WattBox

Home: http://www.snapav.com/t-Power-WattBox.aspx/

Documentation: http://www.av-iq.com/avcat/images/documents/dataSheet/2312.pdf

Evaluating the WattBox WB-200-IPCE-3 I found it to be a capable remote controlled surge suppressor. It has the ability to use ICMP to determine if a device/Internet is accessible and do an auto power off/on of a port. I.E. reboot Cable Modem/DSL to attempt reconnect of Internet.

It also can send email alerts on conditions.

Setup

:!: The videos and documentation will tell you to install the configuration software but I see no reason. Determine the devices IP address via DHCP log etc. and use browser.

  • WattBox has their own DynDNS system so you can remotely access the device via HTTP (port configurable) if you forward the port to your WattBox.

OVRC

:!: This device is also OVRC capable in that it touches base with the OVRC mother ship and can be managed from www.ovrc.com. An OVRC account is necessary. It asks if you are a reseller at SnapAV or Aisle8 and if you say No you will be stopped from creating an account. However if you say yes you can still setup an account with any valid email address.

Trigger Dependencies

Sometimes the availability of one host depends on another. A server that is behind some router will become unreachable if the router goes down. With triggers configured for both, you might get notifications about two hosts down - while only the router was the guilty party.
