MTC+ 3

Chapter 2 Introduction
This installation guide contains step by step instructions on how to correctly install the MTC+ The elements on the
MTC+ are described below:
Fig. 1: MTC+, description of parts.
2.1 Device Elements
• Main power supply connector: This should be connected to the power supply for the whole system i.e. the mains
(normally this is a wall socket or an uninterrupted power system).
• Controlled Power Supply Connector: Supplies power to the external device.
• Teldat router: Device controlling the MTC+ function.
• Input Management Interface: Teldat router commands receptor.
• Output Management Interface: To connect more than one MTC+ to a single Teldat router.
• Reset Button: Forces the device to reset to its initial state.
• Control LED: Provides information on device operation. When the device starts up, this blinks for a few seconds.
• Controlled power supply light. This indicates the state of the controlled power supply base (if the light is on, the
controlled power is receiving power from the main electricity supply).
• Consecutive ID (herinafter ID):This is the ID for the MTC+. Each MTC+ connected to a single Teldat router must
have a unique ID. To select the ID, simply increase the number.
2.2 Functionality
The MTC+ makes it possible to remotely control the power flow of any external device connected to Controlled
Power Supply. There are two possible scenarios:
• Allow power to flow: In this scenario, the Controlled Power Supply Light will be ON and the external device re-
ceives power (Note that this is the initial status of theMTC+).
• Cut power flow: In this scenario, the Controlled Power Supply Light will be OFF and the external device does not
receive power.
The change from one state to another is carried out through the management interface, which must be connected to
a Teldat router.
Pressing the Reset button for approximately 5s will cut the power supply of the controlled power supply interface.
2 Introduction Teldat S.A.
4MTC+

Chapter 3 Connections
Note
Before installing the router, please read the following instructions carefully!
Workplace Conditions. Main Characteristics
• Excessive cold and heat should be avoided, as should humidity and dust.
• Direct exposure to sunlight should be avoided, as well as other heat sources. The device should not be placed
amongst papers, magazines or other elements that could block natural air circulation.
• The device should not be placed very close to strong electromagnetic fields such as speakers, engines, etc.
• Knocks and/or strong vibrations should be avoided during transport, operation and storage.
Warning
The electric current in power cables, telephone lines and communication cables is dangerous. To pre-
vent electric shocks, before installing, handling or opening the equipment covers, connect and discon-
nect the cables following the steps set forth below:
To Connect
Check the MTC+ is not connected to the main electricity supply and that the external device is disconnected (the
on/off switch is in the OFF position).
Connect the data cable to the management router.
Connect the data cables to the MTC+.
Connect theMTC+ to the main electricity supply.
Connect the external device to the MTC+ Controlled Power Supply Connector.
Switch on the external device.
To Disconnect
Disconnect the data cable from the MTC+.
Switch off and then disconnect the external device from the Controlled Power Supply Connector.
Disconnect the MTC+ from the main electricity supply.
Warning
The MTC+, once connected to the main electricity supply and provided that a disconnection command
has not been sent, presents an active state in the Controlled Network Base. I.e., the device connected
to said base immediately receives power from the Electricity Mains.
3.1 Management Connection
The MTC+ can be connected to Teldat routers through a flat RJ45 connector (on the side of the router) and an RJ11
connector (on the side of the MTC+) or through a USB to RS232 adapter (USB male connector on the router side)
and an RJ11 connector (on the side of the MTC+).
The most typical connection is through a CONF port (RJ45-RJ11 flat cable). The CONF port in some router models
however, is not compatible for this type of connection. In these cases, a USB port can be used to connect the MTC+.
For further information on compatible connection modes for each router, please contact Teldat support.
If you wish to connect more than one MTC+ to a Teldat router, the connection must be in cascade mode. (See Sec-
tion 3.1.2.Cascade Connection Design.)
Regardless of the management connection you choose, you can use any type of Power Connection (or even a mix of
Teldat S.A. 3 Connections
MTC+ 5

them).
To check that there is connection between both devices, access the Router monitoring menu, select power-switch
via Telnet and run the version all command. The connected devices should respond. If the device does not respond,
please see the section on Troubleshooting.
3.1.1 Single Management Connection Design
Under this management connection, the power supply of a single external device can be controlled through the
MTC+.
The following images show the MTC+ management connection to the routers through CONF and USB port connect-
ors:
Fig. 2: Single Management Connection through the router CONF connector.
Fig. 3: Single Management Connection through the router USB connector.
3 Connections Teldat S.A.
6MTC+

The following paragraphs show images where the connection is through the CONF port to the router. Please note,
this connection is also valid for routers that use the USB port as a management interface.
3.1.2 Cascade Management Connection Design
A cascade connection design is needed in order to control the power flow of more than one external device with a
single Teldat router.
Note
The maximum number of MTC+ that can be connected to a single Teldat router is sixteen.
To connect several MTC+ in cascade, the output management interface for all devices (except the first) must be con-
nected to the input management interface of the next MTC+. The input management interface of the first MTC+
should be connected to the Teldat router and the output management interface of the last must remain unused (see
figure below).
The output management uses a flat RJ45 connector, while the input management interface uses an RJ11 connector.
Fig. 4: Cascade Management Connection.
Note
If one MTC+ does not receive power from the input power supply connector, you won't be able to com-
municate with the successive MTC+ connected in cascade.
3.2 Power Connection
Two types of connections are available.
3.2.1 Normal Power Connection Design
The MTC+ in this configuration, controls the power supply for one external device, which is not the router managing
the MTC+.
Warning
• All interconnected communication devices should be plugged to THE SAME GROUNDED POWER
OUTLET, which should at the same time be of good quality (lower than 10 ohms).
• Whether the workplace is provided with an uninterrupted power supply system (UPS), regulated sup-
ply or it is independent from the rest (such as lighting, etc.); it is highly recommended that all data
devices should be connected to the same power source. This will avoid operating and premature
aging problems of drivers and other components.

3.2.2 Connecting the Management router powered by MTC+
In this configuration, the MTC+ controls the router managing the MTC+.
If you use this, please bear in mind that:
• If you run the on command, the router is unavailable until you press the MTC+ Reset Button.
• On running reset, the router is temporally unavailable until it has restarted again, i.e. the current connection closes.

MTC+ 9

Chapter 5 Power-Switch Probe
This command activates a probe, which tests if the selected MTC+ has power supply. A SNMP trap is generated
when the MTC+ loses power and another when it regains power. There is an optional configuration parameter to en-
able a periodic trap linked to the MTC+power status.
To access this feature, go to P 5 and access the POWER-SWITCH configuration menu by running feature power-
switch.
The available commands are displayed by entering “?”.
POWER-SWITCH$?
no Negate a command or set its defaults
probe Configure a probe that will be testing if the
MTC+ has power.
exit Exit to parent menu
Syntax:
probe id <MTC+id> period <probe period> track <track period>
Track is optional: this enables a periodic SNMP trap with the MTC+ power supply status.
Example:
probe id f period 2 track 1
To configure a new probe (or disable the current one) enter no probe.
Note
The MTC+ power supply status should not be confused with the status of the controlled power supply
(the one we get when entering command status). The power supply status indicates if the MTC+ has
power (or not), whereas the other one indicates if the device we are controlling through the MTC+ has
power (or not).
