Important: The prerequisite for the remote power/reset button to
work is a correct installation of the ARMC/3P.
Power Control via Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
The ARMC/3P is capable of controlling the power status of an IPMI-enabled host
system. See
Chapter 5: Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) for
configuration instructions. If the ARMC/3P is configured to act as an IPMI client the
Remote Power Control page will show three buttons:
Power On
Sends an IPMI “Power On” command to the Baseboard Management
Controller (BMC).
Power Off
Sends an IPMI “Power Off” command to the BMC.
Reset
Sends an IPMI “Hard Reset” command to the BMC.

line or use the “Run” dialog from the Windows Start Menu. As an example you may
type the following sequence:
telnet 192.168.1.22
Replace the IP address by the one that is actually assigned to the ARMC/3P. This
will prompt for user name and password in order to log into the device. The creden-

Once you have successfully logged into the ARMC/3P a command line will be
presented and you can enter the necessarry management commands.
