Features The S20BLK Power Conditioner’s major features are described in the following paragraphs. Communications and Management A universal serial bus (USB) port, RS-232 port, and Network Management Card (embedded Web server) provide multiple methods for monitoring and managing the S20BLK, and the equipment connected to it. For example, unit installers can integrate the S20BLK into any home automation network, and “hung” devices can be rebooted from a remote location.
Network Management Card An Ethernet port is located on the S20BLK rear panel, and enables the S20BLK’s embedded Network Management Card (NMC) to connect to any Ethernet network. The NMC (Web server) enables users to remotely monitor and manage the S20BLK from any Web browser. All 12 outlets can be simultaneously turned OFF or ON via the NMC, but not independently. This capability will be available December 2006 by downloading the latest firmware from the APC Web site: www.apc.
Isolated Noise Filter Banks The S20BLK isolated noise filer banks (INFB) eliminate electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI and RFI) that, when severe enough, can negatively impact sound and video quality. Each filter bank is electrically isolated from the other filter banks to prevent noise generated by one component from polluting other connected components. APC's noise filtering helps enable your system to perform to its maximum capabilities.
