The Secure Power Switch Satellite is a power distribution and control unit that enables power management of 8 devices through an RS232 or RS485 serial connection. If more than 8 power outlets are needed, this number of controlled power outlets can be extended by cascading the units using standard RJ45 CAT5 network cables. The control of the power outlets can be performed either through an Secure Power switch Master with built in web server or through a ServMON environmental monitoring system. Thanks to its dual RS232 and RS485 serial interfaces, this power distribution unit can be easily controlled through most of the KVM switches, a console server or any other equipment with an RS232 or RS485 serial interface.
On, off and restart functions
Each power outlet can be individually controlled through a RS232 or RS485 connection to turn ON, OFF or restart the connected equipment. Cascadable devices The PSE518SA can be chained with standard RJ45/CAT5 network cable allowing the control of up to 136 power outlets through one serial connection.
Secure Power Switch G2 and ServMon compatible
The secure Power Switch Satllites are intended to be used with Secure Power Switch G2 Master or ServMon XB to extend the number of controlled power outlets. These units supportind up to four or 16 Satellite units. Most of the KVM switches compatible Thanks to its dual serial interfaces and a simple command protocol, the Secure Power switch Satellite is the ideal solution to control power outlets through a KVM switch, a console server or a PC.
Two separate 10A power inputs
They allow the creation of two separate power supply circuits to control servers with redundant power supplies and provide a total power-delivering capability of 4600 VA.
Programmable power-up sequencing
This prevent tripping of the building's main circuit-breaker at start-up or after a power failure. It also allows to define the start-up order of the connected units (from 1 to 3600 s).
Firmware update over the serial port
The firmware of this product is updateable over the RS232 serial port. Configuration backup All the configuration data are stored in a non volatile memory.
Configuration and control over an easy-to-use interface
The switch can be easily configured and controlled through an RS232 or RS485
Terminal connection using ASCII IEC 320 C13 /EU (Schuko/Europe) commands.
All configuration settings are saved in a non-volatile memory The ASCII commands enable following functions:
- Control of each power outlet
- Read out the status of each power outlet
- Set the power up delay of each power outlet
- Read out the power up delay of each power outlet
- Set the restart delay of each power outlet
- Read out the restart delay of each power outlet
- Set the power up default status
- Read out the power up default status
- Read out the switching counters of each power outlet
- Reset the switching counters of all power outlets
- Restore the factory settings
