RS-232's the old school way and it's probably the most reliable. WiFi's probably cheaper. Remote Setup, Control, and Monitoring in One Panel The most advanced self-contained controllable breaker panel on the market today. The RPC combines all the features you've come to expect from LynTec panels with new web enabled control and monitoring capabilities. Based on the G3 PowerlinkTM hardware platform by Square D, the RPC uses the latest remotely operated breakers and can control up to 168 circuit breakers with a single controller. In addition, the RPC's expanded interface options (DMX, sACN, HTTP, Telnet, RS-232 or BacNET (optional)) allow users to monitor and control the system from any remote location.
