ATEN Power Over IP (Power Over the NET™) products offer outlet level control combined with remote access to give IT administrators the ability to power control devices attached to the unit from practically any location via a TCP/ IP connection. With support for realtime power status measurement, Power Over IP devices enable administrators to monitor the current, voltage and power consumption of their IT equipment, either at the PDU or outlet level, minimizing the power cost of running their equipment; and ensuring high levels of system availability for server rooms of all sizes.

A real-time measuring feature, coupled with a threshold alarm, keeps you informed of the operating status of all your attached equipment. Warning messages regarding triggered alarms can be sent via an SMTP server or SMS via the unit's Digital Output port. Power Over IP devices also provide sensor ports for temperature and humidity monitoring and threshold alarm message notification. IT administrators are able to easily and conveniently monitor and power control connected devices – remotely if necessary – by means of a browserbased UI, thereby minimizing maintenance costs and ensuring 24/7 reliability for their server room operations.

ATEN Power Over IP products can be daisy-chained to manage even more devices, so your server room management can expand in step with your company's growth. In a daisy-chained installation, administrators can remotely monitor and control the power status of a server that has a dual power supply from a single portal, by connecting its power cords to the outlets of separate level units (so they can receive power from separate sources). For ease of management, when Power Over IP devices are deployed in conjunction with other ATEN products, administrators can access them all from the same user interface. When a Power Over IP device is integrated in a CC (Control Center Over the NET™) management software installation, the power outlet of an IT device can be associated with its KVM port and displayed on the same CC web page. This allows IT administrators to completely control an IT device from a single user interface.

Not all products support these features. Please see the table below.

ATEN's Power Over IP products are designed with up to 20 outlets for easy server room management. Each outlet can be individually controlled so that users can set the power on/ off sequence and delay time for each outlet separately, so that equipment to can be turned on in the proper order. On/Off scheduling allows administrators to configure start, shutdown, and restart times on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

With PDU/Outlet level metering, IT administrators can easily monitor the real-time current, voltage, and power consumption status of all connected IT equipment via a browser-based UI. With the addition of temperature and humidity sensors, even the status of the rack environment can be monitored from just about anywhere in the world.

By simply clicking a button on the browser-based UI, administrators can power control the connected devices with ease. There is no longer any need to move around the server room turning equipment on and off. Outlet level remote switching ensures that the server room operates smoothly.

The Power Over IP supports external, environment sensors that allow administrators to monitor temperature and humidity remotely. IT administrators can set environment thresholds to identify critical value and take preventive actions before a system failure occurs – thereby helping to obtain the highest degree of availability for all mission-critical equipment.

The Power Over IP permits server room administrators to set custom thresholds for current, voltage, power consumption, humidity, and temperature. When levels exceed the user defined thresholds, designated recipients can receive alarm notifications via SMTP email, SNMP traps, or SMS sender (connected to the Digital Output port). An audio alarm can also sound and lights with blink at the local site. Necessary steps can be taken to avoid equipment damage due to such things as circuit overload – reducing mean time to recovery and minimizing loss.

Combining with ALTUSEN's CC (Control Center Over the NET™) management software gives IT administrators the advantages of centralized control over the entire Power Over IP installation, as well as all other Over IP products from a single user interface. By associating the KVM port, serial port and power outlet of an IT device, all the ports can be presented on the same web page for convenient access and management.

The ATEN Power Over IP can be integrated with multiple ALTUSEN devices to provide a single interface point – the switch’s interface – allowing IT administrators to control servers or serial devices at the same time as they control their power management. For KVM switches that support the Power Association function, a KVM port can be associated with a power outlet.

The ATEN Power Over IP supports daisy-chaining and outlet groups to provide redundant power management. Equipment with dual power supplies can be assigned to outlet groups for convenient control. Since up to 15 additional units can be daisy chained from the master unit, IT administrators can connect a server’s power cords to different units - each of which is connected to a separate power source - for failsafe operation. Management efficiency is also increased, since the power status of both outlets can be monitored and controlled from the same portal.

To control even more devices, up to 15 additional stations can be daisy-chained. We at ATEN understand that your business may start conservatively and need to expand over time. Daisy chain expansion allows you to manage a small number of devices in the beginning, and easily add on when your business needs increase. ATEN's Power Over IP products offer flexible solutions for businesses of all sizes. More importantly, they offer solutions for your future.

Built-in overcurrent protection and recovery saves your money by eliminating costly onsite service calls. With Power Over IP products, you have the ability to access your server room any time and deal with any situation that may occur – entirely immediately and effectively.
