User's Guide
ePowerSwitch-1 Guard is a power control unit with a built-in Web server, an Ethernet and a
serial RS232 connection. It enables to control the power supply of a power outlet either remotely
through a network (Intranet or Internet) or locally through its serial RS232 connection.
Its special Pinging and Scanning functions also allow the ePowerSwitch-1 Guard to supervise IP
devices (servers, routers...) and automatically reboot them in case of lock-up.

1. Safety instructions: To be read before use!
The ePowerSwitch devices can only be installed by qualified people with the following
installation and use instructions. The manufacturer disclaims all responsibility in case of a
bad utilisation of the ePowerSwitch devices and particularly any use with equipments that
may cause personal injury or material damage.
This equipment is designed to be installed on a dedicated circuit that must have a circuit
breaker or fuse protection.
The electrical power socket used to plug the power cord of the ePowerSwitch device must be
close to the ePowerSwitch device and easily accessible.
Check that the power cord, plug and socket are in good condition.
The ePowerSwitch device can only be connected to three-wire 230 VAC (50-60Hz) socket.
Always plug the ePowerSwitch devices into properly grounded power sockets (two poles plus
ground).
Never exceed 10 Amp total load.
If you have to replace an external fuse of an ePowerSwitch device, never use another type of
fuse than 10A/250V T.
The ePowerSwitch devices are intended for indoor use only. Do NOT install them in an area
where excessive moisture or heat is present.
Always disconnect the power cord of the ePowerSwitch device if you want to intervene on the
ePowerSwitch device or on the equipment powered from the ePowerSwitch device.
The power outlet of the ePowerSwitch devices is not a circuit breaker! If you want to
intervene on equipment connected to an ePowerSwitch device you must disconnect this
equipment from the ePowerSwitch device.
The ePowerSwitch devices contain potentially hazardous voltages. Do NOT attempt to
disassemble them.
The ePowerSwitch devices contain no user serviceable parts and repairs are to be performed
by factory trained service personnel only.

2. Configuration of the ePowerSwitch
To use the ePowerSwitch on your network you must first configure its network parameters. Ask
your network administrator for the parameters to use.
There are three different methods to configure the ePowerSwitch:
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 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 §3 "Configuration using the
ePowerSwitch Finder program".
Method 2:
Through a network using a Web browser (Internet Explorer > 6.0 and Netscape > 6.1).
This method can only be used if the network parameters of the ePowerSwitch (IP Address,
Subnet mask…) have already been configured using either the ePowerSwitch Finder program
(Method 1) or a Terminal program (Method 3).
For the first configuration you can also change the Network parameters of your PC according to
the default settings of the ePowerSwitch.
Default Network setting of the ePowerSwitch:
IP Address: 192.168.100.100
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Port: 80
If you decide to use this method you can directly go to §4 "Configuration using a Web browser".
Method 3:
Through a RS232 serial connection using a Terminal connection (see §7 "serial port pin
configuration" for the configuration of the serial interface connector).
If you use a PC, use the serial cable supplied with the product and a Terminal program such as
HyperTerminal from Microsoft.
If you decide to use this method you can directly go to §5 "Configuration using a Terminal
connection".

3. Configuration using the ePowerSwitch Finder program
Remarks:
∇ The ePowerSwitch 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 program ePS-Finder.exe 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 all parameters. To configure
all other parameters click on the Options button on the bottom of the dialog box.

4. Configuration using a Web browser
Remarks:
∇ In order to be able to access the Web server of the ePowerSwitch, you must before have
configured its network parameters (ask your network administrator).
∇ The configuration using a Web browser does not work if the administrator has deactivated it
in the configuration of the ePowerSwitch (for security reasons for example).
∇ The Web server of the ePowerSwitch works with Internet Explorer Version 6.0 or higher and
with Netscape Version 6.1 or higher.
1. Start your Web browser.
2. Type the IP address of your ePowerSwitch. The browser displays the authentication dialog
box.
3. Enter the administrator name (default value = admin) and the administrator password (default
value = admin) and click on OK.
The home page is displayed, allowing you to configure all the parameters of the
ePowerSwitch.

5. Configuration using a Terminal Connection
The RS232 serial port of the ePowerSwitch can be used to control its power socket and to
configure its Web server.
To configure the Web server:
1. Use the supplied RS232 serial cable to connect the ePowerSwitch-1 to an available serial
port of your PC.
2. Run a terminal program such as Windows HyperTerminal or the MicroTerminal program on
the CD (folder miscellaneous).
3. Configure the appropriate serial port with the following settings:
9.600 bauds, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
If you use the MicroTerminal program on the CD (folder miscellaneous) you only have to
choose the used serial port, this program is already configured at 9.600 bauds, 8 bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
