is a power distribution and control unit that enables remote power control over IP
or locally through an RS-232 Terminal connection.
Its serial interface can be used to control the power outlets over a Terminal connection (KVM Switch,
console server...) or to trigger a soft shutdown of a server with shutdown capabilities. An internal Real
Time Clock enables to trigger scheduled actions and timestamp all events (logs, SNMP traps and
Syslog events).
