Power Control
Users and Administrators can use their ECS0016 gateways to remotely 
power on, power off, power cycle and read the current status of power 
strips, UPS supplies and servers:
Serial port controlled power strips can be controlled by using their  
    command line console. However, these serial port controlled power  
    strips can also be securely accessed and controlled using the  
    Management Console’s power control tools  
Network attached power strips with browser controls can be  
    controlled by directly sending HTTP/HTTPS commands with  
    MetaConnect.  Alternately, these browser controlled power strips can  
    be securely accessed and controlled using the Management  
    Console’s power control tools.

    service processors or BMCs invariably are supplied with their own  
    management tools (like SoL) that will provide secure management
