SecureLinx SLP Remote Power Manager 6

1: Introduction

The Lantronix SLP Remote Power Manager family of products provides easy, practical, and secure solutions for power distribution, power management and loadmeasurement for remote equipment and branch AC circuits.

The SLP Remote Power Manager supports the elimination of unnecessary trips to remote locations by allowing remote control of the power on/off status for distant critical equipment, minimizing the impact of locked-up devices on mission-critical systems.

Features and Benefits

SLP models are available in 8-outlet and 16-outlet configurations for 100-120VAC

and 208-240VAC up to 16A. See Models on page 59.

Communication Access Modes

All models are equipped standard with a RS-232 (serial) port and a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port for Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), and web browser access.

Power Distribution

Up to 16A of AC power (dependant on model) can be distributed across up to sixteen

attached devices. See Models on page 59 for available models.

Remote Power Management

Remote control of power outlets allows individual on/off and reboot control of up to 16 devices.

Load and Environment Measurement

Load measurement eliminates guesswork by supplying the cumulative operating load in amperes. This allows on-site technicians to maximize the equipment installed and operated on a circuit without concern. Use of the circuit is maximized, while effectively allowing a 10% to 20% safety margin. Remote users also may access this information at any time from the command line or web browser interface.

Optionally, temperature and humidity sensors allow monitoring of key environmental conditions at remote facilities.

Power-up Sequencing

When powered on, each of the power outlets power sequentially with a two-second delay between each outlet. Power sequencing staggers the individual loads,

SecureLinx SLP Remote Power Manager 7

1: Introduction

eliminating the potential of a blown fuse or circuit breaker due to excessive in-rush current and allows circuit support for operating load capacities of 80% to 90%.

Outlet Grouping

For operations across multiple attached devices or devices with multiple or redundant power supplies, include outlets in one or more named groups of outlets. This allows changes to all outlets in the named group with a single command sequence.

Security

Units ship with one predefined administrative user account. The administrator can create up to 128 user accounts, with individualized access to outlets and commands. All accounts support username and password protection. For configurations requiring multiple fully-privileged users, the administrator can grant administrative privileges to other user accounts in the system.

User Interfaces and LEDs

Two types of user interfaces are available: the web browser and the command line interface. For easy outlet recognition, assign descriptive names to both individual outlets and outlet groups for use in control commands. For the on-site technician, LEDs indicate individual outlet power status and cumulative power load.

Automatic Timeout

For added security, a user session automatically terminates after five minutes of inactivity; if a user is called away unexpectedly, an unprotected channel does not remain open indefinitely.

Note: The default port number for HTTP is 80.

Setting the HTTP authentication method:

The HTTP server supports two authentication methods for security and validation of the username-password – Basic and MD5 digest.

The Basic method utilizes Base64 encoding to encode and deliver the usernamepassword over the network to the HTTP server for decoding and authentication. This basic method is supported by all web browsers and offers a minimum level of security.

Note: The Base64 algorithm is widely-known and susceptible to packet-

sniffer attack for acquisition of the encoded username-password string.

The MD5 digest method provides stronger protection utilizing one-way encoded hash numbers, never placing the username-password on the network. Instead, the sending browser creates a challenge code based on the hash algorithm, provided username-password and unique items such as the device IP address and timestamp, which is compared against the HTTP server internal user database of valid challenge codes. The MD5 digest method offers a higher level of security than the Basic method but at present is not supported by all browsers.

Note: MD5 is known to be fully supported by Internet Explorer 5.0+

Select Basic or MD5 from the Authentication drop-down menu and press Apply. Setting SSL access level

SSL access may be configured as optional or required. The default access level is set to optional.

SSL

Secure Socket Layers (SSL) version 3 enables secure web browser sessions between a Remote Power Manager and a remote user. SSL provides two chief features designed to make TCP/IP (Internet) transmitted data more secure:

 Authentication – The connecting client is assured of the identity of the server.

 Encryption – All data transmitted between the client and the server is encrypted

rendering any intercepted data unintelligible to any third party.

SSL uses the public-and-private key encryption system by RSA, which also requires the use of digital certificates. An SSL Certificate is an electronic file uniquely identifying individuals or websites and enables encrypted communication; SSL Certificates serve as a kind of digital passport or credential. The product’s SSL Certificate enables the client to verify the unit’s authenticity and to communicate with the unit securely via an encrypted session, protecting confidential information from interception and hacking.

Secure Shell (SSH) version 2 enables secure network terminal sessions between a Remote Power Manager and a remote user over insecure network. SSH provides an encrypted terminal session with strong authentication of both the server and client, using public-key cryptography and is typically used as a replacement for unencrypted Telnet. In addition to enabling secure network terminal sessions to the unit for configuration and power management, the SSH session may be used for secure Pass-Thru connections to attached devices.

SSH requires the configuration and use of a client agent on the client PC. There are many freeware, shareware or for-purchase SSH clients available. Two examples are the freeware client PuTTY and the for-purchase client SecureCRT by VanDyke Software.
