Several others have echoed our experience: power cycle.
Your remote site has a UPS, right?
You carefully selected a manageable UPS.
Attach it to a port on your PortMaster (or IRX, which is a little "closer"
to you), and tell it to shutdown (carefully...ours can be told to shut down
and stay that way, or shutdown and power back up in a minute or so..."stay
that way" is the wrong way to avoid driving <so far, that last bit of
knowledge is only a thought experiment> ).
Ideally, you can do that individually for each separate box at your site.
And only you can (that's the scarey part).
As a side benefit, depending on the UPS, you may be able to get a periodic
temperature readout letting you know roughly how the site is doing for
ambient temperature.
