Control from Anywhere
Minuteman RPMs offer a secure connection which is
accessible from any device with a standard internet browser,

connects to your network via CAT5 cable
• Control Individual Outlets: Power on/off, reboot, and
monitor up to 16 individual devices from a single IP
address
• Scheduled Management Actions: save power with
automatic shutdown and startup of devices over weekends or holidays
• Notications via SNMP, Email, or SMS: To keep
you informed of events such as a server shutdown, the
RPM can submit its notications via network broadcast,
email, or SMS text message
• Monitor Current Draw: View combined current draw
on the RPM in real time, and congure warning and
overload thresholds

Like Being Everywhere, All the Time
The Minuteman RPM is the ideal solution for network
administrators who manage one or more remote locations.
Once connected to the network, you can easily control it
from virtually anywhere using a standard web browser and
your password. With a simple click, power up, down, or
reboot any of up to 16 devices connected to the RPM. Automatic reboots of locked devices are also possible via ping
actions (see pgs. 2 & 3 for more details).
Minuteman RPM products include an easy-to-use
IP-based web interface for controlling and monitoring
connected devices.
Administrators can access this utility via the LAN or from
beyond via a secure connection to the native web Server
within the unit. Full monitoring, control, and conguration is
possible from any device with an internet browser, enabling
control from literally anywhere in the world.

RPM Benefits
Utilizing Minuteman's remote power manager products
allows technicians and administrators to:
• Save Time: Reboot remote devices in seconds, not
minutes or hours
• Increase Productivity: Eliminate help desk calls & lost
time when a device locks up: RPM noties & provides
automatic reboot capabilities
• Cut Costs: Eliminate service calls to remote locations
by managing devices from your computer or smartphone
Monitor RPM Information in Real Time
The Information tabs provide real time status of the RPM, including
real time combined current draw (g. 1), user congurable warning and
overload thresholds. Network information, including MAC address
and RPM name settings, are also displayed on the System tab (g. 2),
allowing quick reference for identication when multiple RPMs are in use.
g. 1: Main Interface
g. 2: System tab
Control Connected Devices
Within the four control tabs, users can control
individual outlets via On/Off/Reboot (OFF/
ON) commands (g. 4). Users can also group
outlets to allow multiple devices which work
together to be controlled simultaneously.
g. 4: Outlet tab
The user can also schedule power on, off,
or reboots at specic times/dates (one time or
recurring) for indivduals or groups of receptacles
(g. 5). With this feature, administrators can
save power by scheduling network downtime on
weekends and holidays.

g. 5: Schedule tab
g. 6: Ping Action tab
The Ping Action tab (g. 6) enables the
RPM to "ping" a device connected to a specic
receptacle. If unanswered, the device can be
rebooted to unlock it, preventing downtime.

Configuring the RPM
A wide array of settings are accessible in the conguration tabs,
allowing users to adapt individual or groups of outlets to the needs of
individual devices. These changes may be made on the y, providing
unparalleled versatility and adaptability.
g. 7: RPM tab
g. 8: Mail tab
Users can assign a descriptive name to each receptacle to prevent
confusion, and set a startup and power-down delay sequencing when
necessary (g. 7). Users can also set up to three email addresses (g. 8)
to receive notication messages when any event takes place, including
warning and overload thresholds, power events, and lockups.
Additional conguration parameters include:
Secure Connection with SSL
Minuteman's RPM products feature SSL security capability. When the SSL function is
enabled, all communication with the device is
done via HTTPs secure IP address, ensuring a
safe and secure connection.
The user is able to congure custom user ID
and password for SSL access.
Threshold Tab
Congure warning and
overload levels for amperage load on the RPM unit;
notications sent via email

location to monitor the status and review conguration information for all
RPM devices across a network. Features include:
• Function Menu: Provides device information as well as data/event
logging results for individual RPM units
• RPM List: Network tree showing all individual or group RPM on the
LAN
