ACTION:Select from
None AutoPing not used
On – Latch Upon triggering, ServPower Omni will power on
the assigned outlet and remain so until changed via
the web or telnet/serial interface.
On – Follow Upon triggering, ServPower Omni will power on
the assigned outlet. When the ping response
returns, ServPower Omni will power the off the
outlet
Off – Latch Upon triggering, ServPower Omni will power off
the assigned outlet and remain so until changed via
the web or telnet/serial interface.
Off – Follow Upon triggering, ServPower Omni will power off
the assigned outlet. When the ping response
returns, ServPower Omni will power the outlet on.
Cycle Upon triggering, ServPower Omni will cycle the
power to the assigned outlet. ServPower Omni will
wait the Ping Frequency x Fail Count; if the
response does not return, the power will be recycled
again. This will continue until the ping response
returns or AutoPing is turned off. Make sure your
AutoPing frequency x Fail Count is longer than the
time required to reboot your device.
Cycle Once Upon triggering, ServPower Omni will cycle power
one time. It will not cycle again automatically until
the ping response returns and is lost again.
With AutoPing operational, the ServPower Omni page will display the
current status of this feature. The status will be OK to indicate that
ServPower Omni is receiving responses to the ping, or that the fail counter
has not yet been exceeded. Click on the Status message to see greater
details on the AutoPing status.
If the fail count has been exceeded, the status will change to Triggered.

Notes:
Not issuing a command for 5 seconds will cause the ServPower Omni to hang
up.
The only outlets that a caller has access to are determined by the CLI command
set user outlet.
While prompts and voice responses are being played, the ServPower Omni will
not process DTMF tones. Wait for the status and prompts to complete before
issuing new commands
Address an outlet with a number command before entering a control command
(# or *) if unsure which outlet is being addressed, send the outlet number again.
Factory Default user admin has default PIN 23646. Change to desired PIN if
maintaining this account. Resetting to factory defaults will restore this user and
PIN.
7.3 AutoPing
The AutoPing feature allows ServPower Omni to automatically detect
failed equipment and perform a timed reboot or other power control
function (like turning on an indicator or siren). You set any IP address to
be periodically pinged. When ServPower Omni no longer detects a
response from the address, the programmed power control function is
actuated.
Up to eight IP addresses can be monitored by AutoPing. Each AutoPing
monitor is assigned to an outlet.
PING ADDRESS Enter the IP address of the device to be pinged.
PING FREQUENCY Enter 1 to 999 seconds. The ping will go out to the
selected device this often.
FAIL COUNTER Enter 1-99 times the ping needs to fail consecutively
before the selected action is taken. When the fail count has been reached,
the AutoPing action will be triggered.

7.1 DTMF Control
Models with an internal modem: PS730A-M, PS731A-M, PS732A-M,
PS733A-M, PSE712, PSE714, PSE722, PSE724, can be controlled from
dial up connections using handset dialing tones (touch tones). Use of
DTMF control requires a unique PIN number set for each user. This PIN
is set using the command line interface and must be 4 to 10 digits long.
Program a PIN code of 0 to disable a users ability to use DTMF control.
7.2 DTMF Call Sequence:
1. Dial the phone number connected to the ServPower Omni.
Upon connection a prompt tone will be heard.
2. Enter the PIN followed by the # key. Upon successful entry, a
ready tone will be heard. If no PIN or incorrect PIN is
received, an error tone and new prompt tone will be issued.
After three unsuccessful attempts, the ServPower Omni will
hang up.
3. At the ready tone, enter an outlet number 1-8. The current
status of that outlet will be stated in English: i.e. “one on” or
“six off”.
4. The # key is used to change the state of the outlet. The * key
is used to reboot (or power cycle) the outlet for the time
configured with the CLI command cycle time. The new status
of the outlet is stated. If the * key is used, the ServPower
Omni will also state ‘begin’ to indicate the reboot or cycle has
begun.
5. A new prompt tone will indicate that new commands can be
entered. While a reboot is in progress, additional outlets can
be addressed and commanded.
6. The caller can hang up at any time to disconnect the call. Any
reboots in progress will finish their cycle time as programmed.

If you wish to prevent DHCP or ARP-Ping from altering the IP Address,
also enter the following command
set ipmode static
Changing any of these values will require a reboot of the unit. Type the
command “reboot” as indicated, press the reset pushbutton on the front
panel, or remove and restore all power to the ServPower Omni.
Setting the IP address from a DHCP Server
A DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address (dynamic address)
as well as Subnet Mask and Gateway to the iBoot.
To enable this feature, configure the ServPower Omni with the command
set ipmode dhcp
Then power cycle the ServPower Omni, or enter the command reboot
To find the address of the ServPower Omni you will need to query your
DHCP server and locate the MAC address of the ServPower Omni in the
DHCP server’s IP / MAC table. You can also access the CLI and use the
get network command.
SETTING THE IP ADDRESS USING ARP /PING
The ARP / Ping technique uses a PC running a command line (DOS
Window) to set the IP Address. To set the IP address using ARP, connect
the ServPower Omni to your local network and apply power. The IP
address to be assigned to ServPower Omni must be use the same network
segment as the computer assigning the address. ARP does not work
across routed or switched networks.
To set the IP address using ARP, the hardware (MAC) address must be
known. This address is located on the bottom of the unit. The syntax for
the MAC address is: nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn

WINDOWS (98 AND LATER)
1. Access the ServPower Omni CLI and enter the
set ipmode arp-ping command
2. On a PC, open a DOS window. (Run: Command)
3. Type the following command:
arp -s <IP Address> <MAC Address>
Where <IP Address> is the desired IP address (in dotted decimal) for the
ServPower Omni and the <MAC address> is the MAC Address of the
ServPower Omni. The MAC Address of the ServPower Omni is located
on the rear of the unit.
Example: arp -s 63.211.86.165 00-50-c2-05-01-c1 <enter>
| new IP addr ||---- MAC addr ----|
4. Ping the ServPower Omni to program the IP address into the
ServPower Omni.
Type: ping <IP Address>
Note: If the ping command returns “host not responding” 4 times then the
address has not been programmed properly. Check the IP or MAC
Address for typographical errors. Repeat step 2. If the problem persists,
contact the Black Box Technical Support.
5. Delete the entry from the ARP cache by typing: arp -d <IP Address>
6. Ping the ServPower Omni to confirm that it has been programmed.
If the ServPower Omni fails to respond, repeat steps 2-4 above. If the
problem persists, contact Black Box Tech Support.
Unix, Linux, MAC and others
Consult your systems administrator for information on how to set an IP
Address. The unit should be pinged after the IP Address has been set to
confirm proper operation.

5. Web Operation
5.1 Web Interface
The ServPower Omni web interface provides the easiest means of
operating the outlets and monitoring the current status of the units. One
or more outlets can be simultaneously controlled with simple mouse
clicks. The interface is divided into three sections Header, Control, and
Status.
HEADER The Header identifies the ServPower Omni currently being
addressed. It displays the Device Name assigned to it in setup. Two
buttons on the Header allow control of the ServPower Omni either by
individual outlets, or by user assigned groups.
STATUS The Status panel displays the current state of each outlet, and
provides a checkbox for each outlet to allow for selection for the next
outlet change activity. The bottom of the Status panel shows the current
draw of the A/C inputs. In ServPower Omnis with dual inputs, the current
draw will be displayed separately for outlets 1 – 4 (Main A) and 5-8
(Main B). If AutoPing is being used, the current status of AutoPing is
displayed. Click on the AutoPing status message for more details.
CONTROL The Control panel provides the clickable buttons to cause a
change of outlet condition. Once one or more outlets are selected, click

on the On, Off, or Cycle button. Cycle will perform a timed change in
outlet state (either Reboot for On-Off-On, or Cycle Off-On-Off)
depending on the current state of the outlet.
The Cycle timer box allows selection of the length, in seconds of all cycle
or reboot operations. Entries of 1 to 99 seconds are valid.
The Delay timer box allows selection of the delay between turning on of
each outlet whenever more than one outlet is turned on at the same time.
This can be used to prevent over-current draw on initial power up of
devices. Entries of 0 to 99 seconds are valid.
The Select All and Select None buttons allow selection or de-selection of
all outlets.
Refresh provides an update of the status page to display current outlet
conditions.
Logout terminates the session.
5.2 Outlet Control
To operate any outlet, select it with the checkbox associated with that
outlet and then click the On, Off, or Cycle button as required. The page
will reload with the current status. If multiple outlets are selected, the
page will refresh several times until all outlets have completed their
operation.
5.3 User Privileges
Each user can be assigned one or more outlets and groups of outlets to
manage. The Web interface will only display those outlets that the user
has been authorized for.
5.4 Grouping Outlets
Outlets can be grouped into logical arrangements to provide simultaneous
management. Two outlets can be grouped together to provide control of a
single server with dual redundant power supplies. When powering on
multiple outlets in a group, there will be a delay between outlets, based on
the Delay Time setting. This prevents unwanted current draw. If no delay
is desired set the Delay Time to 0.
