Remote management unit with power control
First Claim
1. A remote management unit, wherein:
- the remote management unit is adapted to be coupled to a local data processing unit, the remote management unit is further adapted to be coupled through a network to a remote data processing unit allowing the remote data processing unit to provide at least one of;
controlling operation of the local data processing unit, monitoring operation of the local data processing unit, monitoring data transmission of the local data processing unit, and controlling operation of the remote management unit, the remote management unit comprises an own central processing unit—
CPU—
allowing to operate the remote management unit completely independent of an operation of the local data processing unit as well as of an operation of the remote data processing unit, and the remote management unit further comprises control unit adapted to control a supply of power for the local data processing unit.

Abstract
A remote management unit is coupled to a local data processing unit and—through a network—to a remote data processing unit allowing the remote data processing unit to provide at least one of: controlling operation of the local data processing unit, monitoring operation of the local data processing unit, monitoring data transmission of the local data processing unit, and controlling operation of the remote management unit. The remote management unit comprises an own central processing unit—CPU—allowing operation of the remote management unit completely independent of an operation of the local data processing unit as well as of an operation of the remote data processing unit. The remote management unit further comprises control unit adapted to control a supply of power for the local data processing unit.

8. A method of operating a remote management unit, comprising the following steps:
-
coupling the remote management unit through a network to a remote data processing unit, the remote management unit controlling a supply of power for the local data processing unit. coupling the remote management unit to a local data processing unit for allowing the remote data processing unit to provide at least one of;
controlling operation of the local data processing unit, monitoring operation of the local data processing unit, monitoring data transmission of the local data processing unit, and controlling operation of the remote management unit.

9. The method of claim 9, wherein the step of controlling a supply of power comprises a step of either enabling or disabling the supply of power from a power supply to the local data processing unit.
-
10. A software program or product, preferably stored on a data carrier, for executing the method of:
-
coupling the remote management unit through a network to a remote data processing unit, the remote management unit controlling a supply of power for the local data processing unit. coupling the remote management unit to a local data processing unit for allowing the remote data processing unit to provide at least one of;
controlling operation of the local data processing unit, monitoring operation of the local data processing unit, monitoring data transmission of the local data processing unit, and controlling operation of the remote management unit, when run on a data processing system of the remote management unit.
