Getting Started

c)Switch Outlet On:

i.Web Browser Interface: From the Plug Control Menu, click the down arrow in the "Action" column for Plug A1 to display the drop down menu, then select "On" from the drop down menu and click on the "Execute Plug Actions" button.

ii.Text Interface: Type /ON A1 and press [Enter].

3.Logging Out: When you log off using the proper MPC command, this ensures that the unit has completely exited from command mode, and is not waiting for the inactivity timeout to elapse before allowing additional connections.

a)Web Browser Interface: Click on the "LOGOUT" link on the left hand side of the screen.

b)Text Interface: Type /X and press [Enter].

3.3. Installing and Operating the Optional MPC-DISPLAY Hardware

Use the supplied RJ-45 cable to connect the optional MPC-DISPLAY unit to the MPC unit. Connect one end of the RJ-45 cable to the “Remote” connector on the MPC front panel; connect the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 receptacle on the back side of the MPC-DISPLAY unit.

Note: The AUX Ports, located adjacent to the Remote port on the MPC front panel, are used for connection to additional, remote MPC units. For more information on connecting an MPC-DISPLAY unit or additional MPC units to the AUX or Remote ports, please refer to Sections 4.5 and 5.8.2 and Appendix C.2.

The MPC-DISPLAY unit will receive five volts of power (for operation) via the RJ-45 cable connected to the MPC unit.

To display amperage, kilowatts, volts and temperature for the MPC units that are attached to the MPC-DISPLAY, press the “Display” button to toggle to the LED for the desired MPC unit, and then press the “Display Selection” button several times to select the desired reading; each time the “Display Selection” button is pressed, the LED indicator adjacent to the button will toggle from Amps to kiloWatts to Volts to Temperature.

This completes the Quick Start Guide for the MPC. Prior to placing the unit into operation, it is recommended to refer to the remainder of this User’s Guide for important information regarding advanced configuration capabilities and more detailed operation instructions. If you have further questions regarding the MPC unit, please contact WTI Customer Support as described in Appendix D.

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.
