Introduction
Allxon swiftDR Series is a powerful Out-Of-Band remote device management solution to empower disaster recovery. This section details Allxon swiftDR for Power Cycling on Allxon Portal, to introduce Allxon’s power-related OOB features.
Let’s Get Started!
1. Navigate to Power Cycling Tab
To access the Power Cycling page, first log into Allxon Portal and click on the device to enter the Device’s page. Then click on the Power Cycling tab on the top navigation bar.
2. Basic Power Control Features
The Power Control card has three features to help you remotely manage the power states of your devices. It helps resolve issues like device blue screen, system anomalies, unresponsive systems and more.
- Power Switch: Toggles the power state of the device
- Force Shutdown: Forcefully powers OFF the device
- Power Reset: Restarts the device
💡 Note: Due to variations in power rules among edge devices, the parameter of each function can be adjusted to suit specific applications.
3. Device Always ON & Power ON/OFF Scheduling
In addition to basic device power management functions, the Power Cycling tab also has two automated power control features that reduce management costs and device downtime.
- Device Always ON: Monitors the power status of the device and keeps the device power always in the ON state.
- Power ON/OFF Scheduling: Enables the scheduling of powering devices ON or OFF at specified times.
💡 Note: Both of these automated features require the Power ON/OFF Detection function to operate properly.
4. Events & States Monitoring
The States card allows you to monitor the device power status in real-time and to track power detection logs in the Events card.
