Features of MasterSwitch Plus
MasterSwitch Plus allows you to individually control power to connected
equipment and to gracefully shut down or restart up to eight connected

system effectively and efficiently, MasterSwitch Plus has these additional
features:
• Three password-protected accounts that ensure restricted access to
system-, device-, and outlet-level services.
• Automatic shut-down of connected servers attached to an APC UPS
when the UPS enters an on-battery state and removes power from
connected equipment after the server confirms shutdown.
• Shuts down servers before cycling power to the connected equipment
(Graceful Reboot).
• Control of eight power outlets (per unit) for complete and flexible
management of connected equipment.
• Web, Control Console, or SNMP management interfaces.
• Configure the sequence in which outlets receive power upon start-up.
• Connects serially to up to three expansion units (AP9225EXP),
providing control of 32 connected devices with one IP address.
• Basic and MD5 authentication for password security.
• Event Log accessible by FTP, Telnet, serial connection, or a Web
