NPM Manual
1. Product Introduction
NPM network power manager is an intelligent power managing system. The user can
control and manage outlets of each NPM through software. The administrators can control the
NPM from anywhere via Internet, or just dial-in from a modem for off-internet power control,
and also can perform the 0-800m short distance off-internet power control via RS-232, or
RS-485 in the LAN.
Through the NPM management software, the user can expediently configure the name of
each outlet, switch on/off, timing switch on/off, and look over current of individual outlet,
environment temperature, humidity, smoke, water, door open status, etc. For CLVER NPM
product, there is Four series, contain:NPM2000、NPM3000, NPM4000, NPM5000.
Security feature
NPM have two security levels, administrator level and user level. The administrator is allowed
to access all configuration and command functions. The user is allowed to access functions
which had been given property. User level security features are ideal for co-location
applications. It allows multiple users access to a certain outlet of NPM unit. Each NPM have
a system password and you can modify it. This password will reject the access of any PC
which is not allowed.
Convince installation
The on/off of the plugs are controlled by the simply ASCII commands which are sent via
network, modem, short distance PC (LAN). Its configuration is also simple and easy to install
following the menu of the installation program.
