Description |
|
Cloud Compliant
|
RackLink is 100% cloud compliant, but is not cloud dependent.
|
Each device features a dedicated on board web server and provides a intuitive
browser based web interface, making local & remote access via the web a snap.
An open architecture serial API allows RackLink™ devices to be seamlessly and
easilly integrated into any 3rd party application.
|
|
|
Local and Remote Access
|
Integrated web server with either static or dynamic IP address.
Serial communication API
|
A consoliated list of RackLink™ devices can be viewed within any of
our mobile web apps. (iPad, iPhone and Android).
Drivers available for third party control systems.
|
|
|
DDNS Service
|
DDNS is available free of charge, through Middle Atlantic
|
To remotely access an IP device you need know the ‘external’ IP address of
the router at the installed location. In residential accounts Internet Service
Providers habitually change or refresh the external IP addresses of routers.
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Services) allows each router to be given a
unique domain ‘name’ and then keeps track of any IP address changes for
that name. You can then always access the device using its domain name,
instead of its IP address.
Use of DDNS requires that port forwarding is enabled on the router.

|
Form factor
|
In-Line and 1 Space Rackmount
|
Multiple form factors accommodate
all installation types.
|
|
|
Individual Device Controls
|
|
Outlet and Dry Contact Control
|
Dry contacts extend benefits of RackLink™ outside the rack.
|
|
On / Off / Cycle
|
Status feedback is instantaneous.
|
|
Set custom cycle delay periods (up to 999 seconds)
|
Up to 999 seconds.
|
|
Assign individual name to each device
|
Identification of specific RackLink™ units is easy
through friendly names.
|
|
Name each outlet and contact individually
|
Identification of connected equipment is easy
through friendly names.
|
|
|
|
Monitored Variables
|
|
Input Voltage (Peak & RMS)
|
User can set custom high/low input voltage thresholds and can be
alerted via e-mail if thresholds are breached.
|
|
Load Current (Peak & RMS)
|
User can set custom high/low load current thresholds and can be
alerted via e-mail if thresholds are breached.
|
|
Temperature
|
RackLink™ uniquely allows user to set high/low temperature thresholds
and can alert an integrator via e-mail if thresholds are breached and can
trigger additional actions, such as powering on spare fans, or powering
down heat generating equipment.
|
|
Surge Status
|
Surge Status Notification is provided in three different ways:
- by means of local LEDs
- through contact closure status
- status notification through serial and TCP/IP ports
In the unlikely event that both surge stages are compromised, RackLink™
device will continue to pass power through, thus allowing the system to
remain on while the integrator arranges service.
|
|
Connected Load (Watts)
|
Real time measurement.
|
|
Cumulative Load (kWh)
|
Historical record user can reset as necessary.
|
|
Power Factor
|
Measure of efficiency.
|
|
Thermal Load
|
Provides insight into cooling requirements per connected load.
|
|
|
|
Data Logging
|
RackLink logs data for every monitored variable once every 5 minutes, and in addition will
log immediately on every alert condition (surge status, threshold breaches, auto-ping no
response, input voltage and connected load fluctuations)
|
Data logs are stored locally on each device and can be easily viewed
through the local browser based user interface.
They can also be easily extracted by a control system via RS-232
and IP using our API.
|
|
|
Ability to Export Logs
|
Data logs can be saved locally in CSV format, or extracted remotely via IP or RS-232
|
Six monitored variables and nine alert conditions are logged.
|
|
|
Alert Events
|
|
Temperature (Over / Under / Normal Range)
|
User defined temperature thresholds in 1ºF increments.
Optional E-mail status notification and outlet/dry contact control
on/over temp.
|
|
Input Voltage (Over / Under / Normal Range)
|
User defined voltage thresholds in 1 VAC increments
High Range: 123 - 128VAC
Low Range: 105 - 110VAC
Optional E-mail notification to over/under status
|
|
Load Current (High / Low / Normal Range)
|
User defined load current thresholds in 0.1A increments
0-15A
0-20A
Optional E-mail notification to over/under status
|
|
Auto Ping No Response
|
Auto Ping No Response
|
|
|
Auto Ping
|
Auto Ping - routinely queries another network device, or service
|
If the device does not respond RackLink™ can issue an e-mail
notification, and can additionally power cycle or turn on/off an outlet
and / or a dry contact in an attempt to restart an unresponsive device.

Input Voltage (RMS)
Load Current (RMS)
|
Real time display and Log entries only.
Data manipulation & graphing is achieved using Excel or 3rd party data
archiving (Control Systems).
|
|
|
Scheduling
|
Control systems can schedule specific commands to be sent to this device at set times.
|
- Save energy by turning off devices when not in use
- Schedule managed reboots of network or other devices
|
