ePowerSwitch-8

ePowerSwitch-8 is a couple of power control units made of a Master named ePowerSwitch-M8

and a slave named ePowerSwitch-S8.

ePowerSwitch-M8 (Master) is a power control unit with a built-in Web server, an Ethernet and

a serial RS232 connection. It enables you to control the power supply of 8 power sockets either

remotely through a Network (Intranet or Internet) or locally through its serial RS232 connection.

The number of the controlled sockets can be extended up to 40 by connecting up to 4

ePowerSwitch-S8 (Slave) to the Master.

Thanks to the use of two separate power inlets and the optional Twin mode which allows you to

control at the same time two power sockets, this device is the ideal solution to control the power

of servers using redundant power supplies.

ePowerSwitch-S8 (Slave) is a power control unit with a serial RS232 connection. It enables

you to control the power supply of 8 sockets through its serial RS232 connection. The number

of the controlled sockets can be extended up to 32 by cascading up to 4 ePowerSwitch-S8

(Slave).

Like the Master, this device has two separate power inlets to increase the security and the load

available on the power sockets.

2. Installation

The ePowerSwitch-M8 (Master) has a built-in Web server, an Ethernet and a serial interface. It

can be used as a stand-alone device to control over IP eight IEC power sockets. The number of

controlled sockets can be extended to 16, 24, 32 or 40 by cascading 1 to 4 ePowerSwitch-S8

(Slave).

The ePowerSwitch-S8 (Slave) has a serial RS232 interface used to control individually its 8

power sockets either through an ePowerSwitch-M8 (Master) or through any device using a

serial RS232 connection (PC, Console server...). By cascading up to 4 ePowerSwitch-S8

(Slave), it is possible to control up to 32 sockets via one serial port.

Connecting ePowerSwitch-M8 (Master)

1. Connect your 10BasteT cable to the RJ-45 network port and to the ePowerSwitch-M8.

If you want to configure the ePowerSwitch-M8 or control its power sockets over a Terminal

connection, connect the supplied serial cable to an available serial port on your PC and to the

serial port of the ePowerSwitch-M8.

2. Plug the 2 power cables into 2 grounded sockets. The A and B LEDs light on to confirm that

power is on and the Pwr LED confirms that the Web server is powered.

3. You can now configure the ePowerSwitch-M8 by following the indications of the paragraph 3

"Configuration of the ePowerSwitch-M8 (Master)" or, if necessary, install the ePowerSwitch-

S8 as indicated hereafter.

Connecting ePowerSwitch-S8 (Slave)

1. Connect the supplied RJ9 link-up cable to the RJ9 Out connector of the Master and to the

RJ9 In connector of the slave.

To cascade several Slaves, link RJ9 Out connector to RJ9 In connector of the next slave.

2. Allocate an address to each Slave by positioning the address selection DIP-switches marked

Slct on the front panel according to the following table.

Remarks

− Unplug the device before changing its DIP switches.

− Do NOT use the same address for two different Slaves.

Slave number DIP-switch 1 DIP-switch 2

1 Off Off

2 On Off

3 Off On

4 On On

Position Off = switch upwards

Position On = switch downwards

Micro-switch 1 is on the left side, micro-switch 2 on the right.

3. Plug the 2 power cables into 2 grounded sockets. The A and B LEDs light on to confirm that

power is on.

ePowerSwitch-8 Master and Slave User's Guide Page 3

3. Configuration of the ePowerSwitch-M8 (Master)

To use the ePowerSwitch-M8 on your network, you must first configure its network parameters.

Ask your network administrator for the parameters to use.

There are two different methods to configure the ePowerSwitch-M8:

Method 1:

Through a network using the ePowerSwitch Finder Program (on the delivered CD).

It is the simplest and fastest configuration method if you use Windows as operating system. We

suggest that you use this program at least during the first configuration: it allows you to

configure your ePowerSwitch-M8 through your local network even if its network parameters (IP

Address, Subnet mask and Port) are not compatible with those of your PC or your local

network.

If you decide to use this method you can directly go to §4 "Configuration using the

ePowerSwitch Finder program".

Default Network parameters:

IP address 192.168.100.100

Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

Gateway no address

Port 80

Method 2:

Through a RS232 serial connection using a Terminal connection. If you use a PC, use the serial

cable supplied with the product and a Terminal program such as Widows HyperTerminal or the

MicroTerminal program on the CD (folder miscellaneous).

If you decide to use this method, you can directly go to §5 "Configuration using a Terminal

connection".

ePowerSwitch-8 Master and Slave User's Guide Page 4

4. Configuration using the ePowerSwitch Finder program

Remarks:

− The ePowerSwitch-M8 and the PC used to configure it have to be connected on the same

segment of the network. The protocol of this program can not be routed so it can not be used

to configure the ePowerSwitch through a WAN or the Internet.

− This program does not work if the administrator has deactivated it in the configuration of the

ePowerSwitch (for security reasons for example).

1. Start the ePS-Finder.exe program on the CD-ROM.

The ePowerSwitch Finder window appears.

2. In the tool bar click on the first left button or choose the File/Scan Menu.

The program browses the segment on which is connected your PC and displays the name,

the type, the IP and MAC Address of the connected ePowerSwitch.

3. In the tool bar click on the second left button or choose the File/Configure Menu.

The properties dialog box appears and you can now configure the network parameters. To

configure all other parameters click on the Options button on the bottom of the dialog box.

General Tab

This tab is used:

 to define all the network parameters of the ePowerSwitch-M8 (IP Address, Subnet Mask,

Default Gateway and Port Number).

 to permit or deny the configuration using the ePowerSwitch Finder program for security

reasons.

Labels Tab

This tab is used:

 to attribute a label to a group of ePowerSwitch devices connected together (a group is

made of 1 ePowerSwitch Master and up to 4 Slaves).

 to attribute a label to each ePowerSwitch and its 8 power sockets (use the left vertical

Tabs to select the ePowerSwitch you want to configure).

Accounts Tab

In combination with the left vertical tab Group, this tab is used:

 to attribute a name and a password to the administrator who has access to all the sockets

within a group of ePowerSwitch.

In combination with one of the left vertical tabs «Device 1» to «Device 5», this tab is used:

 to define 8 user accounts using a name and a password for each one.

 to define the power sockets each user will be able to control.

 to activate or deactivate an ePowerSwitch-S8 (Slave) connected to the Master.

 to define the function modus of each ePowerSwitch (Single mode or Twin mode):

- Single mode enables you to control individually each power socket,

- Twin mode enables you to control two power sockets with one command. This mode is

particularly intended to restart devices using redundant power supplies.

In that case, the 4 sockets powered by the power supply A (sockets 1 to 4) are

automatically associated to the 4 sockets powered by the power supply B (sockets 5 to 8)

and the labels of the first 4 sockets are used.

Security Tab

This tab is used to define addresses which are authorised or denied to access to the

ePowerSwitch over the Network. For all details about this features, please refer to chapter 6

"Security parameters configuration".

Options Tab

This tab is used to:

 define the restart delay valid for all power sockets of all ePowerSwitch connected together;

 configure an Email address to which the user can manually send a message in case of

problem.

Miscellaneous Tab

In combination with one of the left vertical tabs "Device 1" to "Device 5" to know how many

times an ePowerSwitch has been powered ON and how many times its power sockets have

been switched from OFF to ON. These values can not be reset by the user.
