                        The Serial Power Controller (SPC) is a family of intelligent power distribution units that enables remote power 
 

       control of servers and network appliances. When used in conjunction with IP Console Servers, the SPC provides 

 

       comprehensive management capabilities and quick problem resolution by integrating console access with power 

 

       control into a single interface.

 

       The SPC support both RS232 and RS485 interface. With RS485 mode, the SPC can be located up to 1.2km 

 

       away from the controlling master, and has the Daisy- chain capability.

 

       For detailed operation, please refer to the User Manual of Serial Power Controller.
