The black 2-Port Switched IP PDU Power Switch w/ RS232 Console and Sensor Ports from StarTech is a single-phase remotely managed power distribution unit that lets you monitor and control power to two connected devices over a local IP network or the Internet to reduce downtime. For simple remote administration, the IP PDU lets you monitor and control your connected equipment, without having to dispatch service personnel to the physical location of your devices. Along with global outlet controls, each individual outlet can be switched on/off independently, power cycled for immediate reboot or rebooted with timed delays, ensuring you have the control you need.
The PDU includes an RJ-45 sensor port, allowing you to connect up to four Dry Contact Input sensors and configure alerts for status changes. For additional flexibility, this model also has an integrated microphone to detect abnormal noise in the environment, and a vibration sensor, both with configurable alerts. The integrated console port lets you connect a UPS (APC Smart UPS series) via standard RS232 to remotely monitor connection and battery status. With a user-friendly web interface, this versatile IP power switch provides several features to help you effectively manage your devices. Features include Auto-Ping functions to detect failed network equipment and perform a power-cycle automatically, per-outlet scheduled power operations and notification of power events through email, SMS or SNMP traps.Console port connects to a UPS via RS232 for monitoring connection status, voltage, and battery life
