iBootBar V1.5x
General Overview
8 Independently controllable outlets
The iBootBar (iBB) series is designed to provide power distribution and
remote power control. Each iBB allows eight outlets to be
independently switched on and off for reboot, energy management and
security. The iBB has many features to make the management of
power distribution simple and cost effective:
Dual power inputs for redundant
power feeds (some models)
Models with dual inputs (iBB-2N- or iBB-2C-) have two inlets (mains).
Each main feeds four outlets Inlet A supports outlets 1-4 and Inlet B
feeds 5-8. Dual power inlet models can be used to support higher
current devices, as each inlet can carry its rated load, doubling the
amperage of a single inlet device. Dual Inlet models can also be used
to source power from two redundant sources, with each source feeding
a power supply of a single device.
Support for dual redundant powered
devices
In addition to two power sources, pairs of outlets can be linked together
to allow simultaneous control. This allows a single command to power
down devices with dual redundant power supplies.
Web Browser Control
Simple web browser interface is easy to use and provides complete
status information and control of the outlets, and groups.
Telnet/Serial CLI control
Telnet and serial access use the same Command Line Interface (CLI )
structure and syntax to completely configure the iBootBar, or multiple
iBootBars in a cluster configuration.
Multiple users with assigned rights
and simultaneous control
Up to 16 users can be assigned administrator or user only rights, plus
access to specific outlets and groups. Users only see the outlets and
groups they are assigned to.
Multiple iBootBar
Cluster Configuration
Up to 16 iBootBars can be linked together and controlled from a single
web or CLI interface. One master iBootBar provides the
communication to the users and continuously receives status
information from the rest of the iBootBars in the cluster. Up to 128
outlets can be controlled in this manner from one IP address.
Grouping of outlets for simultaneous
management
Multiple outlets, across multiple iBootBars in clustered configurations
can be linked together in named groups and managed together. This
allows for example, power cycling all devices of a certain type together.
AutoPing for automatic reboot of
crashed systems
Up to 16 systems can be continuously monitored with AutoPing, with
automatic power control upon loss of contact. Reboot crashed
systems, or provide auto power-up or –down for environmental
controls, and notification systems.
Real-Time event control
Set automatic power actions based on your schedule. Restart systems
every day to reduce memory bloat. Power up resources only when
needed for energy management, lifecycle extension or security.
Internal Modem Option, Data or DTMF
Control (some models)
Models with Suffix –M have internal modems with approvals in 36
countries. The modem supports data calls from terminal devices using
the CLI, and direct dial from a tone telephone for simple on/off control
when more sophisticated means are not available.
