Introduction

   Here are some note on using IPC (International AC Power Controller)

0. Changing default setup:

   I changed the default power on at startup to off using the command: *PU0

1. Useful serial commands:

   *PU0 - Power Up Off
   *PON - Power ON
   *POF - Power OFF

   *?PS - returns the system status.

2. Cabling notes

   Was able to control from computer (COM) using standard straight through
   serial cable (9M to 9F).

   For portserver, I used an RJ45 (8 pin, straight through) to db9-Male
   connector:

     RJ-45 Plug    DB-9 Male
     ------------ ------------
        1 n/a
        2 blue     6 DSR
        3 orange   7 RTS
        4 black    n/a
        5 red      3 TxD
        6 green    2 RxD
        7 yellow   5 sGnd
        8 brown    8 CTS
        9 white    4 DTR
       10 n/a

   (The IPC cannot be used with just 3 wires - DTR must be on).
