Serial iBootBar v090212d
General Overview
8 Independently controllable outlets
The Serial iBootBar (sBB) series is designed to provide power distribution
and remote power control. Each sBB allows eight outlets to be
independently switched on and off for reboot, energy management and
security. The sBB has many features to make the management of power
distribution simple and cost effective:
Serial RS-232 Control
RS-232 serial control allows for direct control of the sBB outlets, and
complete setup of all parameters. Serial parameters are completely
configurable.
Contact Closure Control
Each outlet is associated with a discrete input that can be connected to
a physical switch or relay. Changing the state of the input will operate
the outlet. Outlets are individually configurable for On and Off state
relative to contact closed or open.
Dual power inputs for redundant
power feeds (some models)
Models with dual inputs (sBB-2N- or sBB-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.
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.
Grouping of outlets for simultaneous
management
Multiple outlets can be linked together in named groups and managed
together. Example: power cycling all devices of a certain type together.
