  • Enter 1 to control a Power Port
  • Enter 2 to have the unit tell you the present current (amps) being drawn through the device
  • Enter 3 to have the unit tell you the temperature of the RPS-SP4L
  • Enter 4 to have the unit tell you its IP address

If the unit fails to detect your password or does not respond, double check that your password is correct in the web interface and call back the unit.
