection is lost.
Monitoring AC Power Consumptions and sending warning messages when the aggregated
AC draw from a system is crossed predefined threshold.
Remote control anywhere by emailing. Via emails, you are able to manage the systems or
user communication equipment power sources when LAN access is impossible. Via emails,

you can send user data to the NP control commands such as rebooting user power source.
Reply emails are sent after the system intercepts incoming emails so that you are informed
with the operation status.
AutoPing and reboot user equipment. Connect your system to a power outlet and assign the
system network IP address or URL. The NP system will ping the user equipment
periodically (in every 15 seconds). If the user equipment stops responding the ping request,
the equipment will be power rebooted.
Scheduling AC outlet power cycling periodically or per weekly planner. Eachoutlet canbe programmed
with it’s own timer.

This is also a service port for the user to configure and change system operation settings.
8. Ethernet Port (RJ45, 10 base-T):
10 based-T Ethernet port for connection to LAN.
9. Manual Switch:
Outlet power output switch. Momentarily pressing down the button to index to the desired
outlet. Pressing down for 3 seconds to toggle the outlet power state. This switch is
equipped on NP08 and NP-16 systems.
10. Audio Alarm Off Switch:
To temporarily turn off the audio alarm when aggregated AC current draw crosses over the
defined threshold. This control switch is equipped on NPB-20 system.
