Anyone use nighthawk?

What other device are out there?
Lots of choices out there - some are better than nighthawk. Please check this thread (»iBoot device?) which includes links to 4 previous threads. This topic comes up every year. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22629291 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 15:48:16 EDT Re: remote reboot devices http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22620856 dr mongolia : Anyone seen one of these remote reboot devices that has some sort of power conditioning built in? That would be a great combo]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22620856 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 15:07:02 EDT Re: remote reboot devices http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22594340 leightonmv : In response to the first post, yes, we do use Nighthawk Systems rebooters. The nice and unusual thing about them is the reboot is controlled by a pager signal - completely independently of the Internet. Since we have some wireless nodes which are accessible only by wireless Internet connection, having that alternative access option has been really helpful when the wireless radios have frozen up.

The service runs $30/mo but then only $1/mo extra per rebooter. »www.nighthawksystems.com/power.html]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22594340 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 23:14:54 EDT Re: remote reboot devices http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22589464 keefe007 :

Yes, all the devices will be off. The outlets are set to "off" by default. We have firmware version 2.2.4, I don't know if that has been changed in the newer firmwares. This brings me to one negative, the only I can think of, against these units--they need to be sent back to the manufacturer for firmware upgrades. One of the units is at least 4 years old, just like Timex--"takes a licking, and keeps on ticking".
It seems like chele has an older model that they don't sell anymore, the PC-8000. All of the current models have a firmware update function built into the web interface.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22589464 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 02:17:08 EDT Re: remote reboot devices http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22580840 Chele : Yes, all the devices will be off.

Chele -- When they default back to factory settings, do they cause any downtime for the network? Or autoping/etc just gets turned off?
I know if one does an intentional reset/factory default power is not lost to the outlets.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22580138 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 19:06:07 EDT Re: remote reboot devices http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22579900 dr mongolia : Chele -- When they default back to factory settings, do they cause any downtime for the network?

Smeghead -- When they blow a lan card does that cause downtime?

Thanks]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22579900 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 18:16:35 EDT Re: remote reboot devices http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22579842 Chele : The only thing we have had happen with Digital Loggers is that on one occasion, at two sites, the units defaulted back to factory settings. Not enough to tell you not to buy them, but just keep that in mind. I actually like them and they have saved us many trips to just reboot a radio.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22579842 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 18:05:14 EDT Re: remote reboot devices http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22579712 keefe007 : The digital loggers are by far the best and most reliable.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22579712 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:33:07 EDT Re: remote reboot devices http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22566821 smeghead : I-boot are great -- digital loggers as they said up there. They lan cards blow very often though.

The one problem is that the units are fairly big (2u) for POPs. The company came out with a smaller unit, and it seems just about the right size »www.digital-loggers.com/lpc.html]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22559695 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 11:54:12 EDT Re: remote reboot devices http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22559659 rb384997 : sorry, should have searched the forum,....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22559659 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 11:49:23 EDT remote reboot devices http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22559637 rb384997 : Anyone use nighthawk?
