NETIO PowerPDU 8QS can be configured with a web browser (allows output control, connection to NETIO Cloud, Open API communication settings, etc.).
Thanks to the Open API, integration with third-party systems using various protocols (JSON, Modbus/TCP, SNMP, MQTT-flex, Telnet, ...) is easy.
Ready-made AV drivers make it simple to connect the NETIO PDU to professional Audio/Video systems such as Neets, Crestron, Control4, RTI, Savant and more.
With the NETIO Cloud service, the outputs can be controlled from anywhere. The NETIO Cloud service, provided for a fee, uses SSL security and servers in Europe.
The NETIO Mobile2 app controls each output individually over LAN (local network).
To switch the outputs on in a sequence, a power-up delay can be configured for each output.
Open API: Supported M2M protocols
One Open API protocol can be used at a time, chosen from among the supported M2M protocols:
- SNMP v1 AN11, AN41
- SNMP v3
- MQTT-flex AN40
- Telnet AN10
- Modbus/TCP AN27, AN22, AN37
- JSON over HTTP AN21, AN30, AN42
- XML over HTTP AN20, AN31
- URL API (http get) AN19, AN29
- HTTP(s) Push JSON
- HTTP(s) Push XML
Regardless of the Open API used, the PowerPDU 8QS can be always controlled from its web interface and from the NETIO Cloud service.
The customer can take advantage of the NETIO Cloud service and one Open API protocol simultaneously.
Typical applications
- In IT, the smart PowerPDU 8QS is typically used to distribute electricity in a 19" rack (cabinet) in a data center.
- Saving energy in meeting rooms (Scheduler switches equipment on/off at predefined time).
- Controlling the power (to TV sets, audio systems, lighting) from various AV systems in stores, smart homes, museums, digital signage applications.
- The outputs of several NETIO products can be controlled using the NETIO Mobile 2 app, as long as the app is connected to the same network.
- The outputs of multiple devices can be controlled centrally using the NETIO Cloud service (for a fee).
