MAC stands for Media Access Control and a MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller and is used on an IP Ethernet communications network to identify the device. Each remote reboot power switch has its own MAC address and this is used to register it on a portal or network for remote communications and power switching.
IP Power Switches
An IP power switch provides a way to remotely control, monitor or reboot electrical and electronic devices connected to the outlets of the switch. The most commonly used outlet on an Ethernet remote power switch is an IEC320 C13. IEC C13 to C14 power cords are used to connect the outlet sockets to the load and the power switch itself plugs into the local mains power supply using a mains power cable.

Remote Ethernet IP Power Switch
A remote IP switch, webswitch or web-switch is a device that can be used to control the electrical power supply to connected loads. Loads can include audio visual systems, signage, lighting, digital displays, computers and servers, IT networking devices, home cinema speakers, home cinema projectors, electric projector screens, video conferencing USB connected display screens and other electrical devices in a home or remote office or hard to reach environment.
Ethernet Switches
Remote power switching is made possible by connecting the switches to an IP Ethernet network using a standard RJ45 cable or for some models a Wi-Fi network. When connected to the network and the on-premises or cloud-based software application individual sockets can be rebooted remotely. This can help to reduce the need to access hard to reach appliances or send a service engineer to a remote location simply to reboot a device.
What an Internet Protocol – IP?
IP standards for Internet Protocol and is a set of rules for communicating over a computer network including the internet. An IP address identifies a unique device address on a network or the internet. A classic example is a website address.
IP Power Information
Information on power usage is available dependent on the installed power switch. Please check individual product specifications which will list the number of outlet sockets, types and the power related measurment information available. Typical brands include Aviosys, Austin Hughes and Netio.
