1. Introduction 
 
The RPM is an SNMP/Internet ready device designed to allow administrators to 
remotely and locally control the AC power for up to eight connected devices, such as: 
servers, routers, modems and telephone networks. With the expandable function of 
allowing daisy chaining (cascading) of up to 16 client units, administrators can control a 
total of 128 devices. 
 
The RPM offers easy set up and user-friendly communication and control methods. 
Most common connection of all is via the LAN using normal Ethernet connection. The 
other option is to connect an external modem to the built in RS 232 port to allow dialing 
up of the Internet. Once connected and properly set up, the administrator will be 
notified of a web IP address and the administrator can manage the power of the 
devices from anywhere in the world via the web browser. 
 
The superiority of the RPM over other power management products is RPM gives you 
control through a telephone (tone signals) with no need of a modem connection.  Even 
if the network locks up or Internet crashes, there is always a back up telephone control 
option for administrators to control devices.  With such powerful features, 
administrators can be sure that they will always gain access to their devices no matter 
where they are in the world.
