RPS Remote Power Switch
When an important network element at a remote equipment site suddenly ceases to respond and takes your network down with it, often all it takes to get the network back on its feet again is a simple power reboot. But what if that troublesome network element is located in another state, or on the other side of the world? Suddenly, a power reboot doesn’t seem all that simple anymore … unless the network equipment rack in question includes a remote power switch.

A remote power switch provides a secure, reliable means to switch power on network equipment and other devices at remote installation sites, without an expensive service call or truck roll. Instead of dealing with the flood of angry calls from network users while you wait for your service team to reach a distant network equipment cabinet, you can have your network back up and running in no time by simply contacting the remote power switch and issuing a simple power on/off or reboot command … without even leaving your office or breaking a sweat.
Supports Both IPv4 and IPv6
In order to prepare for the upcoming switchover to IPv6 protocol, all WTI Remote Power Switches now provide full support for both IPv4 and IPv6 (the intended successor to IPv4.) This helps to ensure that WTI Remote Power Switches purchased today will be fully compatible with the planned IPv6 internet environment, and will not be rendered obsolete when the IPv6 protocol eventually becomes the new worldwide standard for network communications.
