1. Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the IPS-0008, an intelligent power management system. The IPS-0008 provides the useful ability of managing power for any combination of network equipment connected to it. You can control the power on/off for any device connected to the IPS-0008, manually or remotely, using a console or Ethernet connection.

The IPS-0008 comes with eight power outlets, each of which can be monitored and controlled through the console or web i nterfaces. You can also use the front panel to operate the power outlets. The IPS-0008 is also equipped with a console port for connecting an EMD (Environmental Monitored Device, optional) for sensing temperature and humidity along with two alarms that can be activated when either of the sensors shows unusual values. The IPS-0008 is provided with two digital outputs which you can use for connecting status indicators or digital switches.

The device is designed to remember the configuration of each outlet and inlet and is also able to measure the input and output current consumption.

Component Description

5 Reset button Enables you to reset the IPS-0008

in case the system locks up.

6 Operation mode DIP

switch

7 Serial (CONSOLE) port Enables you to configure the

IPS-0008 using the serial port. You can also connect an optional EMD to this port.

8 Ethernet (LAN) port Enables you to configure the

IPS-0008 through a LAN or WAN.

1.3.2. Status Indicator

The front panel of the IPS-0008 has several LED indicators that provide information about the input and output power status. The following table describes these status indicators.

Status Indicator

Description

Output power status indicator (A ~ H)

Displays status of each power outlet (A ~ H) as follows:

1. Current level indicator: Displays the amount of current being drawn by the connected output device through the power outlet.

2. Outlet power indicator: Displays the out- let power status.

– Grey: power off – Green: power on

3. Remote control indicator: Displays the remote control status of each outlet.

– Grey: remote control is

enabled.

– Red: remote control is

disabled.

4. Control button: Allows manual control of each power outlet. Press repeatedly to switch between remote control and power on/off mode. See “Using the control but- tons” on page 7

Status Indicator

Input power consumption indicator

Input power status indicator

Description

Displays input power consumed by the output devices connected to the IPS-0008 outlets. The power consumption is displayed as a percentage value.

Displays input voltage (Volts), input current (Ampere), and frequency (Hz), sequentially on the 7-segment switching display. This indicator also shows system errors in the form of an error code such E01, E02, E03, and so on. Refer to “Error codes” on page 27 under the appendix for a list of all error codes.

1.3.3. Using the control buttons

You can turn on power manually for each of the eight output devices with the control buttons provided under each status indicat or A through H. Each button allows you to set the remote control function as well as turn power on/off for each outlet manually.

The control button has two modes of operation. Press the button repeatedly to switch between Remote Control mode and Power On/Off mode. When you press the control button, the IPS-0008 switches modes as follows:

After switching modes, you need to press the control button again within 5 seconds to change the mode status.

Remote control mode

1. Press the control button once. The remote control indicator starts flashing red.

2. Now press control button again within 5 seconds and hold for more than 5 seconds. The remote control indicator starts flashing red at a faster speed and then inverts its origin al state.

For instance, if remote control indicator is enabled (grey) before you press the control button, it turns on (red) after step 2, indicating that remote control is disabled.

Power on/off mode

1. Press the control button twice. The outlet power indicator starts flashing green.

2. Now press control button again within 5 seconds and hold for more than 5 seconds. The outlet power indicator starts flashing green at a faster speed and then inverts its origin al state.

For instance, if outlet power indicator is off (grey) before you pre ss the control button, it turns on (green) after step 2, indicating that outlet power is turned on.
