The supplied RS-232 cable (D9f to RJ-10) is used to connect the power strip to the RS-232 port of the devices which manage the power strip (i.e. LINDY Rack Monitoring System, IP Access Switch Plus, etc.) The power strip is powered using

Cascading of multiple RS-232 Power Strips

Please make sure that there is NO connection to the mains when changes

When cascading multiple power strips over large distances the RS-485 bus termination has to be enabled. To enable termination DIP switches 7 and 8 (under the protective covers) have to be set to ON. This termination is required for any bus lengths above 100m.

The power strips are equipped with an internal protocol converter (from RS-232 to RS-485) to cascade multiple power strips. The cables used to cascade the power strips are standard RJ-45 patch cables. Just connect the power strip to the cascaded all (up to 32) power strips.

Please make sure that there is NO connection to the mains when changes are made to

the DIP switches (Address settings and Bus termination)! Detach ALL power strips!

The Address DIP switch (2) is hidden behind a protective cover plate. The default setting is Address = 0.

Up to 64 addresses can be set. DIP switch 1 refers to the highest bit (value=32), DIP switch 6 to the lowest (value=1). All switches OFF means Address = 0.

Example : To set the address to 17( = 16 + 1), DIP switch 2 and 6 have to be "ON”. See below –

Please close the protective cover after address and termination settings have been made.

RS-232 Management

Detailed documentation about the RS-232 management protocol can be found on the supplied CD. The CD also contains DOS programs and other tools which allow you to access the power strips from a computers RS-232 port. For example, here are the commands available in the program PMODULE:

PowerModule V0.60 usage: PModule -dx [-i][-s[x]][-onx][-offx][-a[d]x][-tox][-f][-tx.xx][-v][-comx]

-d device address x (0..31)

-i read device type

-s read status from all outlets

-sx read status from outlet x (1..8)

-onx switch outlet x on (9 for all)

-offx switch outlet x off (9 for all)

-ax switch all binary

-adx switch all binary with delay

-tox toggle outlet x

-ponx t pulse outlet x on off with time t (1..16383 x 100ms)

-poffx t pulse outlet x off on with time t (1..16383 x 100ms)

-f find devices

-tx.xx timeout factor (-t1.25)

-v verbose

-comx use com x (1 or 2, default is 1)

Every cascaded power strip has to be set to its own address!
