POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - LAN
1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Power Management
System LAN & Surge Protector. Your PMS-LAN is an advanced
surge protector with power management features. Four sockets
are individually manageable by the computer via the LAN interface.
The sockets can be switched on/off by a timer schedule, by
direct user control or by programmable events. It is also possible to
pre-program the unit event timer schedule (hardware schedule)
and then disconnect the PMS-LAN from the managing computer.
The device can be used as an advanced standby-killer.
You can manage your PMS-LAN via the Internet from all over
the world, even from your Smartphone.

The unit can be pre-programmed with a timed schedule. The
schedule will operate even when the managing computer is
switched off or disconnected. A typical application could be:
“switch my peripherals on every working day at 8:50 AM”.
The manageable sockets can also be controlled from the
attached computer Power Manager software to react to a
particular event (e.g. 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”
Real time Voltage monitor provides information about the
actual status of each manageable socket (on or off). This
information can be further utilized in various ways (e.g. to
check the proper execution of the switching commands)
The unit can be assigned a network name as a shared LAN
resource and can be afterwards accessed and managed from
anywhere within the local area network or Internet (provided
the managing computer is switched on)
Surge Protection. Includes resettable circuit breaker.

3. Installation
The device is for internal use only. It is strongly recommended
to avoid damp or wet places for installation.
The PMS-LAN should be connected to a standard UK mains
socket.
3.1. Getting started
Connect 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.
The PMS-LAN can now be switched on and off by means of the
Main rocker switch (Z).
The first and the last sockets of the 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 termed non-manageable sockets
in this manual.
When the PMS-LAN is switched on, the red POWER indicator
illuminates. In this case both non-manageable sockets are now
live and connected to the power supply.

POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - LAN
The sockets: Socket 1, Socket 2, Socket 3 and Socket 4 can
be managed or pre-programmed by computer via the LAN
connection. They are called manageable sockets in this
manual.
The manageable sockets of the 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) (Figure 1 above) is turned off
then the manageable sockets cannot be switched on by either
the Power manager software or the hardware schedule.
When the Main rocker switch (Z) is switched on, the Power
Manager software or the hardware schedule will also be
enabled. The manageable sockets can then be switched 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, the PMS-LAN is equipped with an automatic
circuit breaker.

POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - LAN
Note: If the total power consumption (or peak power) of the
devices, connected to the PMS-LAN exceeds 3 kWatts, the
circuit breaker will automatically disconnect the PMS-LAN from
the mains supply. Remove the excessive load and then press
the Circuit breaker button to restore the power supply (Figure 2
above).
To be able to use PMS-LAN you will now have to complete its
LAN configuration.
3.2. Obtaining an IP address.
Option A –via connection to the LAN (recommended)
Make sure the PMS-LAN is connected to the local network with
the RJ-45 patch cable.
Note: by default the factory setting of PMS-LAN is DHCP enabled. If
your LAN has a router with built-in DHCP server (which is very
common) then PMS-LAN will automatically get an IP address from the
DHCP server. Proceed to section 3.3 below in this case.
Option B –via connection to the managing computer

120430
13
All brands and logos are registered trademarks of their respective owners
POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - LAN
If your LAN does not have DHCP server you may prefer to
connect PMS-LAN directly to the managing computer LAN
adapter (network card) using the supplied crossover RJ-45
cable.
If you choose for option B then the following procedure is
required to let the PMS-LAN obtain a fixed IP address:
Turn PMS-LAN off (with the Main rocker switch Z)
Hold down the IP Config (C) button on the side control panel
(see Figure 2 above) with the tip of a pen and turn the Main
rocker switch Z on. Wait for about 3 seconds until you hear the
sockets switching twice.
This procedure will force the PMS-LAN to reset itself to the
default settings 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

120430

POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - LAN
... PMS-LAN then searches for an IP address from your
eventual DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found within 1
minute, PMS-LAN will then automatically revert to the default
settings (see above, with IP address 192.168.0.254).
3.3. Power Manager installation
It is now time to identify which IP address has been obtained.
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) or directly to the device with
the crossover RJ-45 cable (if you chose option B).
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 the instructions to install the software
Note: Antivirus or firewall software may block connection to the PMS-
LAN. Please, configure antivirus/firewall to permit connection to the IP
address and port of your PMS-LAN.

3.4. IP configuration
The utility Find PMS-LAN (see Figure 4 below) will run
automatically during the software installation but it can also be
started from Start/All Programs/Power Manager. The IP range
where you would like to search for 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.
Note: only PMS-LAN within a local subnet can be found. If your
computer LAN adapter is not in the (default) subnet of PMS-LAN
(as may 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 PMS-
LAN.
For example if you wish to find 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 PMS-LAN
devices will appear in the list box. Select PMS-LAN which you
want to access, and press the Open button (see Figure 4 below).

4. The web server
The PMS-LAN is equipped with a web-server which allows it to be
managed using a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox
etc.
4.1. Web-server login page
To access the web server of PMS-LAN, just open Internet
Explorer (or other browser) and input the IP address of PMS-LAN
(for example http://192.168.1.241). If you have used Find PMS-
LAN utility to locate PMS-LAN then you will be taken to this
webpage automatically. Login page will then be displayed (see
Figure #5 below).

after the first login.
After a successful login you will face the Socket 1 Status page
(see section 4.2 below).
Note: You may then need to open the LAN settings page (see section 4.5
below) to complete the IP configuration.
4.2. EnerGenie page
With the help of EnerGenie page (see Figure 6 below) you will be
able to see the status of all your four manageable sockets, and to
switch the sockets on and off manually. The status of your
sockets, as well as the buttons to switch them on/off are located at
the top of the page.
Note: the names of the sockets can be changed from the default
Socket1/Socket2/Socket3/Socket4 to something meaningful on the page
Socket Name Settings (see section 4.4 below).
The EnerGenie page also allows you to setup access and
management (switch on and off) of your PMS-LAN from anywhere
via Internet even if it does not have an external IP address. To
