Configuration
The RCM-O and RCU-O series units list all available outlets under “Configuration” on the
Settings tab of the Control page. Each outlet has five fields associated with it:
Figure 48: Outlet Configuration
 Name: A friendly name to easily identify what is plugged into the outlet. For example:
“Mail Server”
 URL: A URL associated with the equipment plugged into the outlet. This will appear as a
clickable link on the Control Actions Tab next to the outlet status information.
 Power-On Delay: Delay from the time the “On – Delayed” action is executed until the
outlet will turn on.
 Power-Off Delay: Delay from the time the “Off – Delayed” action is executed until the
outlet will turn off.
 Reboot: Delay from the time the “Reboot-Delayed” action is executed to the time the
selected outlets will be turned off.
 Reboot Duration: Delay from the time the “Reboot” or “Reboot-Delayed” action is
executed and each selected outlet has turned off until the outlet will turn back on.
Note: All delays are in seconds.
Power-On Actions
The state of each of the unit’s switched outlets on unit power-up is user configurable by setting
a power-on action.
Available settings are:
 Delay: Used in conjunction with On and Last actions to allow sequencing of outlet power-up
to prevent overloading circuit breakers with inrush current.
 Off: Leaves the outlet off until turned on manually via the Control Actions page.
 On: Turns the outlet on.
 Last: Returns the outlet to its state prior to the unit losing power.
Figure 49: Outlet Power-On Action Configuration
Tip: To emulate legacy RCM or RCU behavior for a particular outlet, set the delay to 0 and action to On.
Note: Outlets with their delay values set to 0 will perform the selected action immediately upon receiving
power
.
Note for units with built-in circuit breakers: Should one of the unit’s circuit breakers trip, upon being
reset any outlets powered by that breaker will perform their power-on actions.
