  • Patent number: 8868937
    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.

  • Publication number: 20130246816
    Abstract: A power distribution unit (PDU) performs a method using a single IP address to control multiple PDUs and has a controller and at least one network port connected to the controller. The controller provides an html-based user interface for users to set up virtual outlets therethrough. When multiple foregoing PDUs are connected through a network, one of the PDUs can be logged in with an internet protocol (IP) address, and the outlets of other PDUs are virtualized as added outlets of the login PDU. Outlet information associated with the original and added outlets of the login PDU can be simultaneously displayed on the user interface of the login PDU. Accordingly, users can employ a single IP address to control the outlets of all the PDUs.
