7. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
8. This product is equipped with a three wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug
will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding type plug. Do not use a 3-to-2 prong adapter at the receptacle; use of this type adapter may result in
risk of electrical shock and/or damage to this product.
9. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord will be abused by
persons walking on it.
10. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
11. Never push objects of any kind into this product through slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
12. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to a qualified serviceman when
some service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or
other risks. Incorrect re-assembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.
13. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
a) When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b) If liquid has been spilled into the product.
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

General Description
The PWR-RMT-RBT (iBoot) is a network attached, IP addressed, web controlled AC power switch. Anyone
with a web browser can access the switch to perform power On, Off or Power Cycle (Reboot or
Power Burst). PWR-RMT-RBT is password protected for security.
PWR-RMT-RBT features international standard IEC320 connections and is compatible with power mains
worldwide. Dual Ethernet jacks with built-in 10/100 switch make installation easy.
Uses
• Remote reboot of any device, routers, servers, kiosks, etc. The device to be rebooted need not
be network attached.
• Secure sensitive devices by keeping them powered off when not in use. This prevents hackers
from seeing them at all times.
• Power down equipment when not needed for power savings and to save on wear and tear.
• Power up alert devices like sirens, lamps, messages; or control environmental system like
heaters, coolers pumps, etc.
Multiple Control Options
In addition to the Web control
capabilities, iBoot features several other

Intra- Net
iBoot

Power Switch
means to operate automatically
or under computer control.
Pwr Out
Auto-Ping: The Auto-Ping feature allows
the switch to automatically detect failed
equipment and perf orm a timed reboot
or other power control function (like

turning on an indicator or siren). You
set any IP address to be periodically
pinged. When iBoot no longer detects
a response from the address, the

programmed power control function is
actuated.
Heartbeat Monitor: Like the Auto-Ping in reverse, this feature uses a periodic message sent to the
iBoot from a device. When that message is not received, the iBoot will perform the programmed
power control function.
iBoot Control Program: NTI offers an application to simplify operation of the iBoot. The iBoot
Control Program operates one iBoot from a command line or window. It can be called by other
programs to create an automated reboot system.
Direct TCP Control: iBoot can be controlled directly via messages sent via TCP. This feature allows
programmers to add power control directly to their application and build automated scripts in any
language to operate iBoot.
