1 General Information
1.1 Overview
The freeView Power 80 allows you to remotely control the AC power for up to eight devices
including servers, routers, modems and telephone networks. With the ability to stack up to 16
units together, up to 128 devices can be controlled from a single interface.
The freeView Power 80 supports several methods to log in remotely. The main method is to
access the unit via IP over the LAN or the internet. This method provides the user with a web-
based interface that is fast and easy to use. An alternative is to connect a modem to the unit’s
RS-232 port and access the device via dial-up modem. This method will also allow the user to
control the unit using a web interface. The last method can be used if a computer is not
available to access the freeView Power 80. Using the built-in telephone ports, the network
administrator can access the device by dialing into it from a touch-tone telephone and control it
using commands entered through the phone.
