Command Reference Guide

/DPL Set All Plugs to Default States

Sets all switched outlets to their user-defined default state. For information on setting outlet defaults, please refer to Section 5.7.

Notes:

When this command is invoked in Administrator Mode or SuperUser Mode, it will be applied to all MPC outlets. When invoked in User Mode, the command will only be applied to the plugs that are allowed by the account.

If one or more optional AUX/Remote MPC units are connected to the AUX ports on your local unit, then the /DPL command will be applied to both the local MPC unit as well as any AUX/Remote MPC units.

Availability: Administrator, SuperUser, User

Format: /DPL[,Y] [Enter]

 

Where ,Y is an optional command argument, which can be included to suppress the

 

command confirmation prompt.

/C

Connect to Serial Port

When the RJ-45 AUX Ports and/or Remote Port have been configured as Serial Ports as described in Section 5.8.2, the /C command can be used to create a connection between the Network port and a serial mode AUX or Remote Port. In addition, the /C command can also be invoked to create a connection between the Network Port and the Console Port.

Notes:

User level accounts can only connect to the ports that are specifically permitted by the account.

The /C command cannot be used to create a connection between two serial ports.

Administrator and SuperUser level accounts are allowed to connect to any MPC Serial Port.

To terminate a serial port connection, either type ^X ([Ctrl] plus [X]) or invoke the currently defined disconnect sequence.

Availability: Administrator, SuperUser, User

Format: /C <x> [Enter]

Where x is the name of the serial port that you wish to connect to. The available ports are "1" (the Console Port), "Remote", "AUX1", "AUX2" and "AUX3".

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.
