Its just a PDU (power distribution unit) that has a web-interface (accessed via Ethernet)... it looks like it has the added bonus of having some RS232C ports that you can either attach a modem (to dial-into the device) or to connect to serial-console based equipment, like certain routers and switches so that you can access their serial console remotely. Essentially its the equivalent of the APC AP7902 - http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=AP7902 it has a couple feature differences, but for the most part they do the same thing. However, the cost is significantly less than than the APC model. I don't have any experience with either however. All in all it looks like a decent product... i'd be interested in hearing from anybody that might of been using them for a long period of time (1-2yrs+). I'm pretty picky about power distribution, i've seen bad power cause too many problems in my computing history. -- Matt Watson http://www.mattgwatson.ca _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
