Operation

The device connected to the Control Port must send ASCII

characters at the same data rate as the RPB+. The unit accepts 8

bits no parity, or 7 bits even or odd parity, but will always

answer back at 8 bits, no parity.

Access the RPB+ Command Mode as described in Section 4,

Step 1. When the "RPB+>" prompt appears, the user may invoke

the following commands.

Notes:

·

Commands are not case sensitive.

·

Wait for the "RPB+>" prompt to appear before

entering commands. The prompt will not re-appear

until the previous command is complete.

·

If an invalid command or parameter is entered, the

RPB+ will respond with the "?" message.

1. Switch Plug(s) On: To power-on one or all of the five

switched plugs, type /n ON [Enter]. Where "n" is a plug

number from 1 to 5 and an asterisk (*) indicates the

command should be applied to all plugs.

2. Switch Plug(s) Off: To power-off one or all of the five

switched plugs, type /n OFF [Enter]. Where "n" is a

plug number from 1 to 5 and an asterisk (*) indicates the

command should be applied to all plugs. Note that "OFF"

can also be entered as "OF".

3. Boot Plug(s): To initiate a Boot cycle at one or all of the

switched plugs, type /n BOOT [Enter]. Where "n" is a

plug number from 1 to 5 and an asterisk (*) indicates the

command should be applied to all plugs. Note that

"BOOT" can also be entered as "B". The RPB+ will display

a series of periods (dots) while the Boot cycle is in

progress.
