Description
1.3
The Expert Power Control (EPC) 8090 is a switchable power distribution unit, that can remote switch
other devices in the power grid. The EOC8090 has the following features:
·Switching of 8 load outputs (230V, 10A).
·Connects to an external sensor to measure temperature values.
·Control and monitor the device via Ethernet with an integrated web server and SNMP (v1 and v2c).

6
Expert Power Control 8090 GSM Device Description
·The device has a built-in GSM modem, which allows the control of the device. One can thus control
the EPC8090 via SMS, Data Call and Voice Call with DTMF tones.
·When switching the relays and reaching the limits of the external sensor, messages are generated.
These messages can be sent by e-mail, syslog, SNMP traps and SMS.

Expert Power Control 8090 GSM Device Description
13. 8 x Load outputs (IEC C13, max. 16A)
Start-up the device
·Connect the power cord of the unit to the mains supply.
·Plug the network cable into the Ethernet connector (RJ45).
Status LED
1.5
The Status LED shows different states of the device:
·red: Device is not connected to the Ethernet
·orange: Device is connected to the Ethernet, TCP/IP settings are not allocated
·green: Device is connected to the Ethernet, TCP/IP settings allocated
·periodic blinking: Device is in Bootloader mode.
The GSM status LED describes the reception situation of the GSM module:
·off: The GSM module is switched off.
·red: The GSM module is switched on but has no GSM reception.
·flashing red: The module has poor reception.
·flashing orange: The module has moderate reception.
·flashing green: The module has good reception.
There are three LEDs mounted on the device (traffic light) that show the load condition in addition to
the website:
green: Less than 10A is flowing through the power strip.
Yellow: The load on the device is between 10A and 14A.
flashing red: There is more than 14A load connected.
Bootloader Mode
1.6
Certain actions can, for safety reasons, only be carried out if the device is in bootloader mode. The
following operations are possible only in Bootloader Mode:
·Firmware Update
·Configuration with GBL_Conf.exe
·Factory Reset
Activation of the Bootloader Mode
via push button:
·Hold both buttons for 3 seconds (only if the device has 2 buttons)
or
·Remove the power supply

8
Expert Power Control 8090 GSM Device Description
·Hold down the button (or the "Select" button for devices with 2 buttons). If the push button is re-
cessed, use a pin or paper clip
·Connect the operating voltage
by Software: (only if "Enable FW to BL" was previously activated in GBL_Conf.exe)
·Start GBL_Conf.exe
·Do a network search with the "Search" menu action
·Activate in menu "Program Device" the item "Enter Bootloader"
Whether the device is in bootloader mode, is indicated by the flashing of the status LED, or it is
shown in GBL_Conf.exe, after a renewed device search, with the appendix "BOOT-LDR" after the
device name. In bootloader mode the program GBL_Conf.exe can disable the password and the IP
ACL, perform a firmware update, and restore the factory settings.
Activation of the bootloader mode and an abandonment of the bootloader does not change
the state of the power or output ports as long as the supply voltage is maintained.
Abandonment of the Bootloader Mode
via push button:
·Hold both buttons for 3 seconds (only if the device has 2 buttons)
or
·Remove and connect the power supply without operating a button
by Software:
·Start GBL_Conf.exe
·Do a network search with the "Search" menu action
·In menu "Program Device" activate the item "Enter Firmware"
Factory Reset
If the device is in bootloader mode, it can always be put back to its factory default. All TCP / IP set-
tings are reset in this operation.
via push button:
·Activate the Bootloader Mode of the device
·Hold down the button (or the "Select" button for devices with 2 buttons) for 6 seconds. If the push
button is recessed, use a pin or paper clip
·The status LED will blink in a fast rhythm, please wait until the LED blinks slowly (about 5 seconds)
by Software:
·Activate the Bootloader Mode of the device
·Start GBL_Conf.exe
·In menu "Program Device" activate the item "Reset to Fab Settings"
·The status LED will blink in a fast rhythm, please wait until the LED blinks slowly (about 5 seconds)

Firmware-Update
1.7
To perform a firmware update, the program GBL_Conf.exe and the latest firmware is needed.
Enable the bootloader mode (see Chapter Bootloader Mode)
Start GBL_Conf.exe
Select the device for which a firmware update is to be performed
Click "Program Device" and then select there "Firmware Update"
Specify the firmware file that should be uploaded
Upon completion of the update process, please start the new firmware of the device. You can do this
by simply leaving the bootloader mode.
A firmware update, unlike other functions, is not sent as a network broadcast. Therefore, the device
must have a valid IP address and a valid netmask before the firmware update. If necessary, please
correct the entries in GBL_Conf.exe in bootloader mode and save them with "Save Config".
If after a firmware update, the web page is not displayed correctly anymore, this may be related to the
interaction of Javascript with an outdated browser cache. Not always helps a Ctrl-F5, it is recommen-
ded that you manually delete the cache in the browser options. Alternatively, you can test start the
browser in "private mode".
