CHAPTER 4: OPERATION AND CONFIGURATION
Note: Please type all commands carefully. Inaccurate entries can cause error messages and the return to the
previous menu.
Remote Power Control Operation
The PCR8, PCS12, and PCS20 models are configured in the same manner. This detailed Operation and Configuration section
will use PCR8 screens for illustration and assume that the Confirmation is enabled. Programming differences for the PCS12 and
PCS20 pertain to the number of outlets shown in the menus (12 and 20, respectively).
There are eight numbered green LEDs on the front of the PCR8 unit, twelve on the PCS12, and twenty on the PCS20, which
correspond with each of the Remote Power Control unit’s numbered outlets. When any or all of the LEDs are illuminated,
corresponding outlet(s) are ON and attached equipment is receiving power. If any or all of the LEDs are not illuminated,
corresponding outlet(s) are OFF. The PCS12 and PCS20 units also have a red LED that works in conjunction with the Overload
Audible Alarm and will illuminate if the unit is overloaded.
Viewing the Status Menu
The Remote Power Control Status menu allows users to monitor and control the equipment attached to each of the unit’s outlets.
From this menu, equipment can be turned on, turned off, or rebooted individually or simultaneously.
When the Remote Power Control unit is plugged into an active power source, it is automatically powered ON. The unit’s Status
menu appears on the monitor of the computer to which it is connected.
Note: If the Status menu fails to appear, ensure the correct cables and adapters are being used and they are
connected properly and verify the serial communication parameters are correctly configured.
Important! To access the Status menu from the Configuration menu or any sub-menu, press the <Enter> key
at the command prompt until the Status menu appears.
