  • Publication number: 20120317428
    Abstract: A method of remotely controlling power distribution units enables the power distribution units to automatically transmit messages to a server once connected to the server via a network. When a user logs into a server and requests to remotely control the associated power distribution units, the user only needs to enter the serial numbers or identification data thereof. The server then automatically searches for all power distribution units owned by the user, and provides a group management interface. The user can then group the power distribution units according to their locations or their properties in order to control the on and off thereof. Without knowing the IP addresses of the power distribution units, the user can readily control the power distribution units at different locations remotely.
