Switched PDUs
APN-100-010
If a router, server or other device is
locked up, pressing CTRL+Z (or any
other user selectable key) from within
the console server screen brings up a
menu allowing the operator to cycle
power to that unit.
Alternatively, the Sentry Switched PDU
outlets may be accessed with a few
clicks from the Digi Passport's simple
web-based graphical interface.
Both methods offer quick and easy
access to the Server Technology Sentry
Cabinet Power Distribution Units and
related power management features
from the Digi Passport interface.
In-band and out-of-band access of network devices such as routers, switches and servers are critical in designing and maintaining
robust data centers. Console servers offer a secure and auditable method for gaining access to these devices through either a
web-based interface, or a serial or modem connection when the network is down or unavailable.
Another key piece in managing a data center is the ability to monitor and control power distribution to those devices from a cabinet
level. The Digi Passport console server is designed to interact with the Server Technology Sentry Switched PDU and provide
remote power management and reboot without ever having to leave the Digi Passport interface.
Benefits
The Digi Passport connected to Server Technology's Sentry PDUs provides secure remote access to both the console ports of
networked equipment and the power controls of the PDU through either in-band or out-of-band connections. Access to the Server
Technology Sentry PDU remote reboot features are made directly through the Digi Passport console without a separate login and
password. The Digi Passport provides advanced auditing and logging capabilities to meet Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and other
compliance requirements.
