Quick Start Guide
To communicate with the RPS unit, proceed as follows:
1. Access Command Mode: This procedure differs slightly for the Web
Browser Interface and Text Interface:
a) Web Browser Interface: Start your JavaScript enabled Web
Browser. Enter the RPS’s default IP address (192.168.168.168)
in the address bar, then press [Enter]. A password prompt will be
displayed. Since at this point, the username and password have not
been defined, you can simply click OK without entering a username
or password. The Plug Status Screen will be displayed as shown in
Figure 3.1.
b) Text Interface:
i. Via Telnet: Telnet to the RPS’s default IP address
(192.168.168.168). The Plug Status Screen (Figure 3.2) should
be displayed.
ii. Via Local PC: Start your communications program (e.g.,
Hyperterminal) and then press [Enter]. The Plug Status Screen
should be displayed as shown in Figure 3.2. The default
communications parameters for the Console Port are 9600 bps,
No Parity, 8 data bits, One stop bit.
iii. Via Modem: Use your communications program to dial the
number for the phone line connected to your external modem.
Note that in order to communicate with the unit via modem,
you must first access command mode via Network or Local
PC, and use the Serial Parameters Menu to set the Port Mode to
"Modem" as described in Section 5.3.2.
