发明名称 Remote power control system
摘要 An SNMP network comprises a power manager with an SNMP agent in TCP/IP communication over a network with an SNMP network manager. The power manager is connected to control several intelligent power modules each able to independently control the power on/off status of several network appliances. Power-on and load sensors within each intelligent power module are able to report the power status of each network appliance to the SNMP network manager with MIB variables in response to GET commands. Each intelligent power module is equipped with an output that is connected to cause an interrupt signal to the network appliance being controlled. The SNMP network manager is able to test which network appliance is actually responding before any cycling of the power to the corresponding appliance is tried.

主权项 1. A method of using a power manager application to control operating power supplied to a plurality of power outputs within an electrical power distribution system, the method comprising: providing, by at least a processor, a login interface having administrative capabilities; providing a power output identifying interface; providing an administrative grouping interface including a power outputs selection section that identifies a first sub-plurality of power outputs of said power outputs to be included in a first administrative group, and at least a second sub-plurality of power outputs of said power outputs to be included in at least a second administrative group; providing a configuration entry interface corresponding to the first administrative group; providing an administrative group manipulation interface to manipulate the first administrative group; determining another configuration corresponding to the second administrative group and providing an interface to manipulate the second administrative group; providing a digital current value interface to display a digital current value provided by a digital current value reporting system for the electrical power distribution system, wherein the electrical power distribution system has a power input and is connectable to provide power to one or more electrical loads in an electrical equipment rack, the digital current value reporting system being (i) in digital current value determining communication with at least one among the power input and said plurality of power outputs, and (ii) connectable in digital current value transfer communication with the power manager application; and providing an operating power control interface, including an administrative group operating power control section to control a supply of operating power to the power outputs in the administrative groups.
