BayTech DS2-RPC Base Unit, 2 Module Slots, Power Control Data Switch

Function: The DS2-RPC remote power switch and console access server lets the user turn on, turn off or reboot equipment connected to its four receptacles from a remote location or local terminal. It also provides console access to any device attached to its four-port RS-232 I/O module. The unit contains four individual relay-controlled AC power receptacles that are controlled by sending a short character string (command) to the RS-232 control port on the host module.

Access: Depending on the host module installed, access can be achieved via telnet, dial-up or local RS-232. Available options include telnet + dial-up, telnet + RS-232 or just RS-232.

Control: The DS2-RPC supports commands for both receptacle control and status, including on, off, config, reboot and status. The unit provides a response to a command indicating that the command was acknowledged and completed. In the event of a power failure, the DS2-RPC retains the most current operational status for each outlet in non-volatile memory and restores those settings when power returns. For example: if Outlets 1 and 2 are ON, and the remaining outlets are OFF when a power loss occurs, Outlets 1 and 2 are placed in the ON position when AC power is restored. The power-up routine to each receptacle is performed sequentially to minimize power surges.
