1. Introduction
Congratulations with your purchase of this Programmable LAN
Surge protector. Your EG-PMS-LAN is an advanced surge protector with
power management features. Four sockets are individually manageable
via the LAN interface.
The sockets can be switched on/off by a timer schedule, by user or
different events. It is also possible to pre-program the unit event timer
schedule (hardware schedule) and then disconnect EG-PMS-LAN from
LAN and use it elsewhere. The device can be used as an advanced
standby-killer.
With your free personal user account at EnerGenie.com you can
manage your EG-PMS-LAN via the Internet from all over the world, even
from your Smartphone.
1.1. Features
The main rocker switch enables switching all the sockets on and off
In addition to it every manageable socket can be switched on and off
via the software control window or web browser
The unit can be pre-programmed via hardware-based schedule. The

The unit will keep performing the programmed hardware time
schedule even after EG-PMS-LAN is disconnected from the power
for some time
The manageable sockets can then be switched on and off by the
schedule, simple typical applications could be: “switch my
peripherals on every working day at 8:50 AM” etc
The manageable sockets can also be programmed with Power
Manager software to react whenever a certain event occurs
(Windows or other programs start-up/shutdown), simple typical
applications could be: “switch my scanner on when I want to scan”
or “switch my printer off whenever I exit Windows”
LAN interface: the unit can be assigned an IP address and/or a
network name as a shared LAN resource and can be afterwards
accessed and managed from anywhere within the local area network
or Internet
Built-in web-server: EG-PMS-LAN can be managed from any
computer running Internet Explorer or any other web browser –
therefore a global access is possible
No external IP-address at home? Create your own user account at
EnerGenie.com to manage your EG-PMS-LAN via the Internet with
any PC or smartphone. Switching on your coffee machine before
setting off for home becomes a reality.

3. Installation
It is strongly recommended to avoid damp or wet places for
installation.
EG-PMS-LAN should be connected to the European AC wall socket
of the standard DIN 49 440.
3.1. Getting started
Connect EG-PMS-LAN to the wall socket first and then to the LAN
socket (or your computer LAN card) with the provided patch cord or
vice-versa.
EG-PMS-LAN can now be switched on and off by means of the Main
rocker switch (Z).
Two (the first and the last) sockets of EG-PMS-LAN are marked with
the symbol . These two sockets are switched on and off by
means of the Main rocker switch (Z) and cannot be managed by the
computer – so they are called non-manageable sockets in this
manual.
If EG-PMS-LAN is switched on then the red indicator POWER is lit.
In this case both non-manageable sockets are now live and
connected to the power supply.

13

The sockets: Socket 1, Socket 2, Socket 3 and Socket 4 can be
managed or pre-programmed by computer via LAN. They are called
manageable sockets in this manual.
The manageable sockets of EG-PMS-LAN can be programmed to
be on or off. The current status of each manageable socket is
represented by the corresponding indicator which will be lit if socket
has power to it.
If the Main rocker switch (Z) (see Figure #1 above) is turned off then
the manageable sockets cannot be switched on by either web server,
Power manager software or the hardware schedule.
As soon as you turn the Main rocker switch (Z) on then the web
server, Power manager software or the hardware schedule will be
able to turn the manageable sockets on and off.
Master switch button (B) (see Figure #2 above) can also switch all
the manageable sockets on and off regardless of their current status
or schedule that is being executed. To switch them on you should
keep the button pressed for 1-2 seconds. To switch them off you
should keep the button pressed for more than 3 seconds.
To protect the connected devices from possible high current and
short circuit EG-PMS-LAN is equipped with the automatic circuit
breaker.
NOTE: If the total power consumption (or peak power) of the
devices, connected to EG-PMS-LAN exceeds 2200 Watts, the circuit
breaker may power EG-PMS-LAN off. In this case, please, remove

the excessive load first and then press the Circuit breaker button to
restore the power supply (see Figure #3 above).
To be able to use EG-PMS-LAN you will now have to complete its
LAN configuration.
3.2. Preparing LAN configuration of EG-PMS-LAN
Before configuring EG-PMS-LAN hardware settings, please, let it
obtain its IP address. Follow the steps below:
Make sure EG-PMS-LAN is connected to the local network with the
provided RJ-45 cable (option A - recommended)
NOTE: by default the factory setting of EG-PMS-LAN is DHCP enabled.
If your LAN has a router with built-in DHCP server (which is very
common) then EG-PMS-LAN will automatically get an IP address from
the DHCP server. Proceed to section 3.3 below in this case.
NOTE: you may prefer to connect EG-PMS-LAN directly to the
managing computer LAN adapter (network card) using the supplied
crossover RJ-45 cable (option B). You might need to use this option if
your LAN does not have DHCP server.

15
EG-PMS-LAN PROGRAMMABLE LAN
SURGE PROTECTOR
All brands and logos are registered trademarks of their respective owners
If you choose for option B then the following procedure is required to let
EG-PMS-LAN obtain a fixed IP address:
Turn EG-PMS-LAN on (with the Main rocker switch Z)
Press IP Config (C) button on the side control panel (see Figure #2
above) with the tip of a pen
While holding it pressed, press and release Reset (A) button and
wait for about 3 seconds until you hear the sockets switching twice
The above-mentioned procedure forces EG-PMS-LAN to reset itself
to the default settings (see below) ...
IP: 192.168.0.254
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS:0.0.0.0
DHCP: enabled
IP filtering: disabled
Power Manager client port: 5000
... EG-PMS-LAN then searches for an IP address from your eventual
DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found within 1 minute, EG-PMS-LAN
will then automatically revert to the default settings (see above, with IP:
192.168.0.254).

3.3. Power Manager installation
It is now time to identify which IP address has been obtained by EG-
PMS-LAN. We need to carry out the following:
Insert the Power Manager CD into a PC CD-ROM drive. This PC
can be connected either to the same LAN where the device is (if you
chose option A section 3.2) or directly to the device with the
crossover RJ-45 cable (if you chose option B section 3.2)
If for any reason the automatic setup does not work, then open CD-
ROM drive in the My Computer window and launch SETUP.EXE
from the CD
Follow instructions of the installation software
NOTE: Antivirus or firewall software may block connection to EG-
PMS-LAN. Please, configure antivirus/firewall to permit connection to
the IP address and port of your EG-PMS-LAN
3.4. IP configuration
The utility Find EG-PMS-LAN (see Figure #4 below) will run
automatically during the software installation but it can also be started
from Start/All Programs/Gembird/Power Manager. The IP range where
you would like to search for EG-PMS-LAN will be set automatically
according to the IP settings of your LAN adapter but can be changed
manually in the Adapter subnet fields. Now press the Search button.

17
EG-PMS-LAN PROGRAMMABLE LAN
SURGE PROTECTOR

NOTE: only EG-PMS-LAN within a local subnet can be found. If your
computer LAN adapter is not in the (default) subnet of EG-PMS-LAN (as
might probably be the case if you chose option B section 3.2) you will
have to change its IP address manually to be able to find EG-PMS-LAN.
For example if you wish to find EG-PMS-LAN (with the default IP
192.168.0.254), the IP address of your computer should be set as
192.168.0.XXX (where XXX stands for any digit, for example 1) and the
subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0.
After the searching the IP addresses of the found EG-PMS-LAN
devices will appear in the list box. Select EG-PMS-LAN which you want
to access, and press the Open button (see Figure #4 below).
