Sentry Remote Reboot Solutions

Sentry Commander PT45

The Sentry Commander PT45 uniquely combines Remote Power Management and Pass-Thru Console Port Access into one enclosure and - distinctively - one interface. With this exclusive combination of features, a network manager can perform a remote server reboot or establish serial communications with a remote device.

Remote Power Management allows the user to perform a remote server reboot or to bounce the power to another network device. A network manager can power off, power on and reboot network devices from any location via SSL Web, SSH, SNMP, RS-232 or secure out-of-band session. 

Pass-Thru Port Access integrates secure, in-band and/or out-of-band serial connections to the console ports of up to 4 inter-networking devices for remote problem determination. The serial console is the only universal out-of-band management media for all the equipment in the data center. It has the ability to access servers for remote monitoring and communications for applications such as BIOS configuration, boot-prompt level access or remote configuration. Otherwise, connect to the configuration port (console or auxiliary port) on network equipment such as routers, switches, hubs and access servers.

The PT45 operates distributed Inline Power Modules (IPM's), which provide four distinct functional advantages:

1. Independent Power: One-to-one ratio between power input, IPM & device eliminates single point-of failure.

2. Greater distance: each IPM can be up to 1000'from the PT45 Commander.

3. Mixed-Amperage: 10-Amp and 20-Amp IPMs to control both severs & network gear.

4. Mixed Voltage: 110 VAC, 230 VAC and -48 VDC IPMs can be controlled from one PT45.

Sentry Commander PT45 Key Features & Benefits

Sentry Commander PT45 Remote Outlet Grouping & Control: Assign outlets to a group for control of dual-power supply servers and other gear with a single command. Create an unlimited number of groups with any combination of outlets associated to each group. 

Sentry Commander PT45 Power-up Sequencing: Prevent a power in-rush from overloading the power circuit. In the event of a power loss, this key feature prevents all power-outlet receptacles from powering on at once - averting the potential for a power in-rush to blow a fuse or circuit breaker in the data center. Instead, the power-outlet receptacles power-on in two-second intervals, allowing each device to safely boot-up. Power-up sequencing is a default hardware setting. User adjustable. 

Sentry Commander PT45 True RMS Input Current Monitoring: Input Current Monitoring in Sentry power products is reported as the cumulative load (in amps) on each power circuit so that data center managers can obtain the data they need to plan their power requirements and to monitor power to their IT equipment. Input Current is reported in Amps and can be viewed locally on the enclosure via an LED Digital Display and remotely, when applicable, via the firmware interface.

Sentry Commander PT45 HTTP/HTTPs Web Configuration & Control: Use the Sentry Web interface to configure each unit, including network settings, outlet naming & grouping, SNMP traps for environmental & power thresholds and firmware updates. Also use the Web interface to control individual or group outlets and monitor environmental conditions. SSL security provides a secure HTTPs connection.

Sentry Commander PT45 SSL Web Browser: Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a commonly-used protocol for managing the security of a message transmission on the Internet. SSL is an integral part of most Web browsers (clients) and Web servers. Sentry supports SSLv3/TLSv1.

Sentry Commander PT45 SSH management:  Secure Shell (SSH), sometimes known as Secure Socket Shell, is a Unix-based command interface and protocol for securely getting access to a remote device. Sentry supports SSHv2.

Sentry Commander PT45 SNMP Management: The Sentry family of products supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This allows network management systems to use SNMP requests to retrieve information and control power for the individual outlets. The Sentry includes an SNMP v1 agent supporting standard MIB I and MIB II objects. A private enterprise MIB extension (Sentry3 MIB) is also supported to provide remote power control. 

Sentry Commander PT45 SNMP Traps for Event Notification: SNMP traps can be generated for various events, including Input Current Load Thresholds (min & max), Temperature Thresholds (min & max), Humidity Thresholds (min & max), water indication, closed contacts (cabinet doors open/close), as well as notification of any time an outlet status is changed (on/off).

Sentry Commander PT45 with LDAP: LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a software protocol for enabling anyone to locate organizations, individuals, and other resources such as files and devices in a network, whether on the public Internet or on a corporate intranet.

Sentry firmware code 5.3b and newer includes support for LDAP v3 and is configurable to operate with any Directory Service. It has been tested with these Directory Services:

• Microsoft's Active Directory

• Novell's eDirectory

• Open LDAP

Sentry Commander PT45 Rack-Mount Enclosure: 1U and 2U "horizontal" rack-mount enclosures are 17" wide and include standard mounting brackets for 19" cabinet rails. 23" brackets also available.

Sentry Commander PT45 Authentication:  16-character Username & Password required for network administrators & user accounts. Multiple user accounts can be established with access rights only to designated outlets.

Sentry Commander PT45 RS-232 Control: Serial control via any device with a bi-directional serial port, including a PC, laptop, KVM switch, Console Port Access switch, or terminal server.

Sentry Commander PT45 Telnet Management:  Telnet is a user command and an underlying TCP/IP protocol for accessing remote computers.

Sentry Commander PT45 Optional Secure Global Modem:  An optional field-replaceable global secure modem that supports 56Kbps operation, Call-Back Security, and remote configuration. It is approved for use in 48 countries. Additionally, the internal modem option and Pass-Thru Port Access can eliminate multiple modems and dial-up lines and the need for an expensive terminal server. (Available in Sentry "horizontal" rack-mount models.)  

Sentry Commander PT45 Multiple Concurrent Users:  Multiple concurrent users allows several users to be logged into a Sentry at the same time. In this way, different users, with access rights to only their equipment, can reboot their device(s) when they need to, without waiting for another user to log out of the Sentry unit.

Sentry Commander PT45 24-Character Outlet Receptacles Names:  Use the firmware interface (Web or serial) to edit individual outlet receptacles. Identify each receptacle with the device's serial number, IP address, asset allocation #, department or any other method to individually name outlets.

Sentry Commander PT45 20-Amp Power Input Support:  20-amp Power Input Support. IEC320/C20 power inlet receptacles supports any power cord with IEC320/C19 power connector (PTCORD-XX).

Sentry Commander PT45 30-Amp Power Input Support:  30-amp Power Input Support. Hard-wired with 10'cord and appropriate L5-30 or L6-30 plug type.

Sentry Commander PT45 Integrate Environmental Monitoring:  The EMCU integrates easily with the Commander PT45, or other Sentry Remote Power Manager. Locate the EMCU in an equipment cabinet with a PT45, link it to the PT45 and view temperature, humidity, water sensing and dry contact closures from the same PT45 interface you use to manage & monitor the power.

Sentry Commander PT45 Branch Circuit Protection: 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.
