I post these items from time to time to the users list because I feel
they are useful to general Asterisk users. I have no affiliation with
this company and do not profit in anyway besides helping others that
may be helped.

Again, if more people object to these occasional posts, I will refrain
from posting.

Anyways, I have equipment at a CoLo that I could not justify putting
in KVMoIP and really only need a reboot if machine is "locked-up". I
found a product called a "Webswitch" that can only control two outlets
and that ran ~$200. This is a much better deal and is rackmount and
seems much more suited to a nice clean data center with higher
capacity.

I just purchased one to replace the webswitch (going to be used for
home use) because I have many more than two devices at my colo now.

Thanks,

Ethernet or dialup it seems (as well as automated ping/no reply
programmed reboots.) So it has a browser, modem, outlets, ethernet
ports, RS232.

It seems like you could use this unit to access a box that only has an
RS232 connection remotely, rather than connecting it to a server in
the same rack, so it must have hyperterm functionality too...

Again, I just ordered so I cannot say how good this unit actually is
or comment on anything beyond the claimed functionality.

If a PDU is just a power strip then this has many more bells and
whistles. My usage is being able to control power to those outlets to
reboot or turn on/off equipment if it is hung or whatever other
reason.

Thanks,
