Power Control Port - ADDER AdderView CATxIP 1000 User Manual

Power control port

The.options.port.of.the.AdderView.CATxIP.
1000.can.be.used.to.connect.to.one.or.more.
optional.power.control.units..This.allows.you.to.
control.the.mains.power.being.supplied.to.the.
connected.computer(s).so.that.an.authorised.
user.can,.if.necessary,.perform.a.complete.
remote.cold.reboot.on.a.failed.system.
The.control.connector.of.the.first.power.switch.
is.attached,.via.serial.cable,.to.the.rear.panel.of.
the.AdderView.CATxIP.1000..Any.additional.power.switches.are.then.attached.
via.a.'daisy-chain'.arrangement.to.the.first.power.switch..Each.power.switch.box.
is.then.given.a.unique.address.and.access.to.each.power.port.(8.ports.on.each.
power.switch.box).is.gained.using.a.combination.of.the.switch.box.address.and.
the.port.number..

The.power.ports.are.connected.to.the.power.inputs.of.each.computer.system.
and.the.power.switch.box(es).are.then.connected.to.a.mains.power.supply.
IMPORTANT: Power switching devices have a maximum current rating. It is
essential to ensure that the total current drawn by the equipment connected
to the power switching device does not exceed the current rating of the power
switching device. You must also ensure that the current drawn from any mains
socket does not exceed the current rating of the mains socket.
Setting.up,.configuring.and.using.power.switching.requires.three.main.steps:
•. Connect.and.address.the.switch.boxes.
•. Configure the power strings
•. Operate.power.switching.via the VNC toolbar or.the.local.Functions

To connect and address the switch boxes
Note: The AdderView CATxIP 1000 unit can be powered on during this
procedure, however, the switch boxes should be switched off. The configuration
steps below are for the Adder EPS-M8 and EPS-S8 power switches. Other power
IP
switches may require different configuration. Please refer to your power switch
documentation.
1. Mount.up.to.four.switch.boxes.in.positions.where.they.are.close.to.the.
computer.systems.that.they.will.control.and.not.too.distant.from.the.
POWER
AdderView.CATxIP.1000.unit.(preferably.within.2.5.metres).
2. Use.a.serial.cable.with.an.RJ9.and.a.9-pin.D-type.connector.(see.Appendix
7.for.specification)..Attach.the.RJ9.plug.to.the.socket.marked.
first.switch.box..Attach.the.other.end.to.the.socket.marked.
AdderView.CATxIP.1000.
Serial cable to first

3. For.each.of.the.remaining.switch.boxes.(if.used),.use.a.serial.cable.with.RJ9.
connectors.at.both.ends.(see.Appendix
end.to.the.socket.marked.

4. Set.the.addressing.switches.on.each.switch.box.
using.the.two.micro.switches.marked.'Slct'.on.
the.front.panel..The.box.connected.directly.to.
the.AdderView.CATxIP.1000.is.Box.1.and.so.on,.
down.the.daisy-chain.line.to.Box.4.at.the.end.
5. Attach.IEC.to.IEC.power.leads.between.
each.port.and.the.power.input.socket.of.
each.computer.system.that.requires.power.
switching..Carefully.note.to.which.power.
ports,.on.which.boxes,.each.computer.system.is.connected..If.computer.
systems.have.multiple.power.inputs,.then.each.input.must.be.connected.via.
separate.ports,.which.can.be.on.the.same,.or.different.boxes.
6. Connect.each.box.to.a.suitable.mains.power.input..
Now.proceed.to.the.configuration.stage.covered.in.the.Power switching
menu.
