Power Nerve Center

Network administrators
now have flexible,

The MINUTEMAN RPM (Remote Power Manager) is the
ultimate power nerve center for controlling multiple
network devices and services. With the RPM, you can
individually control AC power for up to eight connected
devices such as servers, hubs, routers, modems, and
telephone systems. Up to 15 client RPM units can be
added to control a total of 128 devices.

Multiple methods of communication & control

The MINUTEMAN RPM offers several convenient and
flexible methods of communication and control over
network devices — most users connect it to their LAN using
a standard Ethernet connection. Unlike other power
management units, the RPM gives you control via a
telephone with no additional modem required — a very
useful feature when your network locks up or becomes
inoperable and no network connection is available.
Simply call your master RPM unit from anywhere in the
world and, using the touchtone keypad, enter your
password and key in commands to reset devices as
needed.

You can also connect an external modem to the
MINUTEMAN RPM via its built-in RS 232 port to dial-up to
the Internet. Once connected, the RPM emails you to
notify you that it is connected to the Web with a specific
address, allowing you to control the RPM through a Web
browser, just as if it were connected to the LAN. The RPM
also features scheduled output control — you can preset
a day of the week and a specific time to start up and
shutdown individual devices.

scalable access via the
network, a Web browser,
or a telephone.

To keep you informed of events such as a server
shutdown, the RPM can submit its notifications via pagers
or network broadcast messages.

MINUTEMAN® RPM™ – Remote Power Manager

Manage devices from anywhere in the world

Once you’ve configured the MINUTEMAN RPM and connected it to your network, you can easily control it from virtually anywhere
using a standard Web browser and your password. For example, you can reboot a locked network router in another city by simply
resetting the outlet to which the router is attached. The MINUTEMAN RPM is the perfect solution for network administrators who
manage one or more remote locations, such as an Internet Service Provider with several Points-of-Presence (POPs).
