  • Page 10: Introduction

    POW-R-SWITCHES 1M, 1S 2. Introduction 2.1 General Overview Network devices sometimes lock up, so that communicating with them is impossible. On command, a Pow-R-Switch 1M can switch AC power at up to ten individual Pow-R-Switch 1S modules located throughout your facility. This serves to boot, shut down, or reboot the devices plugged into the Pow-R-Switches 1S.

  • Page 11: Applications

    CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2.3 Applications • Remote network management • Rebooting data-communications equipment • Taking equipment out of service • PC-based control of AC power: You can switch any AC-powered device ON or OFF using ASCII commands sent across modem links 2.4 The Pow-R-Switches 1M and 1S Illustrated 2.4.1 T RONT...

  • Page 14: Installation

    POW-R-SWITCHES 1M, 1S 3. Installation Installing the Pow-R-Switch 1M and 1S is simple. Briefly, the installation procedure consists of the steps listed below. For more information, please refer to the section identified in each step. 1. Set the address for each module as described in Section 3.1. 2.

  • Page 15: Setting The Configuration Switch

    CHAPTER 3: Installation If you need to change the address setting of a Pow-R-Switch 1M or 1S after installing the Switch, unplug the Switch module from the AC power source, then turn the dial to select the new address, then plug the Switch back in. The Switch will not recognize a new address setting until you power it OFF and back ON again.

  • Page 16: Linking The Modules

    POW-R-SWITCHES 1M, 1S When position 3 is set to Down, the outlet will return to the state that it was in prior to the power interruption. For example, if the outlet was OFF before the power interruption, the outlet will still be OFF after power is restored.

  • Page 17: Making The Control-Port Connection (Pow-R-Switch 1M Only)

    CHAPTER 3: Installation NOTES The total length of cabling between the first Switch module in the link and the last Switch in the link must not exceed 2,000 feet (609.6 m). Each Switch has two interchangeable Link Ports. One port should be connected to the previous Switch in line and the other should be connected to the next Switch (it doesn’t matter which port is connected to which Switch).

  • Page 18: Making The Power Connections

    POW-R-SWITCHES 1M, 1S 3.5 Making the Power Connections The next step is to plug in all power cords and power up the system. 1. Plug the AC-powered device that you want to switch into the AC outlet on the rear panel of the Pow-R-Switch 1M or 1S. Repeat this step for every device/Switch pair in your system.
  • Page 19 CHAPTER 3: Installation b) If the control device is connected directly to the Pow-R-Switch 1M’s Control Port, start your terminal-emulation software. Make sure that the terminal-emulation software is set to the same data rate as the Switch (see Section 3.2). The software should also be set to receive 8 data bits and no parity.

  • Page 20: Operation

    POW-R-SWITCHES 1M, 1S 4. Operation After you have installed and tested your Pow-R-Switch system, it should be ready for operation. (Note that the PC, modem, or other control device must send ASCII characters at the same data rate as the Pow-R-Switches. Also, the Pow-R-Switches can receive data with any type of parity, but will always transmit data using 8 bits, no parity.) The command character-string that you will use to control the Pow-R-Switch...

  • Page 22 POW-R-SWITCHES 1M, 1S Examples: • To toggle the switched AC outlet on the Pow-R-Switch 1S at address 3, send the command ^B^X^X^B^X^X3T^M. • To display the status of all linked Pow-R-Switch modules, send the command ^B^X^X^B^X^X*?^M. NOTE The Pow-R-Switch 1M will not accept additional commands until it has finished executing the current command.

  • Page 23: Troubleshooting

    If you need to transport or ship your Pow-R-Switch: • Package it carefully. We recommend that you use the original container. • Before you ship a unit for repair or return, contact Black Box to get a Return Authorization (RA) number, and make sure you include...
