5. General Overview

The iBootBar (iBB) series is designed to provide power
distribution and remote power control. Each iBB allows eight
outlets to be independently switched on and off for reboot,
energy management and security. The iBB has many features
to make the management of power distribution simple and cost
effective:
Simple web browser interface is easy to use and provides
complete status information and control of the outlets, and
groups.
Telnet and serial access use the same Command Line
Interface (CLI ) structure and syntax to completely configure the
iBootBar, or multiple iBootBars in a cluster configuration.
Up to 16 users can be assigned administrator or user only
rights, plus access to specific outlets and groups. Users only
see the outlets and groups they are assigned to.
Up to 16 iBootBars can be linked together and controlled from a
single web or CLI interface. One master iBootBar provides the
communication to the users and continuously receives status
information from the rest of the iBootBars in the cluster. Up to
128 outlets can be controlled in this manner from one IP
address.
Multiple outlets, across multiple iBootBars in clustered
configurations can be linked together in named groups and
managed together. This allows for example, power cycling all
devices of a certain type together.
Up to 16 systems can be continuously monitored with
AutoPing, with automatic power control upon loss of contact.
Reboot crashed systems, or provide auto power-up or –down
for environmental controls, and notification systems.
Set automatic power actions based on your schedule. Restart
systems every day to reduce memory bloat. Power up
resources only when needed for energy management, lifecycle
extension or security.
Models with Suffix –M have internal modems with approvals in
36 countries. The modem supports data calls from terminal
devices using the CLI, and direct dial from a tone telephone for
simple on/off control when more sophisticated means are not
available.
Setup and Control functions can be linked to any SNMP v1
compatible manager. The iBootBar MIB is downloadable from
the website.
