1. Introduction
Network equipment sometimes "locks-up", requiring a service call just to flip the power switch to perform a simple reboot. The RPC-4840N Heavy Duty Remote Power Controller gives you the ability to reboot DC powered equipment from anywhere on the LAN/WAN, or if the network is down, to simply dial-in from a modem for out-of-band power control.
Intelligent Power Control
The RPC-4840N can communicate over any TCP/IP network using standard Telnet, or out-of-band using an external modem and terminal emulation. Each DC circuit can be assigned an individual password, device name, reboot delay time and unique power-up default status.
Security
Address specific IP security masks prevent unauthorized users from accessing the RPC command menu via network. The RPC provides two separate password security levels; System level and User level. The System password allows access to all configuration and command functions. The User password allows limited access to command functions.
Easy to Use, Easy to Configure
The RPC-4840N can be configured over the network, via modem, or locally via the RPC Console Port. Easy-to-use commands let you assign a location name, set system parameters and view circuit status. Circuits can be switched On, Off, or Booted using circuit numbers or user-defined names.
Heavy Duty DC Power Control
The RPC-4840N can control up to 40 amps of DC power per | |
circuit. Since larger routers require as much as 30 amps, the | |
RPC has power control to spare. The optional second Circuit | |
Module allows the RPC to control power for two 40 amp, DC | |
powered instruments. | 1-1 |
