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

Independent Power: One-to-one ratio between power input, IPM and device
eliminates single point-of-failure.
Greater Distance: Each IPM can be up to 1000’ from the PT45 Commander.
Mixed Amperage: 10-Amp & 20-Amp IPMs to control both servers & network gear.
Mixed Voltage: 110V, 230V & -48 VDC IPMs can be controlled from one PT45.

The 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.
Remote Power Management of the PT45’s distributed IPM’s allows a network manager to power off, power on and reboot network devices from any location via secure telnet, a secure web session or secure out-of-band session. Now the network operations center can eliminate dispatching a field service person for manual intervention. Using Sentry Commander they can quickly restart locked-up remote severs & internetworking devices to ensure that the network is fully operational around the clock.

Field-Replaceable Global Secure Modem

The PT45 features 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.

Solution for CPE and Data Center Environments

Especially useful for accessing Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), the PT45 is ideal for servers and routers in remote wiring closets, providing access to both reboot a remote device and connect to its console port to monitor its boot-up process and ensure it returns to an operational state.
