Using the 9FRJ45PC-1 adapter (or other
applicable adapter) and the RJ08X007
crossed cable, connect the serial port of your
computer to the RJ-45 port labeled “EIA-
232” on the back of your RPC unit.
Load serial port communications software.
Configure host terminal’s serial
communications parameters to match the
RPC. RPC factory serial communications
parameters are 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit, and no parity.
OPERATION
The RPC’s main menu allows the user to
monitor and control the equipment attached
to each of the RPC-2 and RPC-2A’s six
receptacles. From this menu, you can turn
on, turn off, or reboot attached equipment,
individually, or all equipment,
simultaneously.
The RPC recognizes three basic operating
commands: ON n<cr>, OFF n<cr>, and
REBOOT n<cr>, where n represents the
outlet number and <cr> represents a carriage
return.
There are six red LEDs on the front of the
RPC unit. There is a corresponding red
LED for each of the RPC’s six receptacles.
If any or all of the LEDs are illuminated,
corresponding receptacle(s) are turned
"ON," and consequently, attached
equipment is receiving power. If
any or all of the LEDs are not illuminated,
corresponding receptacle(s) are turned
“OFF.”
