Quick guidance

Start by identifying your critical chain, typically modem, router, switch, and control, then assign those to your most protected plan and use individual outlet control for devices that occasionally lock up. With metering, watch for “creeping” power draw that can hint at failing power supplies or overheating. If you share your rack gear list and whether you are running a true 20A circuit, contact us and we will help you map outlets, set safe reboot rules, and size the backup strategy.

• WattBox UPS and power conditioner guide

1. Do I need a 20A circuit for this?
   Yes, to get the full benefit. If you plug it into a standard 15A circuit, treat it like a 15A setup and avoid loading it heavily.
   
2. Can it remotely reboot devices?
   Yes. It’s made for remote power-cycling and scheduling. Outlet control is typically managed in banks (groups), which is still perfect for rebooting routers, switches, NVRs, and AV gear.
   
3. Is this a UPS battery backup?
   No. It protects and manages power, but it won’t keep gear running during an outage. Pair it with a UPS if you need runtime.
