The Imcom Internet Power Stone (IPS) provides various methods of initiating an AC power reset to meet any requirement for complete in and out-of-band network control.

1. By Telephone: The basic reboot function involves an incoming POTS line and a connected AC device. An incoming call will trigger an auto reboot, based on user-defined number of rings.
   



2. By Heartbeat: The IPS can work with heartbeat software that will automatically reboot a computer when a problem occurs.
   



3. By Web-browser: The IPS can be controlled by a master control unit that is IP addressable accessible via the internet. Password protection and power status feedback are available.
