it impossible to communicate. The RPB+ Remote Power Boot Switch can switch AC power on 5 individually controlled plugs, allowing
attached equipment to reset (re-boot). ASCII commands are sent to the RS-232 Control Port to select plugs, and specify On, Off, or Boot
operations. A convenient Status Screen shows On/Off conditions at each plug. RPB+ features include a security password, Location I.D. field,
and plug labels to identify the device connected to each plug. Features: q Remotely Toggles AC Power to Five Separate Outlets. q Serial RS232
Control Port Interfaces Directly with a PC or External Modem, Allowing Local or Remote Control. q Status Display Shows Plug Labels and

Guide 1. Switched AC Outlets (Plugs 1 - 5): For connection to up to five AC devices. Each outlet is capable of switching up to 15 Amps. The
total for all five outlets must not exceed 15 Amps. 2. SetUp Switches (RATE): A bank of four DIP Switches which set the Control Port baud rate,
select the Off Time duration, enable/disable the Password Option, and enable/disable the Read Only Mode. 3. RS232 (Control) Port: For
connection to an external modem or local PC. The RPB+ accepts ASCII commands via the Control Port. 4. DEFAULT Button: Reads Rate Switch
settings and sets parameters accordingly. This allows the user to change Rate Switch settings without re-booting the RPB+ and connected
devices. The Default Button can also be used to bypass the Password Prompt. 5. Power Cable (115 VAC Units) Power Cable Receptacle (230
VAC Units) 6. Circuit Breaker: 15 Amps 7. Power Switch 3. Installation 3.1. SetUp Switches The SetUp Switches select the baud rate and Off
Time, and enable/disable the Password feature and Read Only Mode. If switch settings are changed while the unit is powered On, press the
Default Button to re-read switches. The Default Button allows the user to change switch settings while power is on, without re-booting the
RPB+ and connected devices. Note: If Rate Switch

settings are changed while the unit is powered on, new parameters will not take effect until the Default Button is pressed, or the RPB+ is
powered Off and On. Off Time: When a boot cycle is initiated, the "Off Time" determines the length of time the device will remain off until
power is restored. Password: When enabled, a password is required in order to access the RPB+ Command Mode (Default = [Enter]). To re-
define the Password, refer to Section 4. Read Only Mode: When enabled, the /P command (Define Parameters) is suppressed. This
Guide allows the user to invoke On/Off/Boot commands, but prevents redefinition of parameters such as the Password and Power-Up
Default. Switch Function Up Down 1 Control Port Baud Rate 2 Off Time 10 sec. 5 sec.* 3 Password Function Disable Enable* 4 Read
Only Mode Enable Disable* 2400 bps 9600 bps* * = Factory Setting 3.2. Control Port Connection The male, DB9 connector (labeled "RS232")
is used for connection to an external modem or local PC. The RS232 Port uses a DTE configuration, similar to an AT computer. Figure 3
describes the Control Port interface. Figure 3: RS-232 (Control Port) Interface Schematic 3.2.1. Connecting to a Modem When connecting
directly to an external modem, use a standard AT to Modem cable. Make certain the modem is initialized at the same baud rate as the RPB+
(SetUp Switch 1). The modem must be placed in Auto-Answer mode, and set to answer in one ring. Please refer to the user's guide for your
external modem in order to determine the appropriate AT command file:///C|/WEBPAGE/guides/rpbp/build/rpbpguid.htm (5 of 12)
