Web-GUI Control - Scheduling The PWR4IEC contains the ablity to configure schedules to suit the needs of the installation. This could be used for both power saving where equipment doesnt need to be powered during times when not in use, or, as a way to systematically reboot devices that may lock up after long periods of inactivity (for example - satellite receivers).

Web-GUI Control - RS-232 The PWR4IEC can be controlled via RS-232 if no IP access / control is required or allowed. The RS-232 page allows for a test command to be sent to a linked product connected to the RS-232 port of the unit. The character set (ASCII or HEX), baud rate, command ending (LF, CR or both), and parity can be set for communication from a 3rd party control system.
