ServerTech Sentry Power Tower XM
The Sentry Power Tower Expansion Module (PTXM) is the exclusive
method for linking units on different power circuits together to
increase the density of managed outlets per IP address and to
managed group outlets on different power circuits.

Each PTXM links to a PTXL, which contains both network and serial
interfaces. When linked to a PTXL, the PTXM’s power outlets are
auto-discovered by the PTXL’s firmware, and all available outlets
are viewable and controllable through the firmware.
For most data centers, dual-power corded servers and network gear
have become the standard. With the PTXL & PTXM solution, each
dual-corded device can be grouped and rebooted via a power cycle to
that device. First, link the PTXL & PTXM together; the PTXL’s
firmware interface auto-discovered the PTXM’s outlets. Then, create
a group name for each dual-corded server and associate the outlets
on different power circuits with tat devices (i.e, A1 & B1). Next,
when a dual-corded device needs to be rebooted, log in to the PTXL
and choose that device’s group -– a single command to reboot
multiple outlets on different power circuits.
An unlimited number of groups can be created between the PTXL & PTXM.
Additionally, any combination of outlets between the PTXL & PTXM can
be associated with each group.
Remote Power Control
Individual or group outlet remote power control to cycle power and
reboot any selected server(s) or other network device(s). Use TCP/IP
(HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, SNMP) or RS-232 to communicate with each
Sentry and rectify locked-up network devices.
