Western Telematic RPC-4840N - Manual (Page 7)

1. Introduction
Network equipment sometimes "locks-up", requiring a service
call just to flip the power switch to perform a simple reboot. The
RPC-4840N Heavy Duty Remote Power Controller gives you the
ability to reboot DC powered equipment from anywhere on the
LAN/WAN, or if the network is down, to simply dial-in from a
modem for out-of-band power control.
Intelligent Power Control
The RPC-4840N can communicate over any TCP/IP network
using standard Telnet, or out-of-band using an external modem
and terminal emulation. Each DC circuit can be assigned an
individual password, device name, reboot delay time and unique
power-up default status.
Security
Address specific IP security masks prevent unauthorized users
from accessing the RPC command menu via network. The RPC
provides two separate password security levels; System level and
User level. The System password allows access to all
configuration and command functions. The User password
allows limited access to command functions.
Easy to Use, Easy to Configure
The RPC-4840N can be configured over the network, via modem,
or locally via the RPC Console Port. Easy-to-use commands let
you assign a location name, set system parameters and view
circuit status. Circuits can be switched On, Off, or Booted using
circuit numbers or user-defined names.
Heavy Duty DC Power Control
The RPC-4840N can control up to 40 amps of DC power per
circuit. Since larger routers require as much as 30 amps, the
RPC has power control to spare. The optional second Circuit
Module allows the RPC to control power for two 40 amp, DC
powered instruments.
