PowerDsine Launches Web-based Remote Management for Its IEEE 802.3af Compliant Power over LAN Midspans.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers FARMINGDALE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 27, 2003 PowerDsine PowerView Supports Remote Power Management for Powered Ethernet Devices PowerDsine(R), the leading provider of Power over Ethernet Power over Ethernet or PoE technology describes a system to transmit electrical power, along with data, to remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet network. technology, which allows next generation network devices to share power and data over the same cable, today announced its new high-end 6000 Power over LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. (TM) IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.3af-compliant family of midspan products with a Web-based remote management system. PowerDsine PowerView, setting the company's flagship 6000 Power over LAN midspan series apart from the rest, provides customers with a Web-based user interface to remotely monitor the PowerDsine 6000 series of midspans and control the supplied power to each Ethernet-connected device, such as wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area access points, IP telephones and network security cameras. PowerView has a number of end-user benefits: -- Allows Ethernet-connected devices to be controlled in real-time -- Allows Ethernet-connected devices to be controlled from any Internet computer -- Provides alerts of changes in status, such as a fall in power consumption -- Enhances network security by enabling the shutdown or prioritizing of devices. By providing remote monitoring (protocol) remote monitoring - (RMON) A network management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single computer. Whereas SNMP gathers network data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines nine additional MIBs that provide a and troubleshooting of hard-to-reach devices, such as wireless LAN access points, PowerView reduces costs and eliminates unnecessary service calls. "Centralized management is critical to reducing the cost of maintenance and ensuring uninterrupted service for enterprises managing an increasing number of devices connected through their LAN," said Amir Lehr, vice president of marketing and strategic planning Strategic planning is an organization's process of defining its strategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating its resources to pursue this strategy, including its capital and people. , PowerDsine. "Our Power over LAN midspans with PowerView enable end-users to monitor and control power allocation and consumption, ensuring that their powered Ethernet-connected voice and data devices are properly powered for reliable operation." Specifically, PowerDsine PowerView offers real-time monitoring and control with graphical representation for easy configuration of remote devices; visual status indicators and alarms: events and performance data recording; and full SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. traps. About PowerDsine 6000 Power over LAN Midspans The PowerDsine 6000 family of products with PowerView includes the PowerDsine 6024, 6012 and 6006 Power over LAN midspans, featuring 24, 12 and 6 port solutions, respectively. The 6000 midspan series utilizes PowerDsine's advanced detection algorithms enabling error proof installations and eliminating the possibility of damage to non-power ready devices and the cabling plant. The devices are compatible with existing Ethernet or Fast Ethernet An earlier name for 100Mbps Ethernet. See 100Base-T. (networking) Fast Ethernet - A version of Ethernet developed in the 1990s(?) which can carry 100 Mbps compared with standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. It requires upgraded network cards and hubs. switches and enable a unified supply of data and power through a single connection by sending power over standard Category 5 twisted pair A thin-diameter wire (22 to 26 gauge) commonly used for telephone and network cabling. The wires are twisted around each other to minimize interference from other twisted pairs in the cable (Alexander Graham Bell invented this and was awarded a patent for it in 1881). cable. As a result, enterprises can deploy IP telephony The two-way transmission of voice over a packet-switched IP network, which is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The terms "IP telephony" and "voice over IP" (VoIP) are synonymous. and other devices without the time and cost required to install separate power cabling to existing infrastructure. In addition, Power over LAN provides continuous service during power outages This is a list of famous wide-scale power outages. 1965
Availability The PowerDsine 6024, 6012, 6006 Power over LAN midspans are currently available with Web-based remote management. All midspans are compliant with the IEEE 802.3af standard, which is expected to be ratified later this year. About PowerDsine PowerDsine (www.powerdsine.com) is the leader in Power over LAN(TM) technology, providing the ability to deliver both power and data over a single network cable. PowerDsine offers converged power and data solutions to corporate users via its own range of equipment and via OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and agreements with the leading communications equipment manufacturers in the telecom and datacom industries. PowerDsine's product line offers a variety of Power over LAN midspan devices as well as integrated solutions, which are embedded directly into Ethernet switches. PowerDsine is a founding member of the IEEE 802.3af Task Force leading the development of an industry standard for remotely powering Ethernet devices over the LAN infrastructure. In June 2002, the company was awarded most outstanding emerging European hi-tech company of 2002 at Tornado Insider's UpStart Europe event in Amsterdam.
