The ioPower provides 8 AC power outlets and can be deployed alone with a host PC for serial power control of any AC-powered devices. The ioPower proves to be a reliable and convenient remote power control solution that offers cost-effective power control solution to enterprise-level customers.

To control your AC-powered devices, you only need to tap them to any of ioPower’s 8 power output outlets and then connect the ioPower to a host PC installed with the Power Management software.  To power on/off the connected AC-powered devices, you only need to press the front-panel button (press and hold for 5 seconds); or you can use the power management software. The software is installed on a host PC and provides a virtual front-panel that allows user to click to power on/off any connected devices. It also provides timer function to preset the destined power on/off time or power-up duration for each of your devices.

The ioPower is also capable of cascading with multiple downstream units into a daisy-chain configuration to maximize the port capacity up to one hundred more. Thus you can easily control up to hundred of AC-powered devices and/or servers.

ioPower as KLE Accessory for Serial Power Control
When your servers or network devices just locked up and stopped responding, it can only be salvaged by cycling power off and on for a reboot. As simple as this reboot procedure can be, it nevertheless requires the admin to attend the server room just to switch the power off and on again. But what if the admin is worlds away from the server room and yet has to respond to this server lock up immediately? Well, an IP-based KVM Extender/IP KVM Switch such as KLE, with a remote power control module, such as ioPower, might be the right and the only reliable solution....
In this servers crisis management infrastructure, KLE offers an anytime anywhere access and control platform to your remote servers, and ioPower is the indispensable power control unit that enables the forced power on/off and power cycling capability from authorized remote clients.
To enable the remote power management capability of your IP-based KVM Switch Solution, ioPower is your right choice for a remote power on/off control of your remote servers, networking devices or other AC-powered devices via ASCII commands sent over serial connection.
ioPower works seamlessly with KLE's viewer interface to implement a total power control of your server room anytime anywhere in the world. The server admin no longer has to call the server room to help switch off and on the sever power ever again.
