An Important Notice

This manual contains important safety instructions that should be followed during the installation and the operation of the Remote Power Manager (RPM).

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• To ensure safety in all applications ensure that a Qualified Service Personnel installs the system.
- Make sure that the AC Utility outlet is properly grounded.
- Do not open the unit there are no user serviceable parts inside. Servicing of RPM should be performed by Qualified Service Personnel Only.
- Please make sure that the input voltage of the RPM matches the supply voltage.
- Make sure the RPM is installed in the proper environment as specified.
- This RPM series is ONLY intended to be installed in an indoor temperature controlled environment that is free of conductive contaminants.
- Do not operate the RPM in: extremely dusty and/or unclean areas, locations near heating devices, water or excessive humidity, or where the RPM is exposed to direct sunlight.
- Select a location, which will provide good air circulation for the RPM at all times.
- CAUTION – To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a branch circuit with over current protection in accordance with the National Electric Code.
- CAUTION - Connect the RPM to a two pole, three wire grounding AC wall outlet. The receptacle must be connected to the appropriate branch protection (circuit breaker or fuse).

1. Product Introduction

The RPM1521E is an Internet ready SNMP device designed with integrated versatile functions including power control, temperature monitoring, and remote web administration, event alerts, which helps system administrators or IT personnel to monitor and control their connected equipment and take preventive measures when needed. Allows an administrator to remotely control the AC power for two connected devices, such as: servers, routers, modems, DVRs, security and telephone equipment.

The RPM1521E offers easy setup, user-friendly communications and control methods. Easily connects to the LAN using normal Ethernet connection. Once connected and properly set up, the administrator can manage the AC power of the devices from anywhere in the world via a web browser, which greatly reduces the need for on-site service.

Additional benefits of the RPM1521E:

• Improves administrative efficiencies with remote power monitoring and control
• Reduces system down time without dispatching service personnel to remote locations
  • Monitoring and management from anywhere in the world
• Surge protection for the connected equipment
  • Temperature monitoring
  • Supports secure email (TLS) such as Gmail
• Notification via email, SNMP trap, SMS text messaging

1-1 Applications

  • LEDs for power status and control mode indication.
• Supports Power Start sequencing to prevent all of the connected devices from starting simultaneously to limit the in-rush current to the RPM.
• Easy web setup for scheduling daily, weekly, monthly and yearly power operations on a specific outlet.
• The Auto-Ping feature will monitor and auto detect any failed network equipment and perform a timed reboot.
• IP filter/mask function helps manage user privileges and prevent unauthorized access to the control menu through the network.
• Instant email, SMS text messages and SNMP trap notification will be generated when power events occurred.
• Provides multi-group accounts (administrator/manager/general) to let different users control different power outlets.
  • Supports SYSLOG.

1-5 Package Contents

1-6 Receiving Inspection

After removing your RPM from its carton, it should be inspected for damage that may have occurred in shipping. Immediately notify the carrier and place of purchase if any damage is found. Warranty claims for damage caused by the carrier will not be honored. The packing materials that your RPM was shipped in are carefully designed to minimize any shipping damage. In the unlikely case that the RPM needs to be returned to MINUTEMAN, please use the original packing material. Since MINUTEMAN is not responsible for shipping damage incurred when the system is returned, the original packing material is inexpensive insurance.

PLEASE SAVE THE PACKING MATERIALS!

2. Installation and Setup

2-1 Hardware Installation

The RPM1521E is intended to be installed in a temperature controlled environment that is free of conductive contaminants. Select a location, which will provide good air circulation for the RPM1521E at all times. Avoid locations near heating devices, water or excessive humidity, or where the RPM1521E is exposed to direct sunlight. Route power cords so they cannot be walked on or damaged.

CONNECTING THE RPM1521E TO AN AC SOURCE

CAUTION - To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 20 amperes maximum branch circuit over-current protection in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Plug the RPM1521E into a two pole, three wire, grounded receptacle only. Do not use extension cords, adapter plugs, or surge strips. Do not plug the RPM1521E to the output of a Simulated Sine Wave UPS.

1. Connect the power cord to the power inlet on the RPM and to the utility service.
2. Plug the equipment into the output receptacles.
3. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.
4. Connect the Temperature probe (optional)
5. Turn the power switch to the ON position.

This is a typical application for the RPM1521E.

1	Input utility power
2	LAN / WAN connection
3	Temperature Probe (optional)

2-2 Setup-Procedure

The minimum requirement to operate the RPM1521E is to setup the IP Address, subnet mask, and the gateway. DHCP is enabled as the default. Contact your system administrator or use the IP Search Utility program (on the CD) to obtain the IP address. If there is no DHCP server the default settings are as follows:

The default settings are:

IP address: 192.168.1.10

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway address: 192.168.1.1

Account name: admin (lower case)

Password: admin (lower case)

There are two ways to perform the Setup-Procedure:

1. Open a web browser and input either the default IP address or the IP address obtain from DHCP. Then Setup Wizard will open. Follow the steps to setup the RPM1521E.

2. Use the IP Search Utility program (on the CD). The IP Search Utility program supports most Windows Operating Systems.

Setup Procedure using the Setup Wizard

1. Open a Web browser and input the IP address for the RPM1521E.

2. The Setup Wizard will open.

3. Enter the default Account Name (admin). Enter the default Password (admin). Confirm the Password and then click on the Next button. The Password can be changed now or later under the Account tab.
