1. Introduction
The RPM is an SNMP/Internet ready device designed to allow administrators to
remotely and locally control the AC power for up to eight connected devices, such as:
servers, routers, modems and telephone networks. With the expandable function of
allowing daisy chaining (cascading) of up to 16 client units, administrators can control a
total of 128 devices.
The RPM offers easy set up and user-friendly communication and control methods.
Most common connection of all is via the LAN using normal Ethernet connection. The
other option is to connect an external modem to the built in RS 232 port to allow dialing
up of the Internet. Once connected and properly set up, the administrator will be
notified of a web IP address and the administrator can manage the power of the
devices from anywhere in the world via the web browser.
The superiority of the RPM over other power management products is RPM gives you
control through a telephone (tone signals) with no need of a modem connection. Even
if the network locks up or Internet crashes, there is always a back up telephone control
option for administrators to control devices. With such powerful features,
administrators can be sure that they will always gain access to their devices no matter
where they are in the world.

3. Features
• Turn ON/OFF any AC powered device via network, phone or the front panel
control buttons.
• Integral 10/100Base-T Ethernet port for connection to your TCP/IP network.
• Support dial in by modem to control the AC power outlets.
• Address-Specific IP security masks prevent unauthorized source from
accessing the RPM menu through the network.
• Support NMS to control RPM by MIB. User also can use MIB to develop their
application interface.
• Download data and events log list to server.
• Daisy Chain expandable up to 16 units.
• Available in 115VAC and 230VAC models.
• When events occur, the RPM can notify user by email and trap according to
the pre-set conditions.
• Allows the user to configure the sequence in which power is turned on or off
for each outlet. This helps prevent in-rush currents at start-up, which can
cause overload conditions. Sequencing also allows the user to predetermine
which piece of equipment is turned on first, so that other equipment that is
dependant on that unit will function properly.
• Support Windows NT/2000 and XP to execute safe shutdown and reboot.
• Customize and schedule shutdowns and reboots.
• Supports temperature and humidity probe to monitor environmental
conditions.
