CHAPTER 2: Overview
2. Overview
Electronic equipment sometimes “locks up,” requiring a service call just to flip the
power switch to perform a simple reboot. The Rackmount Remote Power Manager
lets you perform this function from anywhere. Simply point your browser to the
power manager’s IP address, enter the secure password, and you’re just a click away
from remote power on, off, or reboot.
In addition to Web browser access, the Rackmount Remote Power Manager can
also communicate over any TCP/IP network using standard Telnet™, or out-of-
band using an external modem and basic VT100™ type terminal emulation.
To ensure security, Web browser access requires an assigned user name and
password. Passwords transmitted via a Web browser use basic 64-bit encryption
techniques for secure access to your equipment.
The Rackmount Remote Power Manager provides two levels of operational
passwords: the system administrator level (it allows access to all configuration and
switching functions) and the user level (it allows access only to assigned plugs and
can’t be used to change the power manager’s configuration).
In addition to password security features, the power manager also includes an
address-specific IP security mask that can be used to prevent unauthorized network
access to the power manager’s command mode.
The power manager can be configured over the network, via modem, or locally via
its COM port. Easy-to-use commands let you assign a location name, set system
parameters, and view plug status. Outlets can be switched on, off, or booted using
plug numbers or names.
Two models are available. The Rackmount Remote Power Manager (PS580A) has
four switched 100- to 120-VAC power outlets. The PS581A has four switched 208- to
240-VAC power outlets.

CHAPTER 3: Installation
3. Installation
3.1 Power Cable (and Cable Keeper) Connection
The Rackmount Remote Power Manager includes a cable keeper, which is
designed to prevent the power supply cable from being accidentally disconnected
from the power manager. The Rackmount Remote Power Manager (PS580A or
PS581A) uses a pivoting, clip-style cable keeper.
NOTE
The power manager’s master power switch must be on in order for the
unit to operate.
CAUTION
• Before attempting to install the power manager, review the warnings
and cautions listed on page 5.
• This device should be operated only with the type of power source
indicated on the instrument nameplate. If you are not sure of the type
of power service available, contact your local power company.
• Maintain reliable grounding of the power manager. Pay particular
attention to supply connections when connecting to power strips,
rather than directly to the branch circuit.
To install the power cables to the PS580A or PS581A, follow these steps:
1. First, make sure that the power manager’s power cable is disconnected from
the power supply.
2. Next, swing the pivoting cable keeper out of the way.
3. The Rackmount Remote Power Manager has one AC power input. Connect
the power cable (included) to the power inlet, then swing the cable keeper
back, making sure that it snaps into place on the power manager, and make
certain that the cable is secure.
4. Connect the cable to an appropriate power inlet. Each power manager
supports up to 15 amps (PS580A) or 10 amps (PS581A) maximum.
Once the power supply is connected to the PS580A or PS581A, set the master
power switch to the on position. The Power On LED will light, and the Sys Rdy
LED will flash. This indicates that the system is ready.

RACKMOUNT REMOTE POWER MANAGER USER’S MANUAL
3.2 Connection to Switched Outlets
Connect the power cord from each switched device to a switched AC outlet on the
power manager. When power is applied to the power manager, the switched AC
outlets will be switched on. The power manager includes a power bus. The PS580A
bus supports a total of 15 amps; the PS581A bus supports a total of 10 amps.
3.3 COM/RS-232 Port Connection
The COM/RS-232 port is a male, DB9 connector, wired in a DTE configuration. In
the default state, the COM/RS-232 port is configured for 9600 bps, eight data bits,
one stop bit, and no parity. The COM/RS-232 port can be connected to either an
external modem or a local PC, but not to both items at the same time. Figure 3-1
shows the COM/RS-232 port interface.
Figure 3-1. COM/RS-232 port interface.
The Rackmount Remote Power Manager can be controlled via a TCP/IP network,
controlled by a local PC that communicates with the unit via cable, or controlled
via an external modem. To switch plugs or select parameters, commands are issued
to the power manager either via the network or via the COM/RS-232 port.
NOTE
It’s optional to connect both the network and console ports.
The COM/RS-232 port can be connected to either a local PC or an
external modem.
• Network port: Connect your 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T network interface to the
Rackmount Remote Power Manager’s network port. For more information,
refer to Section 3.4.

15
CHAPTER 3: Installation
• Local PC: Use the supplied null-modem cable to connect your PCs COM/
RS-232 port to the power manager’s COM/RS-232 port. Make sure that the
serial port mode is set to console as described in Section 4.3.3.
• External modem: Use a standard AT®to modem cable to connect your
external modem to the power manager’s COM/RS-232 port. Make sure that
the modem is initialized at the same default parameters as the console port.
Make certain that the serial port mode is set to modem as described in Section
4.3.3.
NOTE
When the power manager is shipped from the factory, RS-232 port
parameters are set as follows: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, one stop bit, no
parity. The power manager allows these parameters to be easily
redefined: see Section 4.3.3 for details.
3.4 Connecting the Network Cable
The network port is an RJ-45 Ethernet jack for connection to a TCP/IP network.
Connect your 10BASE-T cable to the network port. The power manager includes a
default IP address (192.168.168.168) and a default subnet mask (255.255.255.0).
When installing the power manager in a working network environment, we
recommend that you define network parameters as described in Section 4.3.4.
NOTE
The Rackmount Remote Power Manager features a half-duplex,
10BASE-T interface. If you’re connecting a router switch to the
Rackmount Remote Power Manager, note the following: When
connecting to a 100BASE-T interface, most router switches will
autosense to determine if the device is 100BASE-T or 10BASE-T and
then configure the network interface accordingly. If your router switch
does not autosense, the manager’s network interface port must be
manually set to half-duplex, 10BASE-T.

16
RACKMOUNT REMOTE POWER MANAGER USER’S MANUAL
4. Configuration
4.1 System Mode and User Mode
To restrict access to sensitive command functions, the Rackmount Remote Power
Manager features two operating modes: system mode and user mode.
• System mode allows access to all configuration menus, switching functions,
and status screens. The system mode status screens show on/off conditions for
all switched outlets and list all currently defined system parameters.
• User mode allows access to switching and reboot commands but does not allow
access to configuration functions. Users may only issue commands to, or view
status of, the plugs that are specifically allowed by their password.
The power manager displays a password prompt when the unit is contacted via the
network port or the COM/RS-232 port. The password entered at this prompt
determines whether the unit will start up in system mode or user mode. If the
system password is entered, the system mode will be active. If a plug password is
entered, the user mode will be active. The system password is defined via the
General Parameters menus (Section 4.3.1), and the plug passwords are defined via
the Plug Parameters menus (Section 4.3.2).
NOTES
• If you want to restrict access to configuration menus, you must define
the system password.
• If the system password is not defined, the power manager will always
start up in system mode, allowing unprotected access to configuration
and switching functions.
• If the system password is not defined, the password prompt will not
be displayed when you access the power manager via the text
interface. The prompt will always be displayed when the power
manager is contacted via the Web browser interface.
• When the power manager is contacted via the network, the password
prompt will also include a field for the user name. If you have not
defined a user name, leave this field blank, and only the password is
required to gain access to the power manager. The user name prompt
is not displayed when the power manager is contacted via the text
interface.

17
4.2 Communicating with the Rackmount Remote Power Manager
To configure the power manager or invoke command functions, you must first
connect to the power manager and access command mode. The power manager
offers two separate command interfaces: the Web browser interface and the text
