Each power outlet can be configured to run Autoping
and reboot. Please use the web interface to complete
the settings.

SNMP AND TRAP (S SERIES)

By default, SNMP agent and TRAP are disabled.
Default community string is “public”. To obtain a
copy of SNMP MIB files, open the device web page.

Down load the MIB file by clicking “get mib file” at

Network Setting” web page.

SAVE/LOAD SETTINGS

Saving and reloading system configuration data file is
done by running a small utility program on a PC. This
operation requires network connection.

 Download “synCfg.exe” by visiting

www.synaccess-net.com/support.php

 Run the program at DOS prompt: “syncfg.exe –h”

FIRMWARE UPGRADING

The system is firmware upgradable via network.
Please contact us or visit our web site for upgrading
instructions and firmware version information.

PROGRAMMING INTERFACING

The unit can be easily managed by using direct TCP or
serial port interfacing.

 Using Telent Port: default port # is 23.

Format: CmdCode,Arg1,Arg2

 For S version, using HTTP/HTTPS

QUICK STARTUP
REFERENCE PART # 1291 V4

For netCommander™ NPC-22 or NPC88 (series S)

How to start:

1) Use a straight-thru Ethernet cable connect
the unit to your network:

By default, DHCP is disabled. The static IP
address is 192.168.1.100. Use a WEB or Telnet
program to configure the unit. The default
ID/Password is admin/admin. If you need to enable
the DHCP, please read “DEFAULT SETTINGS”
section.

2) Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect
to a PC directly:

The static IP address for the unit is 192.168.1.100.
Make sure your PC IP address is on the same
subnet. 192.168.1.x. Use WEB or Telnet program
to configure the unit.

3) Use a serial cable to connect the unit and a PC:

Run a Terminal Program on the PC to configure
the unit. The serial port settings are 9600-8-N-1.
Type command “help” or “?” to view a list of
command.

Command Prefix Symbol:

A control command to the system proceeds with a
prefix letter. The prefix letter must be the first letter on
a line entry. If the conditions are not met, the letters
being typed are forwarded to an active user serial port
without local terminal echo. The default prefix letter
is "/". It may be changed if there is a conflict with
your applications.

Communicating with User Serial Ports:

For both NPC22 and NPC88, communicating to serial
ports are done via system TCP port (default port # is

23) or Master serial port. Send command “/sset n” to

select active serial port.
For NPC22, Open TCP port # 2001 and 2002 for

direct communication. TCP port 2001 and 2002 are
assigned to serial port 1 and 2.

DEFAULT SETTINGS

The system is shipped with factory default settings.
The default settings for the Local Master serial port
are: 9600, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no
hardware handshaking (Flow Control). For the
Ethernet port, DHCP is disabled. Static IP address

192.168.1.100, Submask 255.255.0.0, Gateway

192.168.1.1. The default Administrator’s login ID is

“admin” and password is “admin”. All existing user

accounts are erased if the system is recovered to the
default settings.

If you need to start the system with DHCP enabled, do
the following steps:

 Shutdown the system.
 Use a pin device to press the reset button “Rst” or

“Default” that is located on the font panel.

 Keep press the button while turning the system

power on.

 Continue holding down the button for 3 seconds

after the system powers up.

 Now the system is set to the Default settings and

the DHCP is enabled.

Other default settings include: Telnet and Web
accesses which are enabled. AutoPing and Reboot are
disabled. TCP ports: HTTP/Telnet 80/23. For S
series, HTTPS port: 443.

To restore the factory default settings, you need to
press a push-button switch located on the front panel
for 1 second.

USER PRIVILEGE LEVELS

Administration Login:

There is only one Administration account on the
system. The default name is “admin” and default

password is also “admin”. The default name and

password may be changed. If you login at the
Administration level, you are able to remove and
change existing user accounts, take over power outlets
and change system settings.

User Login:

At the user login level, you can only operate outlets
that reserved for you or the outlets are not reserved for
any one else. You are not able to make any change on
settings.

Anonymous (Visitor) Access:

If you have no account established on the system (as
an anonymous user), you are only able to operate at
terminal programs such as HyperTerm, view some of
the system configuration settings and operate power
outlets that are not reserved.

START CONFIGURATION

Method 1 – Using Serial Port Connection
To access and configure the system from the master

port, you need to connect a RS232 port from your
work station to the Local Master Serial Port on the
unit. Then, run a terminal emulation program (such as
Window’s Hyper Terminal) on your computer.

1) Connect the system’s Local Master Port (DCE)

with a straight DB-9 type cable if your work
station is equipped with a DTE port.

2) At terminal emulation program,. type “help” for

command information.

3) Use command “ip x.x.x.x”, “mask x.x.x.x”, “gw

x.x.x.x” “dhcp on” or “dhcp off” to setup network

connection.

4) Then go to a web browser to start the system

configuration: http://IP_ADDRESS.

Method 2 –Using Ethernet Connection (Static IP)

1) Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the

system to your PC.

2) Make sure your PC is also on the subnet

192.168.1.0.

3) 3) Start Web Browser program:

http://192.168.1.100

Method 3 –Using Ethernet Connection (DHCP IP)
By default DHPC is disabled. If you need to enable it,
please follow the procedures discussed in “DEFAULT
SETTINGS” section.

POWER OUTLET CONTROL

Use Configuration menus (terminal or web) to setup
power port outlet or use the following commands:

/pset n x - turns power outlet on/off. Where “n” is
outlet #; “x” is either “0” (off) or “1” (on).

/rb n – reboots outlet n.
/grb n – reboots outlets assigned to group “n”
/ps 1 – turns all power outlet on.
/ps 0 - turns all power outlet off.
/gps n 0 – turns off outlets assigned to the group n.
/gps n 1 – turns on outlets assigned to the group n.

Note: for NPC22, group “n” is omitted.

USER SERIAL CONSOLE PORT
ACCESS

Command “/sset n”,

where n is the port number.
There are no local echo characters on your terminal
because they are forwarded to user equipment that is
connected to a user console port. It is up to the
connected user equipment how to response to
messages you entered.

For NPC22, use TCP port 2001 and 2002 for
communicating with serial port 1 and 2.

CONTROL VIA EMAILS (S SERIES)

Use the System Setting menus to enable access via
email function and then define email servers (POP3
and SMTP), incoming addresses and outgoing (reply)
email addresses. Using the following format to send
your emails:

Send control command:
In email subject field –

&sysName&username&password&command&

where

“sysName” is the user defined system (device) name;
“username&password” is an existing user account

name and password on the system.
Example: &sysSite2&johnW&myPass&rb 2&

Note. Command Delimiter “&” may be altered. Use
command “help” to see details
