PowerSwitch is a TCP/IP server that offers control over a parallel port power switch. It allows users to easily manage their equipment using a network connection.
Designed to be easy to use, Parallel port powerSwitch is built using a combination of Java and a bit of C to handle parallel port I/O, which ensures that the server is both effective and efficient. You'll find this server very useful for many applications since it's equipped with several powerful features.
One of the fantastic features of the Parallel Port PowerSwitch is its ability to support multiple connections. This means you can access the server from multiple devices, making it convenient to manage your switches from wherever you are. The server is also equipped with user authorization plus scheduled switching features.
With this server, you can easily schedule your switches such that they automatically operate without human intervention. You'll find this feature convenient for controlling your coffee machines or heating systems, especially when you're not around.
Other impressive features of this server include the ability to read configurations from a file, configurable log output, as well as simple port descriptions. You can add a short description to each port to make it easy to identify the connected device.
Additionally, the Parallel Port PowerSwitch comes with remote shutdown support, which allows you to turn off your switches from anywhere in the world. This feature comes handy in cases where you forgot to switch off something at home while at work, for instance.
The Parallel Port PowerSwitch server requires a Java 1.4.x and a switching device connected to your parallel port. We're always updating the server, and in this latest release, we've fixed a security bug, thanks to Thomas Bretgeld.
Overall, the Parallel Port PowerSwitch server is an excellent addition to any home or office automation controller arsenal. Try it out, and you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
