INTRODUCTION
The ENVIROMUX®Remote Power Reboot Switch is used to remotely reboot and control power (ON/OFF) to a server or other
powered device over IP.
Two operating modes for power reboot:
oManual –select the outlet and turn the power on/off/cycle.
oAuto –scheduled, triggered, or configurable combination.
oScheduled –set date/time/duration of power cycle.
oTriggered
oPower on/off a device when a sensor connected to the digital input changes state.
oReboot (power cycle) and control power (ON/OFF) to unresponsive IP devices that are connected to the
PWR-RMT-RBT-C13 power outlet.
Configure, control, and monitor the unit via the easy-to-use web interface or HTTP REST API–makes it easy to control
power from anywhere in the world.
Two digital inputs to monitor alarm contacts, environmental sensors, relays, and switch closures.
oShut down power when water or other environmental threats are detected.
Two digital open collector outputs for control of external devices –drive relays for process control, security, and
environmental controls.
oDigital outputs activate upon triggered event or via the user interface.
Monitor (ping) up to two IP network devices.
oUnresponsive IP devices can be configured to trigger the outlet of PWR-RMT-RBT-C13 to power ON/OFF/Cycle.
Automatically configures network settings received from a connected DHCP server.
oIf a DHCP server is not found, the default static IP address will be used.
Dual password protection with separate user and administrator passwords.
Integrated mounting brackets for easy surface/wall mounting.
oOptional DIN mounting available.
The Remote Reboot Switch is the ideal solution for many applications, such as:
oRemote reboot of any device, router, server, kiosk, etc. The device need not be network attached.
oSecure sensitive devices by keeping them powered off when not in use. This prevents hackers from detecting them at
all times.
oPower down equipment when not needed for power savings and to save on wear and tear.
oPower up alert devices (sirens or lamps) or environmental systems (heaters, coolers, pumps, etc.)
Cascade an unlimited number of PWR-RMT-RBT-C13 using the digital I/O screw terminals.
oFor a single user interface, use with E-MNG-SH Self-Hosted Enterprise Environment Monitoring System Management
Software. (Support coming soon.)
Flash upgradeable.
Features coming soon:
oCompatibility with E-2D, E-5D, and E-16D as an IP sensor.
oCompatibility with E-MNG-SH Self-Hosted Enterprise Environment Monitoring System Management Software.
Optional:
For a model with DIN clips to mount in a DIN rail, order PWR-RMT-RBT-C13-D

INSTALLATION
1. Using the holes on the mounting flanges, secure the PWR-RMT-RBT-C13 in your desired location.
2. Connect one end of the power cord to the "AC IN" port in the PWR-RMT-RBT-C13, and the other end to a wall outlet. A power
source that is 90-264VAC at 50/60Hz can be connected.
Figure 1- Connect power and Ethernet cables
3. Connect the "ETHERNET" port to your LAN with a CAT5,5e/6/6a/7 cable. This cable can be up to 328 feet in length.
4. Connect the AC OUT receptacle to a 120VAC (maximum 15A) or 240VAC (maximum 10A) device to be controlled using a
suitable cable (see page 2for cables offered by NTI).
Figure 2- Connect AC OUT cable

NTI Power Remote Rebooter with C13 Connection
5. Connect the DIGITAL IN terminals to sensors that will act as triggers to power the PWR-RMT-RBT-C13 On and OFF.
Dry contact sensors can be connected to the PWR-RMT-RBT-C13 using 26-16AWG wire. Up to 2 sensors can be connected.
Two-wire switch-only type sensors can be connected to the plus (+) and ground ( ) terminals of each of 2 sets of terminals.
Figure 3- Connect Digital Input sensors
6. Connect the DIGITAL OUT terminals to devices that can be controlled by the PWR-RMT-RBT-C13 using 26 to 16AWG wire.
Digital Outputs on the PWR-RMT-RBT-C13 have an open-collector design for the control of up to 2 relays, solenoids, LEDs, and
other devices that operate at voltages between 0-24VDC (maximum 500mA).

DIN Clip Installation
If you purchased the DIN clip option for your PWR-RMT-RBT-C13 (PWR-RMT-RBT-C13-D), the clips can be attached using the
hardware provided. Pass the screw through the flat washer, then through a hole in the mounting flange, and screw it tightly into
the threaded hole in the clip. Orient the clips so they allow you to mount the PWR-RMT-RBT-C13-D in the position your
application demands.

DEVICE DISCOVERY TOOL
In order to easily locate NTI Devices on a network, the NTI Device Discovery Tool may be used. The Discover Tool can be
downloaded from http://www.networktechinc.com/download/d-environment-monitor-micro.html, unzipped and saved to a location
on your PC. To open it just double-click on the file NTIdiscover.jar . This will open the NTI Device Discovery Tool.
Note: The Device Discovery Tool requires the Java Runtime Environment (version 6 or later) to operate. Here is a link to
the web page from which it can be downloaded.
Note: The computer using the Device Discovery Tool and the NTI Device must be connected to the same subnet in order
for the Device Discovery Tool to work. If no devices are found, the message “No Devices Found” will be displayed.
Tip: If your Windows program asks which program to open the NTIDiscover.jar file with, select the Java program.
Figure 7- Device Discovery Tool
Click on the “Detect NTI Devices” button to start the discovery process. After a short time, the tool will display all NTI devices on
your network, along with their network settings.
How to Use the Device Discovery Tool
To Change a Device’s Settings, within the row of the device whose settings you wish to change, type in a new setting (one
field at a time) and click on the Submit button on that row. Update the IP Address, Mask, and Gateway as needed, one at a
time. If the tool discovers more than one device, the settings for all devices can be changed in the same fashion. (The “Submit
All” button is not supported by this product.)
To Refresh the list of devices, click on the Refresh button.
To change more than one field; 1.Change a field, click Submit, wait 30 seconds as the ENVIROMUX reboots automatically,
2. Click Refresh to update the discovered settings.
3. Change another field, and repeat. Click Close when finished.
“Blink LED” is not supported on this product.

OPERATION VIA WEB INTERFACE
A user may monitor and configure the settings of the PWR-RMT-RBT-C13 and any sensor connected to it using the Web Interface
via any web browser (see page 2 for supported web browsers). To access the Web Interface, connect the PWR-RMT-RBT-C13
to the Ethernet (page 4). Use the Device Discovery Tool (page 7) to setup the network settings. Then, to access the web
interface controls, the user must log in.
Note: In order to view all of the graphics in the Web Interface, the browser’s JavaScript must be enabled.
By default, the PWR-RMT-RBT-C13 is configured to dynamically assign network settings received from a DHCP server on the
network it is connected to. (This can be changed to a static IP address to manually enter these settings in the Network Settings on
page 16.) The PWR-RMT-RBT-C13 will search for a DHCP server to automatically assign its IP address each time the unit is
powered up. If the PWR-RMT-RBT-C13 does not find a DHCP server, the address entered into the static IP address field (page
16 -default address shown below) will be used. If a DHCP server on the network has assigned the IP address, use the Device
Discovery Tool to identify the IP address to enter when logging in to the PWR-RMT-RBT-C13.
Note: The computer using the Device Discovery Tool and the NTI Device must be connected to the same subnet in order
for the Device Discovery Tool to work. If no devices are found, the message “No Devices Found” will be displayed.
Log In and Enter Password
To access the web interface, type the current IP address into the address bar of the web browser. (The default IP address when
DHCP is not enabled is shown below):
A log in prompt requiring a user name and password will appear:
Figure 8- Login prompt to access web interface
User Name = root
Password = nti
(lower case letters only)
Note: usernames and passwords are case sensitive

Note: If you change the root user name or password to something
other than "root" and "nti" (page 30), and you forget either of
these, in order to regain access to the PWR-RMT-RBT-C13, use the
"Restore Defaults" button to reset the Username and Password.
