the economic and business consequences of operational downtime require a
management solution that is always accessible," said Mary Jane Gruninger,
general manager of MRV's Out-of-Band networking division.
Easy-to-Manage, Secure Remote Network Operations
All 4800 Power Control Series models feature out-of-band connectivity that
allows administrators to remotely power-on, power-off or reboot attached

LX Series security capabilities include SSH V2SSHv2 Secure Shell secure remote

To support redundant power supply routers and switches, each 4800 Power
Control Series model has dual 100-amp power inputs. Each 4800 Series model
also features interchangeable fuses that allow administrators to replace fuse
values to change the amperage rating of each outlet circuit. Secure local and
remote configuration and control is managed through the LX Series Console
Server, with an easy-to-use browser-based GUI, extensive command line
interface, or MRV's SNMP-based Megavision management software. All 4800
Series models are NEBS compliant.
