1 Introduction

IQsocket IQSW-IP10 is a member of family of intelligent power sockets brought to you by IQtronic, Ltd.

IQsocket IQSW-IP10 allows you to control of any electric appliance connected to the device’s socket remotely over any IP network, including internet. You can use for this purpose any device supporting internet browser (HTTP protocol) such as PC, smartphone etc) or using SNMP protocol.

Output power socket: Connect your

electric appliance here. This socket is intelligent, can be controlled remotely, manually or automatically (scheduler).

Power plug: Input of AC power for

product and also for connected appliance. Fits into electric socket/outlet.

LED indicators: Inform you about

device status.

RJ-45 socket: Connect it into your

Ethernet network

Push button: For turning on/ off

power socket manually or resetting configuration to factory default values.

Besides controlling of the socket via IP protocol, IQsocket IQSW-IP10 is equipped with a choice of useful functions, including:

• Push button for manual control of the socket

• Watch dog function based on evaluation of ICMP packet loss

• Time scheduler function, allowing switching on/off your appliance based on

day of week and time.

1.1 Product features

In general, IQsocket IQSW-IP10 has following features:

• Controlling (turn on, turn off; restart by cutting power for short time) of any electric appliance connected to the switched socket by HTTP and SNMP protocols or manually by pressing pushbutton on IQSW-IP10 body

• Configuring IQSW-IP10 parameters by HTTP or SNMP protocols, password protected

• XML and HTML status page, can be excluded from password protection, for easier integration with your web applications

• Can send SNMP traps

• IQLocator configuration utility allowing to autodiscovery your IQsocket

devices within LAN network, setup IP address and upgrade firmware

• Automatic control based on evaluation of ICMP packet loss with up to three independent rules – watchdog function

• Automatic control based on day of week and time – scheduler function

• Real time clock synchronized using NTP protocol

• On board temperature sensor to monitor internal temperature

• Support remote firmware upgrade

• Event log storing up to last 50 events, such as socket on/off changes,

device startups, LAN port connectivity, firmware upgrade etc.

• Tiny footprint firmware is efficiently coded in C/assembler, there is no Linux or other operating system inside, so startup times are really short (<3sec) and tcpip stack is clean with no hidden bugs ;-)

2 Installation

Before starting installation, please read this manual and take into account Important information section at beginning of this manual.

2.1 Wiring the IQsocket IQSW-IP10

Wiring is intuitive, simply wire RJ-45 jack into your Ethernet network using supplied cable, then connect your electric appliance to the device’s socket and plug the IQSW-IP10 into a free electric socket.

Controlled power socket: Connect

your electric appliance here.

Power plug: Plug the IQSW-IP10 into

an electrical socket.

RJ-45 socket: For connecting IQSW-

IP10 with your Ethernet network.

Note…

Both the socket and the plug of the IQSW-IP10 follow the same international standard and nominal voltage rating. Ensure you ordered proper international version of the IQSW-IP10 suitable for your country

WARNING!

Please respect maximum current rating of switched socket 16A for resistive load. Do not overload your IQSW-IP10, as this may damage or shorten life span of the internal switching relay, which is not covered by warranty. It is recommended to use external contactor in case of higher current is required and/or capacitive/inductive load will be used.

2.2 Powering IQSW-IP10 On

Once you plug your IQsocket IQSW-IP10 into a live electric socket, it become powered on and starts operation.

You can verify it by observing status of the LEDs:

• Once AC power is connected, all three LED indicators will blink shortly and internal self-test is performed. Then, if everything is ok, the Power LED (Red) will blink every second.

• LINK/ACT (Green) – solid light indicated established Ethernet link, blanked for short time when an Ethernet activity occurs

• The Output LED (Yellow) indicates state of output socket. Sold light means socket is active – appliance plugged into the output socket is operating and vice versa.

Please see chapter 3.5 for more information on LED indicators.

Your IQSW-IP10 is now ready for use.

3 Managing IQSW-IP10

This chapter guides you through management and configuration of IQSW-IP10.

Your IQsocket IQSW-IP10 is equipped with an internal web server, which provides an easy to use, intuitive and convenient way of management. You can both set up configuration and operation parameters and get information about device’s status. There is also support for SNMP protocol, allowing to integrate your IQSW-IP10 into any SNMP management suite.

In order to access the web interface, it is necessary to setup IP network address on your PC properly.

3.1 Setting IP addresses

Default IP address of the IQsocket IQSW-IP10 is 192.168.0.100, network mask

255.255.255.0.

In order to access your IQSW-IP10, it is necessary to setup IP address of your computer, connected to the same Ethernet network as the IQSW-IP10 properly – in this case set the IP address of the network adapter to 192.168.11, mask

255.255.255.0.

You can also change the IP address of your IQSW-IP10 using IQLocator utility, see chapter 3.5 for more information.

3.2 Managing by web browser

Once you have properly set IP address of your PC, open the address of your IQSW-IP10 (default 192.168.0.100) in your favorite internet browser:

If everything is ok, status page will be displayed.

3.2.1 Status page

Provides summary of device status:

Explanation of parameters:

Section System information provide basic status information, such as Device name and Location, info on time, firmware version, Ethernet MAC address and temperature reading of internal temperature sensor.

Section Last event provides date/time of last change of socket state and current socket state.

Section Rules status informs about currently active automatic rules evaluating ICMP packet loss to chosen hosts.

3.2.2 Network configuration

Here you can configure networking and security parameters:

Page 11 of 36

Explanation of parameters:

IP address

You can setup IP networking parameters such as IP address, Network mask Default Gateway, DNS servers; please ensure to enter proper values. Please

note it is necessary to define a fixed IP address even if case you are using a DHCP environment.

Note…

When your local network is using private addresses behind a NAT router and you would like to make your IQSW-IP10 accessible from the Internet, it is necessary to setup port mapping (forwarding, server rule) in your router for the IP address assigned to IQSW-IP10 and selected ports, e.g. port TCP 80 for accessing web interface.

SOHO example: Your network contains a modem/router with NAT for internet access, having IP address 192.168.1.254. Simply find an unused IP address from the private network range it use (192.168.1.1-192.168.1.253) e.g.

192.168.1.200, double check it is not used e.g. by using Ping command from your PC: C:\>ping 192.168.1.200 Pinging 192.168.1.200 with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out.

Then assign the 192.168.1.200 to the IQSW-IP10 by either IQLocator utility or by web interface and use address of the router (192.168.1.254) in both Gateway and DNS fields.

NTP setup

IQSW-IP10 can synchronize its clock from an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server, please don’t forget also to define time zone. Please note NTP feature will work only if IQSW-IP10 will have access to the Internet.

Note…

It is highly recommended define NTP properly and allow your IQSW-IP10 accessing the Internet; otherwise logging and scheduler feature can’t work properly.
