INSTALLATION  
________________________________________________________________________________  
POWER  
CAUTION: This unit is intended for indoor use only. Do not  
install near water or expose this unit to moisture. To prevent heat  
buildup, do not coil the power cord when in use. Do not use  
extension cords. Do not attempt to make any internal changes to  
the power source. Do not attempt to modify any portion or  
component of an RPC Series Unit unless specifically directed to.  
BayTech must perform any internal operations.  
CAUTION: High-voltage surges and spikes can damage this  
equipment. To protect from such power surges and spikes, this  
unit must have a good earth ground. There is an earth ground  
connection next to the circuit breaker.  
CAUTION: Before removing or replacing any cables or power  
cords, turn off main power switch located on the RPC Series Unit.  
Communication to the unit will be disrupted while power is off.  
CAUTION: Do not exceed the AC current rating for the selected  
model. (See Appendix A “SPECIFICATIONS” for each RPC  
model).  
CAUTION: Although the power switch is turned OFF, the unit is  
not totally isolated from the power supply. In order to be  
absolutely removed from the power supply, the power cord must  
be unplugged from the unit.  
CAUTION: For PERMANENTLY CONNECTED  
EQUIPMENT, a readily accessible disconnect device shall be  
incorporated in the fixed wiring. For PLUGGABLE  
EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the  
equipment and easily accessible.  
Applying power illuminates a green LED on the front panel of the RPC.  
When the power switch is off, devices connected to the unit are not  
receiving power.

RPC SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL  
INSTALLATION  
________________________________________________________________________________  
POWER ON/OFF STATE  
Each receptacle is individually controlled by an internal relay. Upon  
initialization of power, the status of each receptacle will return to the state  
it was in prior to losing power. For example, if Outlet 1 and Outlet 2 are  
“ON” and power is removed from the RPC, the status of Outlet 1 and  
Outlet 2 will return to “ON” when power is restored to the RPC.  
POWER UP SEQUENCE  
In order to minimize power surges, the RPC sequences power to each  
outlet in the “ON” state in 0.3-second intervals. When power is applied to  
the RPC, the initialization sequence requires a delay of 10 seconds before  
power is available at the service receptacles. Following the 10-second  
delay, the RPC sequences power to each outlet that is turned “ON.” If  
you choose the option requesting the RPC to reboot all connected  
equipment, the RPC sequences power to each outlet turned “ON” in 0.1-  
second intervals.  
CIRCUIT BREAKER  
In the case of power overload, the circuit breaker automatically trips.  
Determine the cause of the tripped circuit breaker, correct the problem  
then reset the circuit breaker by depressing the circuit breaker switch.  
Power to the RPC-5 base unit (electronics, EIA-232 port, etc.), supplied  
by “IN 1”, does not go through the circuit breaker (this circuit is protected  
by a ¼ amp hardwired fuse). If an overload condition occurs, the RPC  
status menu is still accessible. For the menu to reflect an “On” status for  
the circuit breaker, a power cord must be attached to the “IN” receptacle.  
If all circuits are closed, the circuit breaker status menu will indicate “On.”  
If the circuit breaker is tripped, the circuit breaker status will indicate  
“Off.” If no power cord is attached to the “IN” receptecle, the circuit  
breaker status will indicate “Off”, indicating there is no power available to  
the “OUT” receptacle.

________________________________________________________________________________  
Using the 9FRJ45PC-1 adapter (or other  
applicable adapter) and the RJ08X007  
crossed cable, connect the serial port of your  
computer to the RJ-45 port labeled “EIA-  
232” on the back of your RPC unit.  
Load serial port communications software.  
Configure host terminal’s serial  
communications parameters to match the  
RPC. RPC factory serial communications  
parameters are 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop  
bit, and no parity.  
OPERATION  
The RPC’s main menu allows the user to  
monitor and control the equipment attached  
to each of the RPC-2 and RPC-2A’s six  
receptacles. From this menu, you can turn  
on, turn off, or reboot attached equipment,  
individually, or all equipment,  
simultaneously.  
The RPC recognizes three basic operating  
commands: ON n<cr>, OFF n<cr>, and  
REBOOT n<cr>, where n represents the  
outlet number and <cr> represents a carriage  
return.  
There are six red LEDs on the front of the  
RPC unit. There is a corresponding red  
LED for each of the RPC’s six receptacles.  
If any or all of the LEDs are illuminated,  
corresponding receptacle(s) are turned  
"ON," and consequently, attached  
equipment is receiving power. If  
any or all of the LEDs are not illuminated,  
corresponding receptacle(s) are turned  
“OFF.”

OPERATION  
The RPC’s main menu allows you to  
monitor and control equipment attached to  
each of the RPC-2 RDR and RPC-2 MD01’s  
six receptacles. From this menu, you can  
turn on, turn off, or reboot attached  
equipment, individually, or all equipment,  
simultaneously.  
The RPC recognizes three basic operating  
commands: ON n<cr>, OFF n<cr>, and  
REBOOT n<cr>, where n represents the  
outlet number.  
There are six red LEDs on the front of the  
RPC unit. There is a corresponding red  
LED for each of the RPC’s six receptacles.  
When the LEDs are illuminated,  
corresponding receptacle(s) are turned  
"ON," and consequently, attached  
equipment is receiving power. If the LED’s  
are not illuminated, corresponding  
receptacle(s) are turned “OFF.”  
Accessing Main Menu

The REBOOT n command will reboot or  
reset equipment attached to corresponding  
receptacle(s). When the command to  
REBOOT (n) is sent from the RPC >  
prompt, the RPC powers “Off”  
corresponding outlet(s) for approximately 10  
seconds, then powers them up in sequence.  
This command only works on outlets which  
were “On” prior to the reboot.  
Accessing Main Menu  
via Modem  
Using communications software, dial the  
modem using the ATDT command. If the  
modem does not respond in 5 to 7 rings, the  
RPC’s RDR feature recycles power to Outlet  
6 and consequently resets the modem. Dial  
the modem again using the ATDT  
command. When a connection has been  
established, the RPC sends the following  
header:

CONFIGURATION  
The RPC-2 RDR and RPC-2 MD01’s  
configuration menu allows the user to (1) set  
or change a password and (2) customize the  
outlet name(s) to identify equipment  
attached to the RPC.  
The password is disabled from the factory  
by making the password a carriage return. If  
a password (other than a carriage return) is  
set, the RPC requires password entry before  
allowing the user to operate the RPC unit.  
The password feature is case sensitive.  
The factory default outlet names are Outlet  
1, Outlet 2, Outlet 3 . . . Outlet 6. From the  
RPC’s configuration menu, the user can

RPC-3 AND RPC-3A and RPC-5  
NOTE: The RPC-3, RPC-3A and RPC-5 are configured in a  
similar manner. The RPC-5 has 4 outlets and supports 4 users. The  
RPC-3/3A has 8 outlets and supports 8 users. These differences are  
minor and not specifically addressed unless significant to the topic  
of discussion. The term “RPC Series”, as used in this section, will  
include the RPC-3, RPC-3A, and the RPC-5.  
IMPORTANT: “IN” #1 supplies power to the logic of the RPC-5.  
This inlet must have power for the unit to operate.  
The RPC Series are multi-user units,  
supporting one admin user and up to eight  
outlet users. The admin user has access to  
all outlets, user and system configuration  
options, unit status, and unit reset  
capabilities. The outlet user has access to  
only those outlets in the user’s outlet list, as  
set by the admin user. The outlet user’s  
menu and status display shows only those  
outlets available to the user.  
NOTE: The RPC Series supports one admin user. The admin  
user may have four sessions running concurrently. Default user  
name is admin. User names are case sensitive.  
NOTE: Each session has an inactivity timeout of ten minutes.  
After ten minutes of no activity elapses, the session terminates.

Configure host terminal’s serial  
SERIAL CONNECTION communications parameters to match the  
RPC. RPC factory serial communications  
parameters are 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop  
bit, and no parity.  
The RPC Series has an RJ-45 port  
for connecting to a local EIA-232 device,  
such as a computer terminal or external  
modem. Most serial computers do not have  
RJ-45 connections; therefore, an adapter is  
provided with this unit to convert from a  
DE-9 connector to a RJ-45 connector  
(BayTech Part No. 9FRJ45PC-1). If you are  
connecting to a modem, use a modem  
adapter (BayTech Part No. 25MRJ45MD-8).  
Using the 9FRJ45PC-1 adapter (or other  
applicable adapter) and the RJ08X007  
crossed cable, connect the serial port of your  
computer to the RJ-45 port labeled “EIA-  
232” on the back of your RPC unit.  
REMOTE ACCESS  
USING NETWORK  
The RPC Series has an Ethernet  
port for connecting to a network.  
PORT CONNECTION  
In order for a network connection to be  
established, at a minimum, you must  
configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and  
if applicable, Gateway. Network  
configurations must be set initially through  
the serial port but may be modified using  
either the serial or Ethernet port..

The green LINK LED will illuminate when  
a satisfactory connection is made to the  
network. If it does not light, check the  
10Base-T cable connection to your network.  
Also, verify status of the CX LED. It should  
not be flashing. If the CX LED is flashing,  
note the number of times it flashes in a  
cycle. To determine what the CX LED is  
indicating; refer to Appendix C,  
“DIAGNOSTIC LED INDICATIONS.” If  
the LED indications are correct, the RPC  
can be accessed through a Telnet session.  
Establish the Telnet client session and login  
from you workstation.  
OPERATION  
IMPORTANT: When operating remotely, do not send the  
command to turn “off” a receptacle that has a host terminal or  
modem attached. Doing so will result in the host terminal or  
modem being powered down creating a “locked-out” condition.  
You will not be able to reestablish a connection until the receptacle  
has been turned “on” through the serial port.  
IMPORTANT: If you send the command to “reboot” a receptacle  
with a host terminal or modem attached, active connection to that  
terminal or modem is lost and will have to be reestablished.  
IMPORTANT: An assigned user is allowed one active session.  
The admin user is allowed four sessions running concurrently.
