1.1. Introduction

IP Switch is designed to automatically power-cycle either one or both of its outlets
when either;
a) Internet connectivity is lost, OR
b) the network device being monitored is no longer responding in LAN.
It can also be used to:
a) remotely control outlets via instant messaging tools like Google Hangouts and
Skype, via cloud management, or via its web user interface.
b) perform scheduled power On / Off / Reset
c) manually control outlets by disabling the UIS (Uninterruptable Internet System)
function
IP Switch is useful where the Internet connection and accessibility to a remote site is
critical. It can be setup so that when the remote Mobile Broadband / Cable / Satellite
/ DSL / T1, etc. connection drops or if the remote router freezes-up, it will auto reset
the router to re-gain connectivity. IP Switch is also useful for:
1. Saving home users the trouble of constantly having to power-cycle their
router to re-gain Internet connectivity.
2. Resetting unresponsive device (e.g. IP camera or NAS servers) which
otherwise will be inaccessible from remote.
3. IT Professionals who need to automatically or remotely reset devices
4. Preventing your connection from timing out or going dormant
5. Having devices on an automatic power schedule
