A serial/[Ethernet]-controlled 8 outlet remote power controller. Using the serial port or [telnet(1)], you can turn each electrical outlet on and off.

!! Serial cable for the RPC-3

Initial configuration has to happen using the controller’s serial port, so you'll need a cable like the one described here to set it up. Required connections for a Baytech RPC-3 RJ45 to DB9 NullModem serial cable:

<?plugin OldStyleTable
| __RJ45&#160;pin__  | __DB9&#160;pin__ | __Role__
| 4                  | 2                | (RPC-3 TX → PC RX)
| 5                  | 3                | (RPC-3 RX → PC TX)
| 3                  | 8                | (RPC-3 RTS → PC CTS)
| 1                  | 6                | (RPC-3 DTR → PC DSR)
| 2                  | 5                | (GND → GND)
| 8                  | 1                | (RPC-3 carrier detect → carrier present)
?>

Pins 6 and 7 on the RJ45 side can remain disconnected, along with pins 4, 7 and 9 on the DB9 side.

Tested and working on an RPC-3 using a [USB]-to-serial adapter.
