Abstract
The present invention discloses a method carried out at a power controller for managing power supply to a network device, comprising the steps of sending a request message to a remote server, wherein the power controller is connected to the remote server via the network device and waiting for a valid response message from the remote server, wherein a valid response is received when all components of the network device are functioning properly. When a valid response message is not received from the remote server within a first predefined time, the network device is restarted. For the present invention the power controller connects to the remote server via the network device, wherein the network device connects to the remote server using at least one network interface. Furthermore, the request message is sent by the power controller via the network device if the network device is connected to the remote server via at least one network interface wherein the power controller has a data connection and a power connection with the network device.
