SecureLinx SLP Remote Power Manager 6

1: Introduction
The Lantronix SLP Remote Power Manager family of products provides easy,
practical, and secure solutions for power distribution, power management and load-
measurement for remote equipment and branch AC circuits.
The SLP Remote Power Manager supports the elimination of unnecessary trips to
remote locations by allowing remote control of the power on/off status for distant
critical equipment, minimizing the impact of locked-up devices on mission-critical
systems.
Features and Benefits
SLP models are available in 8-outlet and 16-outlet configurations for 100-120VAC
and 208-240VAC up to 16A. Expansion models are available in 8-outlet and 16-
outlet configurations for 100-120VAC and 208-240VAC up to 16A. See Models on
page 101.
Communication Access Modes
All models are equipped standard with a RS-232 (serial) port and a 10/100 Base-T
Ethernet port for Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), and web browser access.
Power Distribution
Up to 16A/24A of AC power (dependant on model) can be distributed across up to
sixteen attached devices. See Models on page 101 for available models.
Remote Power Management
Remote control of power outlets allows individual on/off and reboot control of up to 16
devices or up to 32 devices with the addition on an expansion unit.
Load and Environment Measurement
Load measurement eliminates guesswork by supplying the cumulative operating load
in amperes. This allows on-site technicians to maximize the equipment installed and
operated on a circuit without concern. Use of the circuit is maximized, while
effectively allowing a 10% to 20% safety margin. Remote users also may access this
information at any time from the command line or web browser interface.
Optionally, temperature and humidity sensors allow monitoring of key environmental
conditions at remote facilities.
Power-up Sequencing
SecureLinx SLP Remote Power Manager 7

1: Introduction
When powered on, each of the power outlets power sequentially with a two-second
delay between each outlet. Power sequencing staggers the individual loads,
eliminating the potential of a blown fuse or circuit breaker due to excessive in-rush
current and allows circuit support for operating load capacities of 80% to 90%.
Outlet Grouping
For operations across multiple attached devices or devices with multiple or redundant
power supplies, include outlets in one or more named groups of outlets. This allows
changes to all outlets in the named group with a single command sequence.
Security
Units ship with one predefined administrative user account. The administrator can
create up to 128 user accounts, with individualized access to outlets and commands.
All accounts support username and password protection. For configurations
requiring multiple fully-privileged users, the administrator can grant administrative
privileges to other user accounts in the system.
User Interfaces and LEDs
Two types of user interfaces are available: the web browser and the command line
interface. For easy outlet recognition, assign descriptive names to both individual
outlets and outlet groups for use in control commands. For the on-site technician,
LEDs indicate individual outlet power status and cumulative power load.
Automatic Timeout
For added security, a user session automatically terminates after five minutes of
inactivity; if a user is called away unexpectedly, an unprotected channel does not
remain open indefinitely.

and two mounting L-brackets with two nut plates and four sets of screws and
washers
Horizontal/Rack (SLP-H, SLPX* models) – two mounting brackets and four
screws
RJ45 to RJ45 serial rollover cable
RJ45 to DB9F serial port adapter (for connection to standard DB9M DTE serial
port)
Outlet retention clips, one per outlet (208-240V units only)
Power input retention bracket hardware
Two removable T-brackets with two 40mm screws
Additional required Items:
Phillip screwdriver
Screws, washers and nuts to attach the SLP to your rack
Power input cord (purchased separately)
*SLPY, SLPX includes RJ12 link cable
Equipment Overview
The outlets are labeled 1 through 16. These numbers may be used in commands that
require an outlet name. See Outlet Naming and Grouping for more information. The
power inlet connects to the electrical power source. Figure 2-1 shows the hardware
features of the SLP.
Note: Models SLP-H8 and SLP-V16 are displayed in the following
illustration. Other models may have variations.
