Power LED (see figure 8 on the previous page)— This green LED lights while the PC1
or PC1i interface is receiving power and is running.
When the unit is being reset from the front panel, this LED blinks the appropriate
number of times to indicate the reset mode the PC1 has entered (see
Resetting on
page 12).
Setting Up the System Using the Front Panel
The following system setup procedures can be performed using the front panel, Global
Configurator, the embedded web pages, or SIS commands.
This section discusses the front panel procedures. For information on using the web to set
up, see
HTML Configuration and Control starting on page 15. For the equivalent SIS
commands, see SIS Programming and Control starting on page 47. For information
on setting up using Global Configurator, see the IPL T PC1 Setup Guide .
NOTE: The PC1 takes approximately 2 minutes to store settings made via the front
panel, SIS commands, or the web pages into its memory. If you disconnect power
from the PC1 less than 2 minutes after entering a setting, your entry may be lost.
Setting Up Power Control of the Output Device
To set up power control of the output device plugged into the PC1 output power receptacle:
1. On the PC1 front panel, press and release the receptacle
Power
button.
The green receptacle Power LED at the right of the
button lights and remains lit while the receptacle is
powered on. It turns off when the receptacle is powered
off.
2. Power on the device, using its own power switch.
If power is removed from the PC1, the power state of the output receptacle is preserved
in blinks memory; for example, if the receptacle was powered on when the PC1 was
disconnected, it is powered on when the PC1 receives power again. This enables the
receptacle configuration to be easily restored if a power loss occurs.
CAUTION:
Some devices, such as projectors, need a cool-down period to power off
safely. Use RS-232 or IR commands to power these devices.

from the front panel. If any button is pressed while the unit is in executive mode, the Power

To enter or exit executive mode, press and hold the receptacle

The Power LED blinks three times to indicate that the executive mode has been switched.
NOTES:
• If power to the PC1 is recycled while the unit is in executive mode, the PC1 remains
in executive mode.
•
The Reset button is always functional. It is recessed to avoid it being pressed
accidentally.
