1. Introduction WTI’s MPC series Managed Power Controllers allow secure, remote metering and management of AC powered rack mount equipment via SSL, SSH, SNMP, web browser, telnet, external modem or local terminal. The MPC can monitor power to your equipment, and automatically notify you when changes in current levels, temperature, circuit breaker status or other factors exceed user-defined threshold values. The MPC features two separate power circuits with up to 20 Amps input feed handling
