even be configured to ping network devices and automatically reboot them if they
stop responding. You can even have it ping a remote device and reboot
your Internet router if it can't get through. Also supports scripting,
scheduling, smartphones and logging.
I have been using them for years in my day-job and not a single
failure yet.
And at $129, they are dirt-cheap.
There are a number of similar products out there from Black Box, APC,
etc. but none of them can beat the bang-for-the-buck ratio of the
Digital-Loggers Web Power Switches.

Subject: [ap-gto] RE: Serial port connectivity issues Thanks for all the good feedback. With the exception of a serial
adapter that is not Prolific-based (the one I connected the second port of the
900), everything else is on the Keyspan now. The idea was to use the second
serial port on the mount as a backup connection in case the first one failed.
For true redundancy, I thought I would connect it somewhere outside the Keyspan
serial hub, in case that went belly-up. Even better would be a standby laptop,
but I have to think this through as the USB connections are physical so they can
only be connected to one machine.
I
am still wondering how folks with remote setups in NM manage to not have any
failures that would cost them an airline ticket to go and fix :)
