it impossible to communicate. The RPB+ Remote Power Boot Switch can switch AC power on 5 individually controlled plugs, allowing
attached equipment to reset (re-boot). ASCII commands are sent to the RS-232 Control Port to select plugs, and specify On, Off, or Boot
operations. A convenient Status Screen shows On/Off conditions at each plug. RPB+ features include a security password, Location I.D. field,
and plug labels to identify the device connected to each plug. Features: q Remotely Toggles AC Power to Five Separate Outlets. q Serial RS232

Guide 1. Switched AC Outlets (Plugs 1 - 5): For connection to up to five AC devices. Each outlet is capable of switching up to 15 Amps. The
total for all five outlets must not exceed 15 Amps. 2. SetUp Switches (RATE): A bank of four DIP Switches which set the Control Port baud rate,
select the Off Time duration, enable/disable the Password Option, and enable/disable the Read Only Mode. 3. RS232 (Control) Port: For
connection to an external modem or local PC. The RPB+ accepts ASCII commands via the Control Port. 4. DEFAULT Button: Reads Rate Switch
settings and sets parameters accordingly. This allows the user to change Rate Switch settings without re-booting the RPB+ and connected
devices. The Default Button can also be used to bypass the Password Prompt. 5. Power Cable (115 VAC Units) Power Cable Receptacle (230
VAC Units) 6. Circuit Breaker: 15 Amps 7. Power Switch 3. Installation 3.1. SetUp Switches The SetUp Switches select the baud rate and Off
Time, and enable/disable the Password feature and Read Only Mode. If switch settings are changed while the unit is powered On, press the
Default Button to re-read switches. The Default Button allows the user to change switch settings while power is on, without re-booting the
RPB+ and connected devices. Note: If Rate Switch

8. settings are changed while the unit is powered on, new parameters will not take effect until the Default Button is pressed, or the RPB+ is
powered Off and On. Off Time: When a boot cycle is initiated, the "Off Time" determines the length of time the device will remain off until
power is restored. Password: When enabled, a password is required in order to access the RPB+ Command Mode (Default = [Enter]). To re-
define the Password, refer to Section 4. Read Only Mode: When enabled, the /P command (Define Parameters) is suppressed. This

is used for connection to an external modem or local PC. The RS232 Port uses a DTE configuration, similar to an AT computer. Figure 3
describes the Control Port interface. Figure 3: RS-232 (Control Port) Interface Schematic 3.2.1. Connecting to a Modem When connecting
directly to an external modem, use a standard AT to Modem cable. Make certain the modem is initialized at the same baud rate as the RPB+
(SetUp Switch 1). The modem must be placed in Auto-Answer mode, and set to answer in one ring. Please refer to the user's guide for your
external modem in order to determine the appropriate AT command file:///C|/WEBPAGE/guides/rpbp/build/rpbpguid.htm (5 of 12)
[3/9/2000 5:08:10 PM] _x000C_RPB+; Remote Power Boot Switch -- User's Guide string. 3.3. Power Connection The Power Switch located on
the back panel must be "On" in order for the RPB+ to operate. Each time the unit is powered On, the five AC outlets will be switched On or
Off, as dictated by the Power-Up Default String (see Section 4.1). Each outlet is capable of switching up to 15 Amps of AC power. The total for
all 5 outlets cannot exceed 15 Amps. Figure 4: RPB+ Cable Connections 4. Start-Up / Configuration 1. Access the RPB+ Command Mode: The
RPB+ is transparent to parity and will accept 7 or 8 bit characters, but will always answer back at 8 bits, no parity. Make certain your
communications program (e.g. ProComm) is set for the appropriate baud rate, bits, and parity. It is also recommended to set the
communications program for TTY mode. . Via Modem: Start your communications program. Dial the external modem connected to the RPB+.
Wait for the Connect message and proceed to Step 2. b. Via Local PC: Start your communications program.

user to define default On/Off conditions for each switched plug as described in Section 4.1. Key in the desired Power-Up Defaults and press
[Enter]. d. Echo Mode: When Echo Mode is enabled, commands sent to the RPB+ will be echoed back to your PC or terminal, allowing
keyboard entries to be displayed by your communications program. To enable or disable the Echo Mode, type Y or N, press [Enter], then
continue with the parameter definition routine. When the "RPB+>" prompt returns, type /D [Enter]. q q Note: The Echo Mode will not be
enabled / disabled until the /D command is invoked. If the Default String includes invalid or missing characters, the /D command will not
function. e. Plug Labels: Allows the user to identify the device connected to each plug (e.g. "SERVER"). Key in the desired name (up to 16
characters) and press [Enter]. 4.1. The Power-Up Default String The Power-Up Default String allows the user to select default On/Off
conditions for each switched AC outlet. When the RPB+ is powered up, or when the /D command (Set Defaults) is invoked, each outlet will be
set according to the Default String. Note: q The Power-Up Default String includes five characters; each character determines the default
On/Off condition for the corresponding plug. The first character applies to Plug 1, the second character applies to Plug 2, and etc. q To set a
plug to default "ON" enter a one (1); to set a plug to default "OFF", enter a zero (0). q If the Default String includes invalid or missing
characters, plugs will be switched "Off" when the unit is powered up, regardless of the conditions shown by the Status Screen. In addition,
the /D command will not function. file:///C|/WEBPAGE/guides/rpbp/build/rpbpguid.htm (8 of 12) [3/9/2000 5:08:11 PM] _x000C_RPB+;
Remote Power Boot Switch -- User's Guide Example 1: To set default On/Off conditions as follows: ON: Plugs 1 and 5 OFF: Plugs 2, 3, and 4
The Power-Up Default String would be defined as "10001". Example 2: To set default plug conditions as follows: ON: Plugs 3, 4, and 5 OFF:
Plugs 1 and 2 The Power-Up Default String would be defined as "00111". 5. Operation The device connected to the Control Port must send
ASCII characters at the same data rate as the RPB+. The unit accepts 8 bits no parity, or 7 bits even or odd parity, but will always answer back
at 8 bits, no parity. Access the RPB+ Command Mode as described in Section 4, Step 1. When the "RPB+>" prompt appears, the user may
invoke the following commands. Note: q Commands are not case sensitive. q Wait for the "RPB+>" prompt to appear before entering
commands. The prompt will not re-appear until the previous command is complete. q If an invalid command or parameter is entered, the
RPB+ will respond with the "?" message. 1. Switch Plug(s) On: To power-on one or all of the five switched plugs, type /n ON [Enter]. Where
"n" is a plug number from 1 to 5 and an asterisk (*) indicates the command should be applied to all plugs. 2. Switch Plug(s) Off: To power-off
one or all of the five switched plugs, type /n OFF [Enter]. Where "n" is a plug number from 1 to 5 and an asterisk (*) indicates the command
should be applied to all plugs. Note that "OFF" can also be entered as "OF". 3. Boot Plug(s): To initiate a Boot cycle at one or all of the
switched plugs, type /n BOOT [Enter]. Where "n" is a plug number from 1 to 5 and an asterisk (*) indicates the command should be applied to
all plugs. Note that "BOOT" can also be entered as "B". The RPB+ will display a series of periods (dots) while the Boot cycle is in progress. 4.
