1. Introduction
Electronic equipment sometimes "locks-up," requiring a service call just to flip
the power switch to perform a simple reboot. The NBB-1600-D20,
NBB-1600E-D20 and NBB-1600CE-D16 Network Boot Bars give you the
ability to perform this function from anywhere, just point your browser to the
NBB’s IP address, enter the secure user name and password, and you’re just a
click away from remote power On, Off or Reboot!
20 Amp Power Control
The NBB D20 and D16 series Network Boot Bars provide plenty of power for
rack mount applications; the NBB-1600-D20 and NBB-1600E-D20 feature
two separate 20 Amp power circuits, and provide a total of 40 Amps per unit.
The NBB-1600CE-D16 features two 16 Amp power circuits, for a total of 32
Amps per unit.
Intelligent Power Control
In addition to web browser access, the NBB can also communicate over
any TCP/IP network using standard Telnet, or out-of-band using an external
modem and basic VT100 type terminal emulation.
Security Features and Co-Location Features
To ensure security, web browser access requires the user to enter an assigned
user name and password. The NBB provides two levels of operational
passwords; the System Administrator Level, which allows access to all
configuration and switching functions, and the User Level, which only allows
access to assigned plugs and cannot be used to change unit configuration.
In addition to password security features, the NBB also includes an address
specific IP security mask, which can be employed to prevent unauthorized
network access to the NBB command mode.
Easy to Configure, Easy to Use
The NBB can be configured over the network, via modem, or locally via the
NBB console port. Easy to use commands let you assign a location name, set
system parameters and view plug status. Outlets can be switched On, Off, or
booted using plug numbers or names.
