Chapter 1: Introducing Remote Power Manager
The RPM is an Internet ready device designed to allow administrators to remotely and
individually 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. So even if
networks lock 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.

2.3 Daisy Chain Setup Procedure
The Remote Power Manager (RPM) can be Daisy Chained up to a maximum of sixteen units.
Each RPM in the Daisy Chain must have its own unique identification number. The default
ID# is “0 “. The first RPM must have the Internet Power Management Card install and must
be configured before you can begin Daisy Chaining any additional RPMs. Only the first
RPM requires the Internet Power Management Card. All of the other RPMs in the Daisy
Chain do not require that the Internet Power Management Card be installed. Follow the
procedure below to Daisy Chain the RPMs:
Figure 1 - First RPM
1. Make sure that the Terminator is plugged into the first RPM's iLink port (see Figure 1).
2. Plug the first RPM's power cord into utility power.
3. Turn the master power switch on.
4. Setup the RPM (see Setup Procedure page 9).
5. Configure the first RPM's ID number (each RPM must have it's own unique ID#, the
default ID# is "0").
Figure 2 - First and second RPM
6. Make sure that the second RPM has the Terminator plugged into the iLink port (see
Figure 2).
7. Connect the first and second RPM together with the iLink cable.
8. Plug the second RPM's power cord into utility power.
9. Turn the master power switch on.
10. Configure the second RPM's ID number (each RPM must have it's own unique ID#, the
default ID# is "0").
11. If there are only two RPMs required for this application, then this completes the Daisy
Chaining procedure and the RPMs are ready for use.
Page 6 of 32
12. If your application requires additional RPMs, then continue on with the Daisy Chaining
procedure.
Figure 3 - First, second and third RPM
13. Make sure that the third RPM has the Terminator plugged into the iLink port (see Figure
3).
14. Remove the Terminator from the second RPM.
15. Connect the second and third RPM together with the iLink cable.
16. Plug the third RPM's power cord into utility power.
17. Turn the master power switch on.
18. Configure the third RPM's ID number (each RPM must have it's own unique ID#, the
default ID# is "0").
19. If there are only three RPMs required for this application, then this completes the Daisy
Chaining procedure and the RPMs are ready for use.
20. If your application requires additional RPMs (maximum of sixteen), then repeat steps
13-19 of the Daisy Chaining procedure.

Chapter 8: Accessing RPM using a Telephone
This section guides you through control of RPM using a telephone.
1. Dial up the RPM.
2. After three rings the RPM will respond by sending out three short beeps to the caller.
Then the RPM waits for the user to enter the password.
3. The user enters an access password (default password is 123456789#).
4. The RPM will send out three short beeps to confirm a successful login, or one long
beep to deny access. The RPM will disconnect after three unsuccessful access
password attempts.
5. Once logged in, the remote user can punch in 4-8 digits. The first two digits specify
which RPM, the next digit specifies which output receptacle and the next digit specifies
which command. The last four digits specify the amount of time:
i. Command format: XXNA#:
ii. XX - 00—16 is the RPM’s device number for a daisy chain, if there is no daisy
chain, then any number is accepted.
iii. N - Outlet number: 1(A)—8(H), 9 controls all the outlets.
iv. A - Action type: 0=off, 1=on, 2=reset.
v. I.E. 0111# RPM01 turn on Outlet A.
vi. I.E. 0120# RPM01 turn off Outlet B.
vii. I.E. 0212# RPM02 reset outlet A.
viii. I.E. 01113600# means turn A on after 3600 minutes.
ix. I.E. 01103600# means turn A off after 3600 minutes.
x. I.E. 01123600# means reset A after 3600 minutes.
xi. Use a combination of 0111XXXX# or 0112XXXX# to get a diff erent delay time.
XXXX max value is 9999, which is about 166 hours or 6.94 days.
6. Use the "*" key to cancel a command at any time.
7. The RPM will acknowledge the receipt of the commands by issuing 2 short beeps. A
long beep indicates a failure or a non-recognizable command.
8. To change the password. The default password is 123456789#. The user has to enter
the previous password in order to change their password.
i. NOTE: The Password has to have a minimum of 7 digits and can have a
maximum of 10 digits.
9. The user enters 888# or whatever previous password. Then the RPM responds with
three short beeps acknowledging access granted. The user then enters the new
password as follows: 888XXXXXXXXXX#, and the RPM acknowledges with 2 short
beeps. Then user inputs 888XXXXXXXXXX# the second time to re-confirm the new
password. The RPM acknowledges with 4 short beeps, indicating that the password
has been changed.
10. Hang up to close any access.
11. Forgot telephone interface password? Please do the following steps to restore the
default password.
12. Dial up the RPM.
13. After three sequence rings, the RPM will respond by sending out 3 short beeps to the
caller and waiting for user to enter password. Then pressing the button A and H
simultaneously on the RPM within twenty seconds.
14. When the LED A and H blinking, release the two buttons, the RPM will respond by
sending out 4 short beeps to the caller. The password will be restored to default.
15. The RPM is in a waiting loop to receive the command string. Each command string
should be entered within 20 seconds. After 180 seconds without any user input, the
RPM will logout the user.
