    RS232 or Ethernet connection is not available or function- ing. Moving this switch to the UP position will cause the iP Series to turn on the power PODs in a prescribed timed sequence. The default timing is two seconds between each POD activation.
  • Page 6 DETAILED INSTALLATION AND SETUP Connecting to the iP device using a Router. 1. Connect the iP device to your network router using a Cat 5 cable plugged into the RJ45 “Network” port on the rear of the unit and the other end to your network router.
  • Page 7 RS232 connection. See page 14 for detailed RS232 commands and setup requirements. The iP Series Management section is accessible from the top right link named “Management”. It consists of 4 tabs; Overview—Which shows the current configuration of the iP device.
  • Page 8 OVERVIEW The Overview Tab displays the current settings of the unit and the MAC ad- dress. This page is useful for retrieving all the information you may need to set up the iP device on your network. If you have DHCP enabled, the IP address your router/DHCP server assigned can be viewed here.
  • Page 9: Network Setup

    NETWORK SETUP In the above image you can see the network setup tab accessible when logged in as Admin. The Enable DHCP is checked by default. This will result in the router or DHCP server assigning the IP address of the unit which will then be visible on the OVERVIEW tab.
  • Page 10: User Setup

    USER SETUP The user setup tab is where you configure the Admin and User account pass- words. You can change the username and password on both accounts by typ- ing in the changes in the corresponding fields. There is a second password field for both accounts that verifies you typed the password in correctly.
  • Page 11 CONFIGURATION This is the configuration tab. Here you can assign a new IP or control the device via RS232 commands (see page 13 and 14 for the list of commands). This will require a special cable (detailed drawing on page 13). You can also enable/ disable UDP and TCP.
  • Page 12 POWER CYCLE FEATURE Also on the configuration tab is the Power Cycle control feature. The Power Cycle feature is useful for rebooting routers should a connectivity issue arise. Simply plug the router into POD1. Should a router lock up occur the units will be rebooted via the power cycling of POD1 when your chosen domain cannot be PINGed by the iP device.
  • Page 13: Remote Control And Monitoring

    REMOTE CONTROL AND MONITORING Using the On Board Web Server TURNING POWER ON AND OFF - On the Control page, each of three PODs has associated with it a virtual On/Off button (Activate) and an On/Off indicator (Status). Clicking an On/Off button turns the corresponding POD on or off. When a POD is on the Status indicator will be green as if on.
  • Page 14 RS232 CONTROL AND MONITORING (Not available on the IP50 or IP50-RX) To operate the iP device using RS232 you will need a suitable cable from the PC to the iP device RJ11 RS232 port on the rear of the unit. Below is the pin out for a RJ11 to female DB9 cable.

  • Page 16 The default TCP port is 33333; this can also be changed through the web interface. To enable TCP feature, click on iP Series Management link on the web inter- face and then click on Configuration tab. Mark the button called Enable in the TCP section.
  • Page 17 To connect to IP device over TCP, simply start your TCP client program ( such as Hercules or PuTTY) and specify the IP address of the iP device and the TCP port. Start the connection ( many programs have a Connect button to start the connection ) and type iP device console commands such as Help.
  • Page 18: Udp Control

    UDP CONTROL It is possible to control and monitor iP series products over Ethernet using UDP protocol. In this mode, any PC ( Windows, Linux, Mac ) can connect to the iP15 using a suitable UDP capable client program. Once the UDP port is opened, the serial port console and its commands are available to the user over UDP as if the user was connected to iP device over the local serial connection.
  • Page 19 Please note, a delay of up to 5 seconds can occur between issuing a command in the web server and the iP series product storing the state. So if power is lost just after a command has been issued the state may not be remembered.
