1. Introduction and features
of the SiS-PM/MSiS-PM/SiS-PM-841/SiS-PMS
Congratulations on purchasing the Silver shield Power Manager.
Your SiS-PM or SiS-PMS (hereinafter SiS-PM(S)) is an advanced surge
protector with power management features. Four sockets are
individually manageable from the computer via the USB port interface.
E.g. can be switched on/off, by timer schedule, or triggered by user
or different events. It is also possible to pre-program the unit event timer
schedule and then disconnect the SiS-PM(S) from the computer
(hardware schedule) and use it elsewhere. Additionally the hardware
event schedule will work even with the managing computer switched off.
SiS-PM Power manager software has the following main features:
• Manual on and off switching of every socket via the software
control window;
• Switching sockets on and off according to the timer schedule of
events, typical applications include: “switch my peripherals on every
working day at 8:50AM” etc
• Switching sockets on and off when a certain event occurs
(Windows or other programs startup/shutdown), typical applications
include: “switch my scanner on when I want to scan” or “switch my
printer off whenever I exit Windows”
• The unit can be assigned a network name as a shared LAN
resource and can afterwards be accessed and managed from anywhere
within the local area network.

USER MANUAL
• Preprogramming of the hardware-based event time schedule. The
hardware schedule will work even with the managing computer
switched off (for SiS-PM an optional power adapter is required for this
function). The unit will keep performing the hardware time schedule
even after SiS-PM(S) gets temporarily switched off.
• Voltage monitor
• The software management supports any number of SiS-PM, SiS-
PMS and MSiS-PM connected to the computer.
• Management of SiS-PM(S) via the LAN and Internet.
• Command line interface support for user software applications is
also possible.
MSiS-PM is a single socket version of SiS-PM
SiS-PMS is an advanced surge protector with power management
features. Four sockets are individually manageable from the computer
via the USB port interface on the SiS-PMS. E.g. can be switched on/off,
by timer schedule, or triggered by user or different on-screen-software
events (like: switch on my scanner if I start image editing software, or
switch on security lights and alarm when my webcam software detects
motion in the image)
It is also possible to pre-program a timer schedule and then
disconnect the SiS-PMS from the computer (hardware schedule) and
use it else where. This hardware event schedule will work even when
the connected computer is switched off. The Built-in transformer of SiSPMS makes this possible.

SiS-PM-841 lets your external hardware (such as KVM switches *)
control SiS-PM-841 sockets, read the voltage being on the sockets
through the PM interface.
SiS-PM-841 let’s you make a chain with 10 devices connected to
one another to be controlled by external hardware (for example - by
KVM switches *)
* Supported models of KVM switches: CAS-441-PM, CAS-841-PM
1.1 SIS-PM (Silver Shield Programmable Power Outlet Strip (6
outl/4 programmable) and MSiS-PM (Single socket Silver Shield)
SIS-PM is an advanced surge protector with power management
features. Four sockets are individually manageable from the computer via
the USB port interface on the SIS-PM.
E.g. can be switched on/off, by timer schedule, or triggered by user or
different on-screen-software events (like: switch on my scanner if I start
image editing software, or switch on security lights and alarm when my
webcam software detects motion in the image)
It is also possible to pre-program a timer schedule and then
disconnect the SIS-PM from the computer (hardware schedule) and use it
else where. This hardware event schedule will work even when the
connected computer is switched off (however, you need a general
available 9V/500mA Power supply).
Includes Euro 20000 insurance for attached peripherals.
