9 Following are notes on configuring various remote power controllers and
10 related equipment supported by PowerMan.
11
13 A cyclades TS-1000 configured so that PowerMan can connect to serial-
14 port-based remote power control devices using telnet is set up as fol‐
15 lows:
16 Attach console cable between laptop running minicom and console port at
18 9600,8n1 and authenticate with default account: root/tslinux.
19 Edit the following files (assumes no off-subnet routing or name service
21 required):
22 /etc/portslave/portslave.conf
24 conf.eth_ip 192.168.54.151
25 conf.eth_mask 255.255.255.0
26 conf.dhcp_client 0

31 all.parity none
32 all.flow none
33 all.dcd 0
34 all.DTR_reset 1
35 all.protocol socket_server
36 all.authtype none

58 cyclades-ts-test
59 /etc/hosts
61 127.0.0.1 localhost
62 192.168.54.151 cycaldes-ts-test
63 Next, run signal_ras hup and saveconf and finally, power cycle the
65 unit. It should be possible to configure PowerMan to connect to host‐
66 name:7001 for port 1, hostname:7002 for port 2, etc..

69 Attach console cable between laptop running minicom and console port at
70 9600,8n1. Main menu should display.
71 From main menu, select 3)...Configuration, then set IP parameters.
73 From Configuration menu, select 5)...Access, then disable command con‐
75 firmation, set admin password to baytech, and enable prompt for pass‐

77 From Configuration menu, select 6)...Outlets. Ensure that 1)...Outlet
79 Status display is disabled, and 2)...Command Confirmation is disabled.
80 Exit back to main menu by typing return twice, then answer Y to the
82 Accept changes? prompt.
83
85 Attach console cable between laptop running minicom and console port at
86 9600,8n1. Type return to get RPC-28> prompt. Type Help for a list of
87 commands.
88 Select config. Select 3)...Enable/Disable Confirmation and disable

94 Attach console cable between laptop running minicom and console port at
95 9600,8n1. Enter default password of icebox.
96 net ip 192.168.54.153
98 Sets IP address.
99 net mask 255.255.255.0
101 Sets network mask
102 net gw 192.168.54.254
104 Set default gateway. Note: this may need to be set to an
105 address in the same subnet as the ice box regardless of whether
106 it is to be used or not.
107 reboot Reboots the icebox.
109
111 Attach console cable between laptop running minicom and console port at
112 9600,8n1. Authenticate with default account admin/icebox. Configura‐
113 tion is the same as the V2 ICE BOX.
114
116 Attach console cable between laptop running minicom and console port
117 (may be labeled ``advanced port'') at 2400,8n1. Press enter, then
118 authenticate with default account apc/apc.
119 Choose Network from main menu.
121 Choose TCP/IP from Network menu, then diable BOOTP, and accept changes.
123 Set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway, and accept
124 changes.
125 Pres ESC until the main menu appears, then select Logout.
127
129 Set address of box using the rotary dial on the back. The Master mod‐
130 ule must be set to address 0. Slave modules may be set to unique val‐
131 ues from 1-9. The address corresponds to the plug name in the power‐
132 man.conf file.
133 Setup switches on each module should be set to 9600 baud (sw1 down), 5
135 sec toggle delay (sw2 down), power up to previous state (sw3 down).
136
138 Attach console cable between laptop running minicom and console port at
139 9600,8n1. Try password "wti" if prompted.
140 Select /N - View/set network parameters, then set the IP address, sub‐
142 net mask, and gateway.
143 Select /G - General paramters, then disable command confirmation,
145 enable command echo, and set disconnect timeout to the maximum value
146 (30 minutes).
147 Set password to "wti".
149
151 Attach console cable between laptop running minicom and serial port
152 9600,8n1. Press enter, then authenticate with default account
153 admin/pm8.
154 Run factory_defaults command.
156 The PM8 can run in a mode where it can be daisy chained from a Cyclades
158 terminal server. This mode is not yet supported by PowerMan.
