IP Power Stone 4000

The primary feature of the device allows remote power control of two AC power outlets using either a web browser or MSN messenger. This device is a perfect tool for IT personnel supporting routers and network equipment in remote sites. The IP4000 provides the ability to either manually control power remotely over the internet, OR automatically by an internet monitoring feature that pings up to six IP addresses.

If equipment lock-ups are not a problem, the IP Power Stone can provide an additional benefit by allowing equipment to be powered up only when needed. Schedule up to 20 power function events assignable to one or both  outlets. Power consumption is thereby reduced, equipment life is extended, and exposure to malicious hacker threats is minimized.

• Via web browser
• Via MSN chat
• Via Scheduling – up to 20 schedules
• Via Auto-Pinging LAN or WAN IP

• Saves money by eliminating costly remote site visits
• Reduces equipment downtime
• Improves productivity
• Minimizes power consumption and extends product life

It seems that everyone sells wireless Ethernet radio systems these days. Why does the world need another one?

Two reasons:
1) There are hundreds of applications for a simple “point A to point B” wireless Ethernet system. Businesses need a solution that works right out of the box and a solution that does not require an extensive learning curve.
2) While using a wireless Ethernet bridge for Voice over IP traffic may appear to be simple, it isn’t. Just because a wireless radio system is good for Ethernet, doesn’t mean that it will work with VoIP. Bad programming choices during installation can significantly affect VoIP quality. Some wireless Ethernet bridges simply don’t keep working. They often require reboots or power cycles to keep services running.
ZipLink offers a complete wireless bridge in a box and can be installed in less than 2 hours. Instead of trying to trench cable, just put a ZipLink outdoor radio at each end, and you’re done. Every thing you need is included; radios/antennas, cables, mounting brackets, nuts, and bolts. No programming is required and in most cases you don’t even need a computer.

Best product, best support, and one full year of free technical assistance. Call us at 800-535-4651.

Multi-Link Application Note~ ISM Band 12- 2012

The Stick saves you money by allowing a wide range of equipment to “share” a single telephone line for remote access, polling, faxing, and normal in/outbound transactions that use a line only minutes a day.

Typical equipment includes:

• Point of Sale
• Energy Management/HVAC
• Time & Attendance
• Fax Machines
• Credit Card Terminals
• Digital Signage
• Postage Meters
• Dial-up Modems

The typical monthly cost for a business phone line is $50, plus additional taxes and fees. By leasing The Stick at only $19/month, a company can cut phone costs by more than half in one month with no initial out-of-pocket costs. Multiply the savings of one line eliminated by the total number of locations and the savings potential can be substantial. Many of our clients have eliminated TWO lines per location.

The lease program renews every 12 months and provides a customized Security Lock Box with every unit to lock down device connections. Research shows that this mounting enclosure prevents two service calls per year due to tampering. Also, if a Stick unit is ever in need of repair for any reason, e.g. lightning damage, Multi-Link will ship out a replacement unit at no cost.

Customized factory programming (if required) is also included. We program your Sticks exactly to application specs to expedite deployment and ensure conformity.  Custom install guides included. Our unlimited, toll-free USA based technical support offers the friendly assistance you need for expert answers and quick troubleshooting.

If you like cost-cutting solutions with no upfront costs call 800-535-4651 for a free consultation.

Installers have traditionally installed The Stick for remote polling of POS, Energy Management, Time & Attendance clocks, etc.  Be advised that many of the installations now involve inbound and outbound back-up access for remote service and more specifically, for outbound credit card transactions during network down time, as this insures and expedites the transaction.

With quality products, it is sometimes easy to forget the intangibles that can help ensure that your installation is complete before you leave the site. Here’s how we can help you:

• Quick Start Installation Sheets – Speak with your Multi-Link representative and discuss your needs and requirements.  We will customize to your specs, print, and include in each shipped unit.
• Factory Programming – Each installation project has unique requirements.We can program your units exactly to customer specs to meet the job requirements. This insures uniform performance and reduces time on-site.
• Toll Free Technical Support – Before, during, or after your installation, if you have any questions or concerns, our technicians are available to assist between the hours of 8am – 5pm, M-F, EST.
• Remote Diagnostics – Multi-Link products can be remotely diagnosed over the telephone line by our trained staff of technicians. If a programming change is required for a specific site, no problem…it takes one minute.
• Free 30-Day Product Trial – For projects you’re involved in AND not using The Stick, remember that virtually every company is a potential prospect for line-sharing technology. Seeing is believing, so we provide products to qualified prospects to try out for 30 days.That’s an idea worth sharing.

Multi-Link sets itself apart from the rest with experience and project “know-how”. Let us help work with you to keep your staff productive and your customer happy.
