GSM Remote AC Power Switch/ Reboot (Model: WT-215)

The WT-215  is a GSM remote control AC power outlet that connects to the mobile / cell phone network and like a mobile phone has its own telephone number, the equipment connected to it is controlled by calling or sending the unit SMS text messages.

The WT-215 has a mains AC power socket that the equipment to be powered and controlled is plugged into, and an AC power supply cable that plugs into an AC mains supply outlet. The unit is supplied with a universal power outlet that will accept UK, EU and USA plugs.

The following control functions are available, switch on, switch off and power cycle (reboot), for example to reboot the equipment connected simply send the following text message *PSSW12345*RLYT=00060  to the equipment will power off for 60 seconds and then power on, a confirmation text message will be sent. The unit will only accept and action text messages that have the correct password, in the previous example *PSSW12345, this can be changed as required.

The WT-215 is powered by the built-in 12V DC power supply inside the cabinet of which it gets the power from the AC mains. There is an onboard battery backup, this allows the unit to send a text message should there be a power failure, if power is lost it will send the following message 'Power Down' when power is restored the following message 'Power Restored'

Application

Restart applications include rebooting of remote radio equipment, routers, servers, modems, ATM’s, CCTV digital video recorders, video equipment in fact any type of equipment that sometimes 'hangs' and needs a restart to restore its operation.

On and off switching applications include the control of aviation engine pre-heaters, remote irrigation systems, water well pumps, plug in appliances such as electric heaters and air conditioning units.

Benefits

The benefits of remote power control are many, for example the ability to remotely recycle power to non responsive systems can lead to a significant reduction in server downtime. Additionally there is a substantial cost saving as it is not necessary to physically dispatch personnel to perform a hard reboot.
