1. DESCRIPTION
ePowerSwitch*8XM is a power control unit with a built-in Web server, an Ethernet and a RS232
connection. It enables to control the power supply of 8 power outlets through an Ethernet connection. The
number of controlled power outlets can be extended up to 136 by cascading up to 16 ePowerSwitch 8XS
to the Master. It supports a maximum load of 2x10A through 2 separate power inputs.
This high security unit offers HTTPS protocol with Web browsers that support SSL version 2 or 3.
It also supports plenty of control options to increase the security of your facilities and reduce unforeseen
downtimes of your equipment. Its modular conception allows to monitor many sensors and trigger
emergency actions like alert sending via SNMP traps, Email or Syslog messages. It is able to record all
events into a time-stamped log file.

3.3.8.4. Settings / Peripherals - Digital Inputs
Up to 16 x Digital Input Modules, Push Buttons or Temperature and Proximity sensors can be attached to
the ePowerSwitch 8XM to monitor environmental conditions.
You can connect them the RJ45 connector on the ePowerSwitch 8XM or behind an xBus peripheral
already connected to the ePowerSwitch 8XM (Daisy Chain Connection).
An I/O Extension Module is also available to connect 8 dry contact inputs and 4 relay outputs to
the ePowerSwitch 8XM (ref. I/O EXT MOD).
3.3.8.4.1. Digital Input Modules
Up to 16 Digital Input Modules with 16 inputs for dry contacts (door contacts, smoke and water
detectors…) can be attached to the ePowerSwitch 8XM to monitor environmental conditions.
To connect a Digital Input Module to the ePowerSwitch 8XM, use following procedure:
1. Set the dip switches on the bottom of the case so that the selected I/O address does not conflict with
another Digital Input Module already installed (see user's guide of the Digital Input Module).
- Do NOT connect the xBus cable and the Power adapter(s) before setting its DIP switches
- Do NOT use the same address for two different Digital Input Modules
2. Using a standard RJ45 network cable, connect the Digital Input Module to the RJ45 xBus connector on
the ePowerSwitch 8XM or behind another xBus peripheral already connected to the
ePowerSwitch*8XM.
3. Connect the power adapter(s) to your Digital Input Module.
To configure the Digital Input Module, use following Log in procedure:
1. Open you browser and log in to the Administrator's Configuration Page,
(ex. http://192.168.100.200/sysadmin.htm
).
2. Enter the administrator name and password (default for both = admin). The home page appears.
3. Click on the Settings and then on the Peripherals Tab.
If the Digital Input Module is properly connected to the ePowerSwitch 8XM it will be automatically
recognized and displayed on this page after a delay of up to 60 seconds. In this case, the colour of the
corresponding Edit and Info symbol is red.
The Peripheral page is not automatically refreshed, so you need to refresh it by clicking the
peripheral TAB again (or push [F5] or press <CTRL-R> on your keyboard if you use Internet
Explorer or Mozilla Firefox).

3.3.8.4.2. Temperature and proximity sensors
Up to 16 temperature and proximity sensors can be attached to the ePowerSwitch*8XM to monitor
temperature change and detect presence of a target
The IR proximity sensor acts as a digital input like the Digital Input Module or the Push Button.
You can connect a sensor to the RJ45 connector on the ePowerSwitch 8XM or behind an xBus peripheral
already connected to the ePowerSwitch 8XM (Daisy Chain Connection).
To connect a sensor to the ePowerSwitch 8XM, use following procedure:
1. Set the dip switches of the sensor so that the selected I/O address does not conflict with another
sensor already installed (see user's guide of the corresponding sensor).
- Do NOT connect the xBus cable before setting its DIP switches.
- Do NOT use the same address for two different sensors.
2. Using a standard RJ45 network cable, connect the sensor to the RJ45 xBus connector on the
ePowerSwitch*8XM or behind another xBus peripheral already connected to the ePowerSwitch 8XM.
To configure the sensor, use following Log in procedure:
1. Open you browser and log in to the Administrator's Configuration Page,
(ex. http://192.168.100.200/sysadmin.htm
).
2. Enter the administrator name and password (default for both = admin). The home page appears.
3. Click on the Settings and then on the Peripherals Tab.
If the sensor is properly connected to the ePowerSwitch 8XM it will be automatically recognized and
displayed on this page after a delay of up to 60 seconds. In this case, the colour of the corresponding Edit
and Info symbol is red.
The Peripheral page is not automatically refreshed, so you need to refresh it by clicking the
peripheral TAB again (or push [F5] or press <CTRL-R> on your keyboard if you use Internet
Explorer or Mozilla Firefox).
Problem / Troubleshooting
y If you choose any setting that is already in use by another sensor connected to the ePowerSwitch
8XM, a conflict occurs and the corresponding Edit and Info symbol of the previous connected sensor
will be changed to black. In that case, disconnect your last connected sensor, change the DIP switch
settings to solve the address conflict and reconnect the sensor again. If the conflict is solved, all
connected sensors will now appear on the Peripherals page and their Edit and Info Symbol will be red.
y The Peripheral page is not automatically refreshed, so you need to refresh it by clicking the peripheral
TAB again (or push [F5] or press <CTRL-R> on your keyboard if you use Internet Explorer or Mozilla
Firefox).

In the second drop-down list, choose the Input you want to monitor. The ePowerSwitch 8XM uses ID
Codes to clearly identify each Input:
• DI1 to DI4 for the digital inputs of the ePowerSwitch 8XM,
• PS followed by a number for the IR proximity sensor inputs,
• DI followed by a number for the digital inputs of a DIM module,
• SP followed by a number for a short push on the push buttons,
• LP followed by a number for a long push on the push buttons.
Action if contact...:
In this Drop-Down list choose if the action has to be executed when:
- a contact opens or closes,
- when a push button is used (On or Off),
- when a IR proximity sensor detects a presence (On or Off).
Configuring the Actions
For the Event defined above, you can choose and configure following actions:
Set Group:
This type of action appears and can be configured only if you have already created at least one
group (Settings/Groups Tab).

to. In the next corresponding drop-down list, choose the action to execute.
Each power outlet group can be switched On/Off and restarted. If you choose "restart" you will also be
able to define a restart delay between 0 and 65535 seconds.
- If you choose 0 second, the delay will be the delay defined in the ePowerSwitch power outlets settings.
- If you choose a delay different from 0, the delay will replace the delay defined in the ePowerSwitch
power outlets settings.
Set Power Outlet:
Check this box and in the corresponding drop-down list, choose the power outlet the rule will apply to. In
the next corresponding drop-down list, choose the action to execute. Each power outlet can be switched
On/Off and restarted. If you choose "restart" you will also be able to define a restart delay between 0 and
65535 seconds.
- If you choose 0 second, the delay will be the delay defined in the ePowerSwitch power outlets settings.
- If you choose a delay different from 0, the delay will replace the delay defined in the ePowerSwitch
power outlets settings.
Set Digital Output:
Check this box and in the first corresponding drop-down list, choose the device from which one you want
to switch a digital output. In the second drop-down list, choose the digital output the rule will apply to. In
the next corresponding drop-down list, choose the action to execute. Each digital output can be open,
close, pulse open or pulse close. If you choose "pulse...", you will also be able to define a pulse delay
between 0 and 65535 seconds.
- If you choose 0 second, the delay will be the delay defined in the digital output settings.
- If you choose a delay different from 0, the delay will replace the delay defined in the digital output
settings.
Send Syslog Message:
This type of action appears and can be configured only if you have already created at least one
destination Syslog Server (Misc/Log Settings Tab).
Check this box if you want to send a message to a Syslog server. In the following drop-down lists choose
the facility and the severity of the message to send. The address of the Syslog server has to be defined in
the "Log Settings Page".
Send Trap Message:
This type of action appears and can be configured only if you have already specified at least a
destination SNMP Server (General/SNMP Tab).
Check this/these box(es) and specify one or two SNMP addresses in the corresponding field if you want to
send SNMP messages to one or two SNMP Servers.
Mail to:
This type of action appears and can be configured only if you have already created a destination
SMTP Server (General/SMTP Tab).
Check this/these box(es) and specify one or two e-mail address(es) in the corresponding field if you want
to send an e-mail to one or two specific user(s). To send e-mails, you will need a SMTP server on the
network and you will have to configure its parameters in the "SMTP Page".
60
Syslog / Trap / Mail Message:
This field appears only if you have already specified at least one destination Syslog Server
(Misc/Log Settings Page), one destination SNMP Server (General/SNMP Page) or a destination
SMTP Server (General/SMTP Page).
Up to 255 characters may be entered in this free text field. The text will appear in the Syslog, the Trap and
the e-mails.
The message can be completed with the status of an input (a power supply or door contact for example)
or the value of a sensor (a temperature sensor for example). For this, simply enter, between two percent
characters, the ID of the corresponding input device (for details see § 5.1 Sending status and values using
rules).

5. APPENDIX
5.1. Sending status information and sensor values using rules
The administrator can create rules (see Settings/Rules) to trigger actions and send personalized
messages in form of Syslog messages, SNMP traps or emails when an event occurs. Moreover, the
administrator also has the possibility to complete his messages with status information of an input (a
power supply or a door contact for example) or the value of a sensor (a temperature sensor for example).
In the "Syslog/Trap/Mail Message" field of the rule settings page, the administrator has simply to enter the
ID of the input of which he wants to send the status or value. This ID is made of the ID of the device where
the input is located and the ID of the input itself.
The IDs have to be entered between two percent characters.
Many IDs can be specified in the text box but the message must not exceed 255.
Syntax: %[device ID]:[input ID]%
To know all IDs currently used by the system, go to the "Settings/Rules" page and click on "Add a New
Rule". The two IDs of the monitored input are displayed in the two fields in the middle of the page.
- To know all Digital Input IDs, choose "Digital Input Monitoring Rule" as Rule Type.
- To know all Analog Input IDs, choose "Analog Input Monitoring Rule" as Rule Type.
- To know all Power Status IDs, choose "Power Supply Monitoring Rule" as Rule Type.
Examples:
- To send the value of the T1 temperature, the administrator could add following line in the
"Syslog/Trap/Mail Message" text area:
Temperature is %T1:T1%
- To send the state of the D1 door contact of the DIM1 Digital Input Module, the administrator could add
following line in the "Syslog/Trap/Mail Message" text area:
Door contact status is %DIM1:DI1%
The schedule rule can be used to send status information or sensor values on specified weekdays
at regular interval.

5.2. Ping and Scan Methods
ePowerSwitch 8XM has two methods to check whether an IP equipment (PC, server, router, Webcam...)
is still alive:
Address Pinging:
The first method uses the well-known Ping command whereby a request is sent to a specific IP address.
The Ping command, which is an echo request, enables you to determine through an ICMP protocol
(Internet Control Message Protocol) if an IP device is available on the network. If the system reacts to this
request, ePowerSwitch 8XM knows that the TCP/IP connection is established. If the system does not
react to one or several requests, ePowerSwitch 8XM can automatically switch the device off and after a
specified delay switch it again on (Reboot function).
Port Scanning:
The second method uses the Port Scan command to test a specific TCP/IP port. In other words, this
command allows you to find out if a specific protocol is available on a server (for example HTTP, FTP,
Telnet, SMTP, POP...). ePowerSwitch 8XM simply tries to connect to a specific server port. If the
connection is possible, ePowerSwitch 8XM knows that a server program is running there. If the connection
is not possible, ePowerSwitch 8XM can automatically switch the device off and after a specified delay
switch it again on (Reboot function).
- The Supervision function works only if the ePowerSwitch 8XM is connected to the LAN.
- The Ping and Scan functions can be used separately or together.
- The network route between ePowerSwitch 8XM and the IP device you wish to supervise should
be as direct as possible, so do not use unnecessary routers and complex wiring between them.
A problem on a router or the wiring could reboot the IP device to supervise.
- Execute several Pings and/or Scans before running the Reboot function. It could be possible
that the IP device doesn't respond although it is still working.
- Choose a realistic supervision cycle. One second is possible, however it's not necessary to
overload the network with Ping and Scan requests.
Recommended values:
- Interval between Requests: 10 sec or more
