INTRODUCTION
iP-1
WEB BASED REMOTE POWER CONTROL
The Juice Goose iP-1 is a microcontroller based power distribution device that
can be accessed via intranet or internet communications using Ethernet connection. With this remote access, individual AC receptacles can be turned on
and off and AC power receptacles can be monitored for electrical current flow.
The iP-1 has a 15 amp capacity .
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The iP-1 is to operate at 120 volts, 60 hertz. Operation with any voltage or frequency other than that can damage the equipment and create an unsafe situation.
CAUTION #1: This device must be grounded. Failure to ground the device
could expose the user to dangerous electric shock.
CAUTION #2: This device should be installed only by qualified electrical technicians using appropriate mounting hardware and correct installation techniques.
When installing make sure main power is off.
CAUTION #3: Do not expose the iP-1 to moisture or salty air. Doing so could
cause significant damage and create an unsafe condition.
DISCLAIMER
Juice Goose shall under no circumstances be held responsible for any losses,
damage, or injury resulting directly or indirectly from the use of the iP-1 device
in a manner contrary to accepted safe operating methods or any instructions
contained in this document. The user should determine prior to use whether this
product is adequate, suitable and safe for the application intended. Since individual applications can be subject to extreme variation Juice Goose makes no
representation or guarantee as to the suitability of the iP-1 for any generally
described application.

QUICKSTART GUIDE
1. Unbox the unit. The box should contain: iP-1, a 3 gang electrical box , a
manual, warranty card and Juice Goose promotional material. You will
need a standard CAT5 network cable if attaching to a router, a CAT 5/6
crossover cable if connecting directly to a PC (cables are not provided with
this unit).
2. Ensure your PC is on and booted up and the iP-1 has been installed by
a qualified electrician and is connected to your network.
3. The iP-1 will take about 30 seconds to boot up and configure itself when
power is restored after installation at which point the Network light on the
front of the unit will illuminate, indicating network connectivity. If the Network light blinks or does not light at all check the cable connections.
5. Open up your web browser and type in the following default IP address
to access the iP-1 on your network : http://juicegoose.
6. At this point you will be prompted to log into the iP-1.
Initial login will be:
Username: admin
Password: juicegoose
7. You will be presented with the control section where you can control the
iP-1’s PODS by clicking on the buttons or using the Sequence field by entering the value in seconds and clicking the Sequence UP button.
8. To setup a specific IP address, change passwords for the admin/user
account or configure other advanced features of the iP-1 click on the ‘In
Wall IP Management’ link at the top right of the displayed page. You will
need to be logged in as admin to access this section. This section is described in more detail beginning on page 6.
See your system administrator, if you have one, for help with configuration.

FRONT PANEL FEATURES
NETWORK LED - This LED will light up solid when the iP-1 is connected to an
Ethernet network connection. It will blink quickly when an Ethernet cable is attached but no network can be found. When no network cable is connected the
light will blink slowly indicating the unit is powered up.
DUPLEX OUTPUT- There is 1 duplex receptacle on the front panel of the iP-1.
This is split into 2 outlets, each is rated for a maximum 15 amp load and each is
controllable to turn on or off independently of the other. When the on-board sequencing process is used outlet 1 will turn on first, followed by the 2nd outlet.
They will turn off in reverse order using this same process.
CHASSIS FEATURES
NETWORK (Ethernet) PORT - This RJ45 connector is for connecting to your PC,
router or local area network using a TCP/IP link.
FACTORY RESET SWITCH - This switch located to the right of the RJ45 connector is used to reset the iP-1 back to factory settings. This process should only be
attempted by a qualified electrician as it requires the unit to be powered during
the reset process. Hold in for 10 seconds under power to reset to factory settings.

DETAILED INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Unbox the unit. The box contains: the iP-1 unit, a 3 gang electrical box, the iP-1
manual and a warranty card .
Have the 3 gang box supplied with the iP-1 (or an acceptable alternative), installed by a qualified electrician along with the iP-1. The wire harness from the
IP-1 will be located within the empty portion of the 3 gang box and connected to
the mains power supply using wire nuts.
A CAT5 network cable within wall will also be needed and should be connected
to the RJ45 input on the iP-1 which is accessible from the outside of the 3 gang
box.
Complete wire and network cable installation and mount the iP-1 securely before turning on power to the unit at the circuit breaker panel.
SET UP DETAIL
Connecting to the iP-1 to a router. (Singular units)
1. After installation of the iP-1 connect the free end of the RJ45 cable into your
router.
2. The iP-1 will take a few seconds to boot up and configure itself once it receives power, at which point the Network light on the front of the unit should
illuminate and remain on without blinking, indicating network connectivity. If the
Network light blinks check the cable connections.
3. Open a web browser on a PC connected to the same network router as the
iP-1 and type in the following address on the navigation bar to access the iP-1:
http://juicegoose
Be sure to type exactly as shown. No domain such as .com should be
added.
4. You will be presented with the login box. Enter the following initial username
and password (these can be changed later):
User: admin
Password: juicegoose
Setting up multiple iP-1’s.
DHCP is automatically enabled on the iP-1 out of the box, as such plugging
multiple units into a router without first assigning the Individual IP addresses
may cause problems identifying each units actual IP address.
If you are setting up multiple iP-1s on the same network a different setup approach is advised, which can be accomplished in 2 ways.
Page 4
1. Multiple iP-1 setup on a router.
1(a). When installing more than one iP-1 on a router each one needs to be assigned it’s individual IP address before plugging/powering on the next unit to be
added.
1(b). Connect the first iP-1’s network cable to the router and follow the singular
unit setup above.
1(c). Be sure to turn off DHCP in the configuration section of the IP-1’s configuration page and assign the IP address you want the unit to use.
1(d) Once the IP address as been assigned click the save button to save and
reboot the iP-1.
1(e) You now access the iP-1 you just configured by using it’s assigned IP address rather than the http://juicegoose method.
1(f) Repeat steps (b) through (e) assigning a different IP address for each unit.
1(g) If remote operation of multiple units is desired you’ll also need to choose a
different port number for each unit, the default is port 80.
2. Bench setup.
2(a). Gather all the iP-1s you want to setup along with a computer, crossover
cable and
2. The iP-1 Network LED on the front of the unit should illuminate and remain
on without blinking, indicating network connectivity. If the Network light blinks
check the cable connections.
4. In Windows go to your start menu and navigate to the control panel. Then
choose the Network Connections” icon.
5. Open Network connections by double clicking on it, select the LAN or HIGHSPEED icon, right click on this and select properties.
6. Click once on the Internet Protocol item that you will see at the bottom of the
list and select the properties button which is at the mid right.
7. Check the “Use the following IP address” box and then change the IP address to: 192.168.1.1, then change the Default Gateway address also to:
192.168.1.1.
8. Click OK and then close the network box.
9. Open a web browser on your PC and type in the following address on the
navigation bar to access the iP-1: 192.168.1.77.
10. The iP-1 login box will appear, enter your login details and operate the iP-1.
