1. CONNECTION

Connect the IPower Control unit to the mains and to your Ethernet network. There are eight
LEDs at the front of the unit which relate to the switching state of the ports. When using the
IPower Control for the first time all LEDs will simultaneously light up red.

When reconnecting the IPower Control to a power supply the LEDs will light up successively
(during this procedure the IPower Control is not available via a web browser). Depending on
the ports switching state the LEDs will illuminate red (port is switched off) or green (port is
switched on). If the IPower Control is additionally connected to an existing Ethernet network a
green LED next to the LAN input will illuminate.

An IP address must be allocated to the IPower Control in order for it to switch via Ethernet. The
IP address must belong to the desired sub network. The allocation can be accomplished either
manually or automatically by a DHCP server (see 2.1 below). For manual allocation under
Windows, we recommend the program IPCnet_conf.exe

*1

(see 2.2).

After modifying the IP settings the IPower Control can be switched by all PCs on the same
network via the website of the IPower Control.

2. IP SETTINGS

2.1 Allocation by DHCP

If there is a DHCP server available on the network an unused IP address will be allocated
automatically each time the IPower Control is connected. This option can be disabled (see

section 6) or modified by appropriate configuration of the DHCP server.

2.2 Allocation via software

*1

(Windows only)

Start the IPower Control in boot
mode (see section 7) and launch
the IPCnet_conf.exe program.
The program will automatically
search for connected devices
and display their IP settings. If
the displayed IP address
matches the default setting
(192.168.0.2) there is either no
DHCP server available or no
unused IP address could be
allocated.

Enter an unused IP address and the gateway of the desired sub network. Save changes with
Program Device/SaveConfig.

After changing the network settings the IPower Control must be restarted

*2

in normal mode

(see section 7). After restarting click on Search in order to display the modified settings.

*1 Available from our website www.lindy.com
*2 Restart means unplug and then re-plug the IPower Control to the mains.

3. SWITCHING VIA ETHERNET

Login to the website of the IPower Control, http:// “IP Address of IPower Control” (e.g.

192.168.0.2). You may need to enter a password (see section 6). Now you can choose a port in
order to reset it or switch it directly.

The following options are available:

Configuration

The settings of the IPower Control and the single ports can be configured here (see section 4
below)

Logout

Only one user can be logged in at a time. After three minutes inactivity there will be an
automatic log out.

Having chosen a port it can be switched or reset.

Reset

Independently of the current switching state, the port will be switched on after the chosen delay,
i.e. the connected device will be turned on.

4. CONFIGURATION

Via the website of the IPower Control, you can access the configuration menu. To modify the
settings of a port, choose it from the roll-up menu in the upper part of the configuration menu
(Port Configuration, section 5). The IPower Control settings can be modified in the lower part of
the menu (Network Configuration, section 6).

Modifications to name and password will be applied immediately. To apply modifications to
other settings, the IPower Control must be restarted.
