Basic Configuration
• EnergyWiseConfiguration: Defines parameters that are needed in order for the
RPC to serve as an element in a Cisco
®
EnergyWise™ network. This item allows
the following parameters to be defined. (Default = Off.)
Note: In the Web Browser Interface, EnergyWise parameters are defined via
the "EnergyWise" link in the General Parameters fly-out menu.

Enable: Enables/disables the RPC unit's ability to particapate in a Cisco
Energywise network. (Default = Off)

Domain: The Energywise Domain Name; up to eighty characters long.
(Default = undefined.)

Secret: A password that is used to authenticate each element in a Cisco
Energywise network. The Secret parameter can be up to eighty characters long.
(Default = undefined.)
• SerialNumber: Allows the serial number for the RPC unit to be saved and
displayed. When this parameter is defined, the serial number can be displayed
via the Product Status screen in the Web Browser or by invoking the /J* command
in the Text Interface. Since the serial number plate on the RPC unit is not always
easily accessible after installation, it is often helpful to define the serial number here
in order to simplify the process of determining the serial number later.
(Default = undefined.)
5.3.1. The Real Time Clock and Calendar
The Real Time Clock menu is used to set the RPC internal clock and calendar. The
configuration menu for the Real Time Clock offers the following options:
• Date: Sets the Month, Day and Year for the RPC real-time clock/calendar.
• Time: Sets the Hour, Minute and Second for the RPC real time clock/calendar. Key
in the time using the 24-hour (military) format.
• TimeZone: Sets the time zone, relative to Greenwich Mean Time. Note that the
Time Zone setting will function differently, depending upon whether or not the NTP
feature is enabled and properly configured. (Default = GMT (No DST).)

NTPEnabled: The Time Zone setting is used to adjust the Greenwich Mean
Time value (received from the NTP server) in order to determine the precise local
time for the selected time zone.

NTPDisabled: If NTP is disabled, or if the RPC is not able to access the NTP
server, then status screens and activity logs will list the selected Time Zone and
current Real Time Clock value, but will not apply the correction factor to the
displayed Real Time Clock value.
