AUTOMATIC POWER CYCLE APPLIANCE Automatically Resets the AC power according to its ping results. Can be used over the Internet or on Local/Wide area Networks. Can also be manually controlled using a PC's serial port (RS-232 or USB) or over a standard analog telephone line Rated at 15 Amps, 110-240VAC and uses standard IEC 320 C-13 & C-14 AC connectors so it can be used anywhere in the world. | ||||

The Automatic Power Cycle (APC) unit is a self-contained completely automatic AC power
RESET appliance that is primarily used to reset the power on broadband modems and/or routers,
or any other equipment for that matter, that may hang from time to time. It is normally used
in re-boot applications where there is no Windows-based PC available to run the CPS Auto Ping
Program (another option to consider) or where space is limited.
When used for its primary purpose, it is configured to work right out the box when used with a
DHCP router connected to the Internet. However, it also has a number of configuration parameters
that allow it to be further customized to meet a variety of other AC power control requirements.
In fact, it is so easily configurable and takes commands so well that if it had a pulse, it would
make an excellent husband.
How it works
Configuring the APC
The following are some of the operating parameters that can be changed through the "Config/Control"
serial port to meet other AC power control requirements.
Backup over the Telephone connection
You can also connect a standard analog telephone line to the "X-Control/Telco Port" and
control the APC that way. If the APC sees six unanswered rings, it will cause a RESET. This is
great for DSL lines where the analog frequency is not being used or you are assured that the analog
device won't answer. This is primarily used as back up. If Ring Re-booting is your sole requirement,
consider the ARR as a less costly solution (110-125VAC only) or the
IPC for 220-240VAC requirements.
For expanded backup capabilities, any of the CPS Remote Controllers may also be connected to this port.
The controllers provide direct ON/OFF/RESET control via Touch-tones, Web or Cell access, depending
on the controller selected. Additional APC's can also be daisy chained from the "X-Base Port"
and controlled with just one controller. However, if remote control is your sole requirement, without
the Auto Ping, it may be more economically accomplished using one of the other CPS Base Units and/or
Controller combinations.
The Hardware Platform
It has a protective 15-Amp circuit breaker (10 Amps for 220VAC). A push button switch is used to
manually alternate the powers state ON/OFF or RESET the power. As a special order item, this switch can
be put on a cable (up to 1000') to allow remote manual control or it can be controlled with a relay
from other hardware. Contact the factory for these special requirements.
