Unit Description

13.Power Inlet(s): The power inlets are configured differently on MPC models, in accordance with the power rating, maximum load and the number of power circuits. Depending on your specific model, the MPC may include either one or two power inlets or either one or two power supply cables. Other MPC models may include either one or two permanently attached power supply cables. For a description of the power input configuration for your specific MPC unit, please fefer to the table in Section 1 or Section 3. Note that MPC models with detachable power cable(s) will also include a power inlet cable keeper.

2.4.Additional Button Functions

In addition to the button functions discussed in Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3, the Default, Audible Alarm and Display Selection buttons can also be used to perform several additional functions described below:

Notes:

All Front Panel Button functions can also be disabled via the System Parameters menu, as described in Section 5.3.

When the MPC is reset to factory defaults, all user-defined configuration parameters will be cleared, and the default “super” user account will also be restored.

1.Reboot Operating System:

a)Press and hold the Default button for five seconds, and then release it.

b)The MPC will reboot it's operating system; all plugs will be left in their current On/Off state.

c)If the optional MPC-DISPLAY unit is installed, and this operation is performed at the MPC-DISPLAY unit, all connected MPC units will also be rebooted.

2.Set Parameters to Factory Defaults:

a)Simultaneously press both the Default button and the Display Selection button, hold them for five seconds, and then release them.

b)All MPC parameters will be reset to their original factory default settings, and the unit will then reboot. All plugs will be left in their current On/Off state.

c)This function will not be applied to other connected MPC units.

3.Toggle/Default All Plugs:

a)Simultaneously press both the Default button and Audible Alarm button, hold them for five seconds, and then release them.

b)The MPC will switch all plugs to the Off state. If all plugs are already in the Off state, then the unit will reset all plugs to their user defined default states.

c)This function will not be applied to other connected MPC units.

The Western Telematic MPC series is renowned for its robust and versatile remote power management solutions. Among its offerings, the MPC-20VS16-3, MPC-20VD16-3, MPC-20VD20-2, MPC-20VS20-1, and MPC-20VS20-2 stand out as exceptional products tailored to meet the demands of modern telecommunications and data center environments.

One of the key features across this series is the ability to monitor and control up to 20 power outlets, which allows for efficient resource management and reduces downtime. Each model in the series accommodates various configurations, including both switched and non-switched outlets. This flexibility makes it easier for operators to manage power distribution according to their specific needs.

The integration of real-time monitoring capabilities is another highlight of the MPC series. Users can track power consumption, voltage, and current for each outlet, enabling better decision-making to optimize energy usage. This feature contributes significantly to the overall efficiency of operations, ensuring that resources are utilized effectively.

Communication is seamless with the Western Telematic MPC series, as these models are equipped with multiple network connectivity options. They support both SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and Telnet, facilitating easy integration with existing network management systems. Additionally, the devices can send alerts and notifications via email or SMS, keeping operators informed about any changes in power status or potential issues.

The MPC models are designed with redundancy and reliability in mind. They come equipped with advanced surge protection, ensuring sensitive equipment remains safe from power spikes. The rugged construction of the units ensures they can withstand the rigors of data center environments, with an emphasis on heat dissipation and airflow management.

Security features are also a priority. The MPC series includes user authentication and access control to prevent unauthorized users from manipulating power settings. The ability to set user permissions ensures that only designated personnel can operate sensitive components, enhancing operational security.

Energy efficiency is a guiding principle in the design of the MPC series. By providing tools for monitoring and controlling power usage, these devices contribute to a reduction in energy costs, aligning with sustainability goals sought by modern enterprises.

In conclusion, the Western Telematic MPC-20VS16-3, MPC-20VD16-3, MPC-20VD20-2, MPC-20VS20-1, and MPC-20VS20-2 are exemplary models in the field of remote power management. With features such as comprehensive outlet control, real-time monitoring, robust communication options, security protocols, and a focus on energy efficiency, these units are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the telecommunications and data center sectors. By implementing these advanced technologies, operators can enhance their operational capabilities while also contributing to long-term sustainability.
