Ethernet Power Controller II

USER’S GUIDE

www.digital-loggers.com

3URGXFW)HDWXUHV

Congratulations on your purchase. The Ethernet Power Controller II is

a rack mount power switch used for remote control, automatic reboot,

voltage, current, and power monitoring. Current features include:

Web Interface

The internal web server is accessible from any standard web

browser. Simply enter an IP address, and the controller may be

configured and controlled via the web.

Auto-Ping

This powerful feature automatically monitors a remote IP address. If

a server, router, or other TCP peripheral goes down, the controller will

automatically reboot it, without user intervention.

16 Switched Outlets + 2 Un-switched Outlets

Eight switched circuits are provided, each with a pair of 110/220VAC

outlets. Each pair of outlets can be controlled independently. The

outlets are spaced properly for large adapters and plugs. Two un-

switched circuits are provided for connection to “always on” devices.

Manual Override Controls

Front panel controls are provided to manually override software

settings. Each outlet can be switched on or off manually, or to “REM”

for remote software control. Two LEDs display status for each relay.

Password Security

Password security is provided to limit access to the power controller.

Sequenced “On Timer”

A programmable delay timer allows outlets to be switched on in

sequence, rather than simultaneously. Most electrical devices draw

more power when they are initially switched on. Using this timer,

more equipment can be attached to a single circuit without

overloading.

Redundant Power Supply

Dual, redundant power supplies are included. The loss of either main

power circuit will not affect the power controller. Separate A/B power

loops are provided for redundant equipment.

MOV Surge Suppression

Dual 3600J metal oxide varistors clamp power surges and spikes,

protecting all attached devices.

Field Upgradeable Firmware

Firmware is field upgradeable via Ethernet. Memory expansion is

field upgradeable. New features such as serial port support, email

notification, and scheduling are under development. Visit the FAQ

page for information on upgrades available free or at a minimal

charge.

At DLI, we listen to customers. Send your suggestions to engineering

(at) digital-loggers.com. Since we’re constantly adding and changing

features, specifications are subject to change without notice.

Use these shortcuts if you are an experienced installer. If you are

unfamiliar with the installation of power controllers, please contact

DLI for technical support and installation services.

1. Remove the power controller from its shipping carton. Save

the carton and packing, in case of future upgrade.

2. Check the voltage switch on the bottom of the unit.

3. Attach the power cords to two fused 110/220VAC power

sources with a capacity of at least 15 amperes each.

4. Attach the cable from the controller to a port on your LAN. If

the default IP address of http://192.168.0.100 isn’t

compatible with your network, a crossover cable may help

during initial configuration. Switch power on. After 10

seconds, a link light should appear. If you are connected to a

switch, you may need to cycle power to establish the port

speed on the switch.

5. Ping the default address http://192.168.0.100 to confirm that

a good network connection has been established. If you

don’t receive a response, use a crossover cable and see the

“Windows IP setup.” Section below.

6. Log in to the power controller using the default user name

“admin” and the password “1234” .

“admin” must be entered in lower case.

7. Click on the “Settings” link to reach the main configuration

page.

8. Complete the configuration information as described below.

After each section is completed, click the “Submit” button and

wait for the page to refresh before continuing to the next

section.

9. Set the front panel switches to ON for always on, OFF for

always off, or REM for remote control via Ethernet or serial

connection.

Tip: A lamp or other small appliance is handy for testing the

controller. This ensures that the controller has been configured

properly before attaching your equipment.

If your default Windows settings won’t access the controller, use a

crossover cable and follow these steps to reach the controller’s IP.

Before adding an IP, close network programs and browsers. Go to

the Network Settings – Local Area Network. Use the keyboard

shortcut <Windows-R> - type “ncpa.cpl” and click OK. Right click on

your LAN connection and choose “Properties”. Highlight “Internet

Protocol” and click the “Properties” button. Click the “Advanced”

button. Under the IP Address settings, click the “Add” button. Enter

a new IP, such as 192.168.0.10, and a subnet mask of

255.255.255.0. Press the “Add” button. This new IP is added the

list. Close all windows for the configuration to take effect.

Start your Browser and type 192.168.0.100 in the URL field. The

EPC is displayed. The default user name and password are

“admin” (lower case).

After power-up, the controller performs a sequence of self-tests to

ensure reliability. After self-test, the controller requests an IP

address if DHCP has been selected. If DHCP is not used or no

server is located, the fixed IP address on the network settings page

is selected.

The controller may then be operated via a web browser. To access

the controller, simply enter the IP address in the URL field of your

web browser. Future versions of the firmware will also support

remote operation via the serial port.

+RPH2XWOHW&RQWURO3DJH

To access the home page, first enter the IP address in web browser

URL field, then log in. The admin has access to all features. User

access is limited to outlets assigned by the administrator. When

configuring the power controller for the first time, use the default

“admin” username and “admin” password.

The home page contains nine links to other pages. The first five are

fixed internal links:

Outlet Control

Clicking “Outlet Control” links to the home page used for manually

switching outlets on and off. Access to specific outlets is determined

by your login.

Setup

The setup page lets you select outlet names, program web lings,

startup delays, and the power loss recovery mode. You can also

change login credentials on this page.

RTC

The controller features an internal battery-backed up real-time clock.

Use the RTC link to view clock settings or synchronize to your local

PC time.

AutoPing

The AutoPing link lets you set parameters for automatically reboot

attached equipment. First specify an IP address to ping. Next adjust

the timing settings and use the checkboxes to link the IP to specific

circuits. For example, if a router is unreachable, you may choose to

automatically reboot both a router and a switch attached to two

different circuits.

Logout

The controller will automatically log-out when your browser session is

closed. Click this link to log-out in advance.

Help

The Help link displays the latest online manual. Since features are

subject to change without notice, this manual may not be an exact

match for your controller.

Logout

Logout ends the web session. A login is required to reconnect.

Programmable Web Links

Four additional user-defined web links are provided on the outlet

control page. Factory defaults are “Link 1”, “Link 2”, etc. You may

change the name and destination URL for these links on the

“Settings” page. These links are convenient for connecting to other

power controllers or to remote sites.

Switching Outlets on and Off

The outlet control page lets you control any pair of outlets (except the

always-on pair). A master setting also allows users with security

access to switch all outlets on or off. The sequence in which outlets

will be switched on is determined by settings on the Admin page.

To switch an outlet on or off, simply click to the right of the outlet

name or number. Switching is immediate.

You may also “Cycle” a device which is connected to the controller.

This feature is useful for rebooting Ethernet devices which may

interrupt the web link to the controller. Clicking “Cycle” switches power

off, waits a few seconds, and then switches power back on. This

resets the attached device. You may also “cycle” all outlets using the

“Cycle all outlets” button on the bottom of the page.

Depending on your web browser settings, you may need to click the

“refresh” button to update the on-screen status display after changing

settings. A screen refresh setting is provided on the Setup page.

6HWXS3DJH

The setup page allows the administrator to configure the power

controller. These settings are supported:

Controller and Outlet Names

Use the controller name fields to assign a Controller Name to the

power controller itself. Examples are “Server Rack Power Strip” or

“Plutonium Refinery Control”. The Controller Name field appears on

the top of the home page. Assign a separate name to each outlet,

such as “Missile Launcher” or “Email Server” to make identification of

each circuit simple.

Power-On Sequence Delay

When a time value is entered in the “All ON sequence delay” field, the

power controller will pause for a period of time before switching each

outlet on in sequence. This delay helps prevent the power surges and

blown circuit breakers which can occur when multiple devices are

switched on simultaneously. A delay of 60 seconds is suggested for

server applications.

You may also enter a screen refresh delay in this section. If “Enable

screen refresh” is checked, and a delay value is entered, your

browser should periodically update the status screen.

Power Loss Recovery Modes

The power loss recovery mode setting has three settings which

take effect after a power failure:

1. You can turn all outlets off (all systems will be switched off

until manually turned on later) by checking the first box.

98 Ethernet Power Controller II Ethernet Power Controller II

www.digital-loggers.com

2. You can automatically turn all outlets on using the “All ON

sequence delay” described above. Check the second option

to do this.

3. You can return to the same outlet settings that were used

prior to the power loss. The “All ON sequence delay” will

also be used in this instance. Check the third option for ALL

ON.

User Defined Links

You may link to other power controllers, your own web pages, or

remote web sites by entering up to four URLs and descriptions in the

Setup page. For example, enter “Site Two Power Controller” in the

description field with a URL of “192.168.0.250” These links appear on

the home page.

Network Settings

A fixed IP address, network mask, gateway, and subnet mask must

be entered in this field.

When changing IP addresses, you may need to restart the unit and

your network switch to validate the new IP on an “auto-configuring”

switch port. Be sure to record the new IP address.

Press the “protect” button to lock the network settings. Once locked,

the network settings cannot be changed except by pressing the

physical reset button on the front of the unit.

57&3DJH

The RTC page allows the administrator to set the internal real time

clock. The clock may be set manually or synchronized to your local

PC time.

AutoPing Operation and Settings

AutoPing is an automatic system for rebooting IP equipment without

human intervention. To use AutoPing, first add an IP address. Next,

link that IP address to one or more outlets. Timing settings must also

be considered.

Add IP Address to Auto-Ping

Use this option to specify the address of an IP device you wish to

monitor. After entering the IP address, the settings page will refresh

and you can select the outlets associated with this address. Use the

checkboxes in the AutoPing section to correlate the IP address to one

or more outlets. If communications to the IP address is lost, these

outlets will be rebooted. Four parameters are used for AutoPing

operation:

Time between pings

This is the time between each “ping” check of the IP address. 60

seconds should be useful for most applications.

Ping failures before reboot

This sets the number of failed communications attempts that

must be sequentially detected before a system is rebooted. For

example, when set to 5, the target system must fail to respond 5

times in a row before it is rebooted. Since occasional network

overloads and missed packets can occur during normal network

operation, a number between 5 and 10 pings is recommended.

Times to Attempt Reboot

If you have an unreliable target device, limit the number of times it

will be rebooted by entering that value here. For example,

entering 5 will reboot your server up to 5 times before giving up.

Device Reboot Delay

After rebooting a device with a cold-boot power-off, a waiting

period should occur before the IP address is re-checked by

AutoPing. This delay allows the device to reboot. Windows and

Linux servers can force automatic file system checks which may

take several minutes to complete. Enter a safe value To allow for

this, enter a time delay in the Device Reboot Delay period. For

example, a reasonable value for a typical Windows server might

be 10 minutes (600 seconds). Entering 600 would cause the

power controller to start checking the server for normal operation

10 minutes after reboot.
