Remote Power Switch (AC) Overview
1
Fig. 1.1 Deploy this power switch at critical locations to switch on, off, and reboot equipment from miles
away.
If you’ve ever had to jump in your truck and drive hours to a site to reboot jammed equipment, you
already know exactly why you need the Remote Power Switch (AC). With this power switch, you’ll
power on/off and reboot all your critical devices - right from your desk at the Central Office.
Using any PC on your network or dialup, you can operate controls and check temperature at the site - all
without rolling a single truck. The web browser supports HTTPS (via SSL encryption), allowing you to
browse securely.You also have the build option to use the following integrated RTUfunctions: 16
discretes, 4 analogs, 2 controls.
1 X 8 Version: The Remote Power Switch (AC) controls up to eight 110VAC outlets. Asingle 20 Amp
max input feed will power eight dedicated 10 Amp max outputs while also powering the unit. The total
output current cannot exceed the maximum 20 Amp input current.
2 X 3 Version: This version of the Remote Power Switch (AC) is equipped with Primary and Secondary
power feeds. The unit allows dual 20 Amp max input feeds to power two groups of three dedicated 10
Amp max outputs while also powering the unit. This means that a single input will feed three individual
outputs. The total output current per outlet cannot exceed the Maximum 20 Amp input current.

Remote Power Switch (AC) front panel
6
Fig. 6.1. Remote Power Switch (AC) Front panel connections. Note: If using the 2 x 3 version, the unit will have 6
control buttons on the front panel. The 1 X 8 version is shown above.
Remote Disable button6.1
Hold the Disable button for 3 seconds to disable remote access to the unit. This is useful while on-site,
so that unit settings cannot be changed while you are working. Disabling remote access also means
you cannot change the state of control relays or reboot the system.
Craft Port6.2
Use the front panel craft port to connect the Remote Power Switch (AC) to a PC for onsite unit
configuration. To use the craft port, connect the included DB9 download cable from your PC's COMport
to the craft port. Pinout is shown above for reference, but this is a standard DB9 to DB9.
Control Buttons6.3
Normally, this unit is controlled remotely. However, control buttons on the front panel were added to
facilitate local control. This is ideal during your initial testing.
To control power to your equipment while physically on site, use the control buttons located on the front
panel of the Remote Power Switch (AC). Press and hold one of the buttons for at least a second to
toggle on-off power to the corresponding outlet. You should hear the internal relay latch and release
power to the associated power plug on the back panel. The corresponding LED will also turn from green
to off. Press and hold the button again for 1 second and you will hear the relay latch, re-applying power
to the outlet and turning the front LED from off to green.
To perform this same task remotely, log on to the internal web browser to access the controls. See
section "Remote Power Switch Web Browser" for more detail.

12
Circuit Breaker6.4
The 1x8 Remote Power Switch has its circuit breaker located on the front of the unit controlling the units
input power. It is rated to protect your equipment from 100Vto 240V with a current of 20Amps max. The
2x3 Remote Power Switch has two circuit breakers located in the front independently controlling power
inputs Aand B.
Quick Start: How to Connect to the Remote Power
Switch
7
Use the following instructions to give the unit an IP address, subnet and gateway through the front craft
port (TTYinterface) to start. Once these settings are saved and you reboot the unit, you can access it
over LAN to perform the rest of your changes via the Web Browser interface. NOTE: Use included DB9
craft port. DPS Part # D-PR-045-10A-04.
Alternative option: You can skip the TTYinterface by using a LANcrossover cable directly from your
PC to the Remote Power Switch (AC) and access its Web Browser.
...via Craft Port (using TTY Interface)7.1
1. The simplest way to connect to the Remote Power Switch (AC) is over a physical cable
connection between your PC's COMport and the unit's craft port. Note: You must be connected
via craft port or Telnet to use the TTYinterface. Make sure you are using the straight through (1 to
1) Male to Female DB9-DB9 download cable provided with your Remote Pow er Switch (AC) to
make a craft port connection. We'll be using HyperTerminal to connect to the unit in the following
example - however, most terminal-emulating programs should work.
To access HyperTerminal using Windows:
2. Click on the Start menu > select Programs > Accessories > Communications >
HyperTerminal.

13
3. At the Connection Description screen, enter a
name for this connection. You may also select an
icon. The name and icon do not affect your ability
to connect to the unit.
4. At the Connect To screen, select Com port
you'll be using from the drop down and click
OK. (COM1 is the most commonly used.)
5. Select the following COMport options:
• Bits per second: 9600
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
Once connected, you will see a blank
HyperTerminal screen. Press Enter to activate.
6. When prompted, enter the default user
name admin and password dpstelecom.
NOTE: If you don't receive a prompt for your
user name and password, check the Com port
you are using on your PC and make sure you
are using the cable provided.
Additional cables can be ordered from DPS

...via LAN7.2
Connection through Ethernet port
To connect to the Remote Power Switch (AC) via LAN, all you need is the unit's IP address
(Default IP address is 192.168.1.100).
If you DON'T have LAN, but DO have physical access to the Remote Power Switch (AC), connect
using a LAN crossover cable. NOTE: Newer PCs should be able to use a standard straight-through LAN
cable and handle the crossover for you. To do this, you will temporarily cshange your PC's IP address
and subnet mask to match the factory default IP settings. Follow these steps:
1. Get a LAN crossover cable and plug it directly into the Remote Power Switch (AC)'s LANport.
2. Look up your PC's current IP address and subnet mask, and write this information down.
3. Reset your PC's IP address to 192.168.1.200. Contact your IT department if you are unsure how
to do this.
4. Reset your PC's subnet mask to 255.255.0.0. You may have to reboot your PC to apply your
changes.
5. Once the IP address and subnet mask of your computer coincide with the unit, you can access
the Remote Power Switch (AC) via a Telnet session or via Web browser by using the unit's
default IP address of 192.168.1.100.
6. Provision the Remote Power Switch (AC) with the appropriate information, then change your
computer's IP address and subnet mask back to their original settings.
Now you're ready to do the rest of your configuration via LAN. Plug your LAN cable into the Remote
Power Switch (AC) and see Section 9, "Logging On to the Remote Power Switch (AC)" to continue
databasing using the Web Browser.

16
TTY Interface
