Introduction
What
MasterSwitch
plus
can do for you
MasterSwitch plus allows you to individually control power to connected
equipment and gracefully shut down or reboot up to eight connected
servers of different operating systems. In order to manage your system
effectively and efficiently, MasterSwitch plus:
• allows you to configure three password-protected accounts that
ensure restricted access to system-, device-, and outlet-level
services.
• automatically shuts down connected servers attached to an APC
UPS when the UPS enters an on-battery state and turns off
connected equipment after the server confirms shutdown.
• shuts down servers before cycling power to the connected
equipment (Graceful Reboot).
• controls eight on-board power outlets for complete and flexible
management of connected equipment.
• manages connected equipment through Web, Control Console, or
SNMP interfaces.
• can power-down connected equipment outlet by outlet to conserve
battery backup power.
• allows users to configure the sequence in which outlets receive
power upon start-up.
• connects serially to up to three expansion units (AP9225EXP),
providing control of 32 connected devices with one IP address.
• provides MD5 security—enhanced security for remote access
through the World Wide Web.
• includes full SNMP support for all outlet and unit properties.
• offers Event Logging for descriptions of events that occur with
MasterSwitch plus.
