Unit Description
5. Power Circuit B - Indicator Lights: Same as Item 1 above, except the LEDs light
to indicate On/Off status of Power Circuit B outlets. (Not present on MPC-18H
series units.).
6. Link Ports: Four RJ45 connectors, which can be used to link the MPC unit to up
to three other MPC or BPM units, plus the optional MPC-DISPLAY, status display
panel. When your MPC unit is linked to other MPC units, this allows control of
up to four MPC units (one local unit, plus three remote units) via one IP address.
If necessary, the Link Ports can also be reconfigured as RS232 serial ports (as
described in Section 5.8.2) to allow communication with attached devices. The
MPC includes three AUX Ports and one Remote Port; the remote port is intended
for connection to the MPC-DISPLAY unit, and the AUX Ports are intended for
connection to additional MPC units.
7. Console Port: A DB9, RS232 serial port (DTE), which can be used for connection
to a local terminal or external modem, as described in Section 4. For a description
of the Console Port interface, please refer to Appendix B.1.
8. Default Button: This button can be used to either reset the unit to default
parameters or to perform several other functions, described in Section 2.4.
9. Audible Alarm Button and LED: When any of the Alarms discussed in Section 7
are triggered, this LED will light, and the MPC will emit an audible alarm signal. To
turn off the audible alarm single, press the Audible Alarm Button once. Please refer
to Section 2.4 for additional button functions.
