2.7 Caution about sequential switching

It is recommended to thoughtful connect the device to the appropriate socket number because of

the sequential switching outputs. Sequential switching sockets, starting from number 1 through 6

(excluding devices that has power-up state set to off) is a useful feature as it helps prevent large

inrush current. However, it carries certain consequences which users need to be aware of when using

specialized equipment or watchdog IP function.

If in managed network, it is important that any device was switched on before the other, it should be

connected to the socket with a lower number than the rest of the devices.

If the IP watchdog is used, it may be important that device which connects other devices to the

network (such as a router), was turned on first. This prevents a scenario where network devices will

turn on before the router and before they are connect to the network, they will be reset by the

watchdog IP.

3.2 Schedule

IP Power Strip lets you program weekly actions for each of the sockets.

Week scheduler can be found in Scheduler tab. To set the action for the socket you must first check

the Active checkbox in outlet tab that you want to set up. You can set two action for each socket per

day. Possible actions are: turning on, turning off and toggle the state of socket.

For example, if socket named “Router” should turn on Mondays at 8:00 and turn off at 16:00 on

Friday, then the fields should be set as shown in the picture below.

3.3 Configuring the watchdog

IP Power Strip allows you to automatically reset connected devices. Reset can be triggered by lack of
response to the ping or exceeded power consumption of the socket (only for PS6-M). Each socket can
be configured independently.

Go to Watchdog tab.

Watchdog IP

From the menu on the left, select an Watchdog IP group.
Activate the Watchdog IP function for the output by checking the Active checkbox.
Configure the IP address at which the device should respond to the ping.
IP Power Strip will periodically check whether the address responds to the ping. After three
unsuccessful attempts, the device will be hard reset (socket will be turned off for about one minute).
In the Power Up Time enter the time that IP power strip has to wait after resetting the device, before
it starts sending ping to the device again.
When three attempts to reset fail, the output will be turned off permanently.
After a watchdog alarm, to restore the normal functioning of the socket, go to Outputs and press the
Reset WD button.

IP watchdog work can be seen on the bottom of the webpage where you will find the information on
the current status of its operations for each of the sockets. These conditions are updated once per
minute, after sending and receiving the ping command to all outlets, so sometimes shown condition
may be out of date.

 State - this parameter refers to the current state of IP watchdog action, it can take one of the

following conditions

o I - watchdog inactive

o A - watchdog active

o C - Power up countdown

o R - Output reset

o E - Permanent output disconnection

 Power Up countdown - countdown power-up state, the time remaining to send the first ping

after turning on the socket

 Failed Ping tries - the number of ping lost in a row, when it reaches the value of 3, socket will

be restarted

 Reset Count - the number of times socket was restarted since the last answer to the ping

 Last Ping Try - information about the last response to sent ping

The figure below show two examples of how IP Watchdog works. Above the time axis are shown
device’s response to the ping, "1" means that the device answered, "0" that it did not. Under the
time axis are shown the actions performed by IP power strip. In the first case, the device stopped
responding to the ping command so it was reset and then it started working again. In the second
case, three times the hard reset didn`t help, so the socket was turned off permanently.

3.4 Setting up user accounts

IP Power Strip allows you to create 6 user accounts with limited rights. Each user have assigned rights
for each of the sockets separately. One of three levels of permission can be set: the ability to
configure the socket (writing permission), the ability only to check the state of socket (reading
permission) and lack of access to information about the output. User with reading permission can see
whether the outlet is turned on or off, and what actions are planned for him. With writing permission
you can change the state of the socket, giving them names, set the watchdog and action in schedule.
Only administrator account can create users and give them permission.

Go to Administrator tab.

From the menu on the left to select which user account you want to configure. To activate user
account, check the Active checkbox.

Enter the username, password, and set access rights to the sockets.

4.3 Trouble-shooting

Issue Possible cause and solution

No reaction at all (e.g. no light
indicators)

No power supply is attached – check the main power cable and its

power source.
Only the main switch indicator
is on.

Replace the fuse. Make sure that the equipment connected to the

power strip outlets do not overload it.
It is not possible to access the
power strip through the web
page.

If the LINK LED diode (Ethernet) is off: check the Ethernet cable and

other network equipment (switch, router, etc.)

If the LINK LED diode (Ethernet) is on: check if the Ethernet

configuration is correct.

When connecting directly to the PC use CAT5 crossover cable.

When connecting through switch/router use regular CAT5 cable.
The configuration settings are
not saved.

After the changes in configuration settings are made it is necessary

to reboot the power strip in status tab.
Forgotten password or
username

Restore the factory settings and reconfigure the IP Power Strip by

executing the first start-up procedure or if you are a user - contact

with administrator.
Cannot access www page
during first start-up

Make sure a direct connection between PC and IP Power Strip is

made using CAT5 crossover patch cord.

Firmware upgrade

failed

Execute the procedure of restoring the factory software:

1. Turn off and on the power strip IP using the main switch

2. Wait for about two seconds until the ACT LED lights up

3. Press the reset button and hold it. When ACT LED starts to blink

- release the button

4. Wait two minutes. Do not turn the power off as this may
cause irreversible damage to the device. After two minutes,
