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
Page 6
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

Page 5
Page 7
The iP-1 Management section is accessible from the top right link named “iP
Wall Management” and consists of 4 tabs;
Overview—Which shows the current configuration of the iP-1
Network Setup– Where you can configure IP address and other required network settings dependant on your personal network
User Setup– Where you can set the username and password for both the
admin account and user account
Configuration— Which allows you to configure he Power Cycle feature of
POD1.
OVERVIEW
The Overview Tab displays the current settings of the unit and the MAC address. This page is useful for retrieving all the information you may need to set
up the iP-1 on your network. If you have DHCP enabled, the IP address your
router/DHCP server assigned can be viewed here.
Page 6
Page 8
NETWORK SETUP
In the above screen capture you can see the network setup tab accessible
when logged in as Admin.
The Enable DHCP is checked by default. This will result in the router or DHCP
server assigning the IP address of the unit which will then be visible on the
OVERVIEW tab.
If you wish to set the IP address manually to conform with your personal network the fields are provided to do this. You must first disable the DHCP check
box and then enter the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and preferred
DNS values in compliance with your local network.
The Listen Port is used for remote access from outside your network. The default is set to 80. But this can be changed to any port you select that otherwise
is not being used by any other attached system. See page 13 for further details
on the port address and how it relates to remote access.
Page 7
Page 9
USER SETUP
The user setup tab is where you configure the Admin and User account passwords. You can change the username and password on both accounts by typing in the changes in the corresponding fields. There is a second password field
for both accounts that verifies you typed the password in correctly. If you did
not, an error message will be displayed when trying to save the changes.
Once you have set the desired username/passwords hit the ‘SAVE’ button and
the changes will be made and the unit will reboot. You may hit the Cancel button if you decide you don’t want the changes and the username/passwords will
remain unchanged.
Only the Admin login has access to the setup and configuration page. This login
should only be used by authorized people as changes can render the unit in an
unusable state if the wrong data is entered. A factory reset would then have to
be applied.
The User account has access to only the POD and Sequence control page.
Multiple Admins and Users can be logged into the device at the same time
which allows uninterrupted operation from multiple locations without the need
for other users to log out first. The commands are processed based on the last
command issued.

CONFIGURATION
POWER CYCLE FEATURE
The Configuration tab contains the Power Cycle control feature. The Power
Cycle feature is useful for rebooting routers should a connectivity issue arise.
Simply plug the router into POD1. Should a router lock up occur the units will be
rebooted via the power cycling of POD1 when your chosen domain cannot be
PINGed by the iP-1. This feature ships disabled and can be enabled using the
checkbox.
Before you enable this feature, be sure to configure the settings you require.
After you enable the Power Cycle feature the settings cannot be changed
unless you disable the feature again.
Please note: if you have a Dynamic IP address it is not advisable to plug your
Cable/DSL modem into POD1 as a reboot of the modem could result in a new
IP address being assigned to the modem and so could result in remote access
issues if you do not know what the new IP address is. If you have a static IP
address this is not an issue and the modem can also be plugged into POD1.
There are 3 user definable fields to this feature.
The ‘PING Address’ field is the internet address that the unit will use to check
network connectivity. The default is our web domain (www.juicegoose.com) and
can be left as is. If you wish to choose another domain simply type the address
Page 9
Page 11
in this field.
The ‘PING Every’ field is how often you want the iP-1 to check for connectivity.
The default is 30 seconds and can be changed to any value (in seconds) you
choose. It’s recommended that you don’t go below 30 seconds to allow any
attached devices ‘boot up’ time.
The ‘Power Cycle After’ field is how many failed PING attempts the unit will
carry out before rebooting POD1. The default is set to 2 tries but the user can
define any value.
Once you have completed all setup fields as desired hit the save button at the
bottom of the page to update the unit and reboot it.

REMOTE CONTROL AND MONITORING
TURNING POWER ON AND OFF - On the Control page, both PODs has associated with it a virtual On/Off button (Activate) and an On/Off indicator (Status).
Clicking an On/Off button turns the corresponding POD on or off. When a POD
is on the Status indicator will be green as if on. When a POD is off, it’s Status
indicator will darken, as if off.
POWER MONITORING - The Current indicator will show the amount of electric
current flowing through a particular POD. This meter is accurate to the nearest
0.1 amperes for levels between 0.2 and 20.0 amperes. Current measurement is
RMS, averaged over a period of three seconds. Because the iP-1 only measures current in one direction, from the outlet to the load, applications that feed
current back to the supply (for example inductive loads such as motors) will not
be measured accurately.
SEQUENCING SETTINGS - Rather than turning each POD on and off individually, in applications where it is desired to turn the outlets on and off in a coordinated sequence, a macro program can be set to turn the PODS on (1-2) and off
(2-1) in order with the click of a virtual button. Under the Sequence heading on
the Control page enter a desired number of seconds for the delay of turning the
PODS on and off. The default value is two seconds. Clicking the Activate button
will turn the outlets on or off in the prescribed order. The status of the PODs is
indicated below the Status heading on the Control page.
REMOTE OPERATION OF iP-1 - To access the iP-1 from a different network
other than the one the iP-1 is using, you need to first assign the iP-1 with a
PORT address on the Network setup page and then assign this on your router.
Log in to your router and enable the PORT FORWARDING feature (Sometimes
called Virtual Server) using the assigned iP-1 IP number you chose and the port
number you assigned. Each router’s port forwarding is different. So see your
routers manual for help with configuring this. Once you have port forwarding
setup you can access the iP-1 from a remote network by typing the IP address
and PORT address into your browser bar. The PORT address is added to the
end of the IP address separated by a colon.
Example 200.100.075.050:80 - In this example “80” is the port address.
If you have enabled the port forwarding correctly on your router you will be able
to access the iP-1 from any location in the world.
Using the On Board Web Server
Page 11
Page 13
It is possible to control and monitor iP-1 over Ethernet using raw TCP protocol.
In this mode, any PC ( Windows, Linux, Mac ) can connect to the iP-1 over a
TCP/IP connection using a suitable TCP/IP client program. Once the connection is made, the console commands (see page 15) are available to the user
over TCP/IP as if the user was connected to IP-1 over the local serial connection.
By default, TCP feature is disabled due to security reasons. This can be enabled through the web interface. The default TCP port is 33333; this can also
be changed through the web interface.
To enable TCP feature, click on the In Wall iP Management link on the web
interface and then click on Configuration tab. Mark the button called Enable in
the TCP section. Change the default TCP port, if needed.
RAW TCP CONTROL
Page 12
Page 14
To connect to IP-1 over TCP, simply start your TCP client program ( such as
Hercules or PuTTY) and specify the IP address of the iP-1 and the TCP port.
Start the connection ( many programs have a Connect button to start the connection ) and type iP-1 console commands such as Help. You should see the
reply to the command on the TCP client terminal window. See page 15 of this
manual for a full list of the console commands available.
Instead of a dedicated client program, it is also possible to use Telnet command
to establish the connection. For example, from Windows command prompt,
type:
telnet <IP Address> <Port>
where <IP Address> is the address of the iP-1 to connect and <Port> is the
TCP port to use.
Example: telnet 192.168.1.22 33333
Note: If there is no activity on the console for 10 minutes the TCP connection
will be closed automatically.
Page 13
Page 15
It is possible to control and monitor iP-1 over Ethernet using UDP protocol. In
this mode, any PC ( Windows, Linux, Mac ) can connect to the iP-1 using a
suitable UDP capable client program. Once the UDP port is opened, the serial
port console and its commands are available to the user over UDP as if the
user was connected to iP–1 over the local serial connection.
By default, UDP feature is disabled due to security reasons. This can be enabled through the web interface. The default UDP port is 30333; this can also
be changed through the web interface.
To enable UDP feature, click on In Wall iP Management link on the web interface and then click on Configuration tab. Mark the button called Enable in the
UDP section. Change the default UDP port, if needed.
UDP CONTROL
Unlike TCP, UDP is a connectionless protocol. Also, unlike TCP, UDP does not
guarantee delivery of messages. For simple console applications, this is not
critical and the message can be retyped if there is a problem with transmission.
See page 15 of this manual for a full list of the console commands available.
Page 14
Page 16
CONSOLE COMMANDS AVAILABLE
Here is a list of the console commands available using UDP and RAW TCP.
POD1ON – Turns POD 1 on
POD1OFF – Turns POD 1 off
POD2ON – Turns POD 2 on
POD2OFF – Turns POD 2 off
ALLON—Turns all PODs on without sequence
ALLOFF – Turns all PODs off without sequence
SEQUP(X) – Sequences up all PODs from 1 to 2, where (X) is the number of
seconds between sequence events (e.g. A 2 second sequence would be SEQUP2)
SEQDOWN(X) Sequences down all PODs from 2 to 1, where (X) is the number
of seconds between sequence events (e.g. A 2 second sequence would be
SEQDOWN2)
POD1CURRENT (Reports current draw on Pod 1)
POD2CURRENT (Reports current draw on Pod 2)
DHCPON - Enables DHCP on the iP-1
DHCPOFF - Disables the DHCP on the iP-1. You will want to disable DHCP
before entering any new network settings or the changes will be lost when connecting the unit to a network.
SETIP XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - Sets the IP address of the unit where ‘X’
represents your chosen numerals.
SETMASK XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - Sets the subnet mask of the unit
where ‘X’ represents your chosen numerals.
SETGATEIP XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - Sets the gateway of the unit where
‘X’ represents your chosen numerals.
SETPDNS - Sets the primary DNS IP address.
SETSDNS - Sets the secondary DNS IP address.
INFO - Shows all current settings
RESTART - Restarts/Reboots the iP-1. Use this command after making
your changes.
Page 15
Page 17
POWER LOSS FEATURE
The power loss feature on the iP-1 ensures that in the event of a power outage
the previous state is remembered when power is returned.
Effectively this means that if you have PODs in an activated state and the
power fails, when power is restored the PODs that were previously activated
will sequence back up in accordance with the sequence delay currently active.
To enable the power loss feature, click on iiP In Wall Management link on the
web interface and then click on Configuration tab. You will see a check box
under the Power Loss Feature section. Checking the box enables the feature.
NOTE:
Please note, a delay of up to 5 seconds can occur between issuing a command
in the web server and the iP-1 storing the state. So if power is lost just after a
command has been issued the state may not be remembered.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The Juice Goose iP-1 is ruggedly constructed and contains quality components.
There are no user serviceable parts inside this device. Unauthorized service will
void all existing warranties and may result in equipment damage and personal
injury.
Should improper performance be observed consult the following guidelines for
diagnosis.
THE iP01 WILL NOT POWER UP.
a. Check to see that main utility power is available and connected.
b. Check that the facility circuit breaker is not tripped.
c. Check the Network LED on the chassis. If it is not lit the iP device is proba-
bly not receiving power. Remove power from the iP device by flipping the
mains circuit breaker then restore power.
THE iP-1 PODS WILL NOT POWER DOWN.
a. It is likely that when a unit fails to turn off the cause is similar to that which
would cause a unit to fail to turn on.
b. Follow steps outlined in the power up solution above.
I CANNOT CONNECT TO THE iP1520 VIA MY NETWORK.
Ensure your router has DHCP enabled (see your router’s user manual to enable
this feature). Then type http://juicegoose to access the login screen.
Check you are using the correct cable, standard CAT5 cable for router connection, crossover cable for direct to PC connection.
If you are connecting directly to a PC you will have to configure your computer
to have an IP address of 192.168.1.1. See your operating systems help file on
how to do this. We recommend you setup the devices initially on a router.
Are you using the correct username and password? If you are accessing the
login page and your login is failing you might need to reset to factory default
and try again if you have forgotten the correct username/password combination.
If you are trying to connect from a remote network ensure you are trying to access using the correct IP address and PORT number which were assigned to
the unit. Port forwarding may need to be enabled on the remote unit’s network
router (see your administrator).
Page 17
Page 19
POD 1 KEEPS REBOOTING.
The Power Cycle feature may be enabled and there is no connectivity to the
selected domain. POD 1 will power cycle if the defined domain name to be
PINGed is unreachable. This can happen if you’re using the unit independently
of a web enabled network. Disable the feature in this case.
a. Ensure you have chosen a valid web address to PING.
b. Ensure you have the PING set to at least 30 seconds and the retries to at
least 2. If you have a router/modem on POD1, 60 seconds with 2 retries is recommended to allow time for the modem to boot up and reestablish connection.
THE iP-1 TURNS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY.
a. The unit may have encountered excessive current draw that caused the cir-
cuit breaker to trip. Examine the breaker. If it has tripped the button section
of the breaker will be extended and can be reset by pushing it in after the
unit has been off for a brief period.
b. Review the current requirement of the equipment plugged into the iP device
and compare it to the amperage rating of the iP device in question. See the
Detail Specification section of this manual on Page 3.
I’VE FORGOTTEN MY USERNAME/PASSWORD.
The only way to fix this issue is to do a factory reset of the unit as detailed below.
FACTORY RESET ALL VALUES.
The iP1520 can be returned to it’s default firmware values by pressing the reset
button on the side of the IP-1 to the right of the RJ45 input connector. This will
also reset the IP and RS232 to their default settings of IP: 192.168.1.77 and
Baud rate 19200 and enable the DHCP feature.
WARNING: The iP-1 needs to be powered on to perform the factory reset.
Be careful to only touch the factory reset button and ideally use a pencil
to press it. There is a risk of shock if you touch anything else inside the
iP-1. This task should only be performed by a qualified Electrician.
To perform the factory reset, press the “Reset” button and hold it for 10 seconds
and being careful not to touch anything else inside the iP-1. The network LED
will be lit solid. When the LED goes out the reset is complete.
