Power Management over IP or USB
The unit is a power distribution unit (PDU) with a built-in web server. It enables the user to individually control up to four devices connected to its outlets, either over IP or USB.
It supports the main protocols used in the IT environment, such as HTTP, DHCP, SNMP, SMTP, SNTP, and Syslog.
The internal real-time clock enables automatic and precise triggering of scheduled actions and the time-stamping of all events, such as logs, SNMP traps, and Syslog events.
IP Monitoring with Auto-Reboot
PSE544 is more than a simple power switch; it offers IP device monitoring with an automatic reboot function in case of lock-up. So your router or IP camera will no longer be blocked for hours or days waiting for your manual restart action.
