Introduction
Overview
Engineered to be an intelligent power distribution solution, the IP Control Box
ships with 4 power outlets in an IEC or NEMA socket configuration. It
provides secure, centralized, intelligent, and remote power management of
data center IT equipment to minimize the operating cost.
The IP Control Box features remote power control function, allowing you to
control devices attached to the PDU at the PDU device level from practically
any location via a TCP/IP connection. The power sequence design eliminates
the risks for a power inrush to guarantee reliable operation and protects the
overall system health. With the support for eco DC software, it provides an
easy method for managing multiple devices, offering an intuitive and user-
friendly Graphical User Interface that allows you to configure a PDU device
and reboot the device in case any equipment lock-up occurs. The
administrators can switch on/off or set a delay time for each power outlet or
individual power outlets group whenever, wherever.
The IP Control Box boasts a slim, compact form factor and supports desk
mount as well as rack mount, ensuring easy installation in confined spaces. It
is a smart power control box tailored for hospitality or retail applications, such
as digital signages and video walls, for edge computing devices, including
routers, servers and cameras, or for any data center environments where there
is no need to keep the servers powered on at all times.

Optional Accessories
Sensors
Sensors are optional accessories. You can use the IP Control Box unit without
sensors. However, if you want to have complete energy management of an
instrumented data center with the use of the IP Control Box, you would need
to use eco DC software and install sensor to generate a complete energy-
efficient data and chart. Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate
more accurate data. A sensor-enabled installation is required to generate a more
complete energy-efficient data and chart. Higher sensor installation density is
helpful to generate more accurate data. Available sensors are show in the table,
below:
Sensor Management
Sensors can be managed via the IP Control Box’s built-in graphical user
interface (GUI) or with the eco DC software that can be downloaded from the
ATEN website.
Cable Holders
Cable holders are optional accessories. For added safety, use ATEN Lok-U-
Plug cable holders to secure the cables from your attached devices in place on
the eco PDU unit. Use only the ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders that have
been specifically designed to work with the eco PDU. Using any other kind of
cable securing device could be highly dangerous. For more information, see
Securing the Cable, page 10.

Rack Mounting
The IP Control Box can be mounted vertically on the outside of the rack and a
few options are available.
Desktop Mount
If you wish to keep your unit on a desktop, attach the foot pads (in the package
content) and place the unit on any appropriate level surface that can safely
support its weight plug the weight of its attached cables.
Using the Rack Mount Ears
The following procedure uses PE4104G as an example to illustrate the
installation.
1. Decide where you would rack mount the unit and choose the place you
would attach the rack mount ear (Position 1, 2, 3, or 4). As an example, we
will choose to attach the rack mount ear shown below (position 3).
Important safety information regarding the placement of this device is
provided on page 63. Please review it before proceeding.

Installation
To set up your IP Control Box installation, refer to the installation diagram and
the procedure below. The PE4104AJ is used as an example to illustrate the
installation.
1. Ground the IP Control Box by connecting one end of a grounding wire to
the grounding terminal and the other end to a suitable grounded object.
Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps prevent damage to the
unit from power surges or static electricity.
2. For each device you want to connect, connect its power cable to any
available outlet on the unit. Optionally, use ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable
holders to secure the cables. For details, see Securing the Cable, page 10.
3. Connect an Internet-enabled LAN cable into the unit’s LAN port.
4. (Optional) To use a temperature sensor, humidity sensor, or pressure
sensor, connect it to the J-11 sensor port.
5. (Optional) To use a door sensor or a leak detector, connect it to the dry-
contact port.

6. Supply the unit with power.
PE4104AJ: plug the power cord to an AC power source.
PE4104G: Use the provided power cord to connect the unit’s power
inlet socket to an AC power source.
7. Power on the connected devices.
Securing the Cable
For added safety, use ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders to secure the cables
from your attached devices in place onto the IP Control Box. Secure the cable
holders using the specially designed holes around the individual power outlets,
as shown below:
Note:
Lok-U-Plug Cable Holders and their Installation Tools are optional and
sold separately. See Cable Holders, page 4.
Use only the ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders that have been specifically
designed to work with the eco PDU. Using any other kind of cable
securing device could be highly dangerous.
