The 5150 Series family of products provides easy, practical, and secure solutions for power distribution, power management and load-measurement for remote internetworking equipment and branch AC circuits.

5150 Series products are available in 8-outlet and 16-outlet configurations for 100-120VAC up to 30A, and for 230VAC up to 16A (Continental Europe). An 5150 Series offers individual remote control over the power on/off status to a maximum of 16 devices.

The following section explains how to connect and install the 5150.

Connecting the 5150

The 5150 Series is equipped with a single RJ45 RS-232 serial port for attachment to a PC or networked terminal server using the supplied RJ45 to RJ45 crossover cable and RJ45 to DB9F serial port adapter as required. See the Technical Specifications in Getting Started with the MRV

You must change the port’s “access” to “power model ir5150” before performing any control and monitoring. Use the following command, in the Async Port Configure Mode, to configure asynchronous port 1 as an 5150 port:

Async 1-1:0>>access power model ir5150

Once the 5150 is enabled, you can check its status with the following command:

InReach:0>> show port async 1 status
