Power Switches

All of the remotely accessible facilities use remote power swtiching to provide safe reliable control of computers, telescopes, cameras, auxiliary instruments, and the domes. In some cases the switches are available directly to remote users through password protected web sites, and in others they are on locate area networks and available only to on-site observers or scripting software.

All of the controllers currently in use were supplied by Digital Loggers, Inc.. The modules are of various ages and may differ somewhat from the current products but have similar functionality.
