4 Configuration
4.1 DHCP
After switch-on Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001 looks for a DHCP server and requests an available IP address .
Please check the IP address allocated to Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001 in the DHCP server settings to make sure that
the same address is used at every reboot.
4.2 Network settings with GBL_Conf
For changing the network properties manually, the program GBL_Conf.exe is required. This tool is available for free on our
website www.gude.info.
Furthermore GBL_Conf.exe enables you to install firmware updates and to reset Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001 to its
factory settings.
Activate bootloader mode of Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001 and run GBL_Conf.exe. The program will look automatically
for connected devices and will display their network configuration.
If the displayed IP address accords with the factory settings (192.168.0.2), there is either no DHCP server available in the
network or no free IP address could be allocated.
Enter a free IP address and the according netmask in the entry mask, then save these changes by clicking on Program
Device SaveConfig.
Restart the firmware of Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001, so that the changes will take effect. Now click on Search in order
to have the new network configuration displayed.

Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001 Configuration
4.3.3 Configuration - IP ACL
IP Access Control List (IP ACL) acts as an IP filter for your Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001. Wether it is active hosts and
subnets only can contact Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001, if their IP adresses are stated in this IP ACL.
e.g.: „http://192.168.0.1“ or „http://192.168.0.1/24“
If you locked yourself out by mistake, please activate the bootloader mode of Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001, start
Gbl_Conf.exe and deactivate IP ACL.
You can find more information about configuration of IP ACL or have a look at http://www.gude.info/wiki.

Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001, you have to enter the port number behind the IP address of Expert Power Control
1000 / 1001, e.g.: http://192.168.0.2:1720
All changes need a restart of the firmware to get valid.
4.3.4.2 Require HTTP Password
Password protected access can be activated here. In this case, a user and an admin password have to be defined.
Passwords have a maximum lengths of 15 characters.
Administrators are authorized to switch all ports and to modify the settings of Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001 and of all
ports. The username of the admin is “admin”.
Users are authorized to switch all ports but are not allowed to modify the settings of neither Expert Power Control 1000 /
1001 nor the ports. The username of the user is “user”.
If you have forgotten your password, activate the bootloader mode of Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001, start GBL-Conf.
exe and deactivate the password request.
All changes need a restart of the firmware to get valid.

4.3.5 Configuration - SNMP
4.3.5.1 SNMP
To get detailed status information of Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001 SNMP can be used. SNMP communicates via UDP
(port 161) with Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001: You can use SNMP to switch the power ports as well.
Supported SNMP commands:
- SNMPGET: request status information
- SNMPGETNEXT: request the next status information
- SNMPSET: Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001 request change of status
You will need a Network Management System, e.g. HP-Open View, OpenNMS, Nagios etc., or the command line tools of
NET-SNMP to request information of Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001 via SNMP.

11
Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001 Configuration
4.3.5.1.1 SNMP-communities
SNMP authentifies requests by so called communities.
The public community has to be added to SNMP-read-requests and the private community to SNMP write requests. You can
see the SNMP communites like read/write passwords. SNMP v1 and v2 transmit the communities without encryption.
Therefore it is simple to spy out these communities. We recommend to use a DMZ or IP ACL.
4.3.5.1.2 MIB
All information, that can be requested or changed, the so called „Managed Objects“, are descripted in „Management
Information Bases“ (MIBs).
There are three MIBs, which can be requested from Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001:
„system“, „interface“ and „powerports“
„system“ and „interface“ are standardised MIBs (MIB-II).
„powerports“ (GUDEADS-EPC-MIB::gadsEPC) was created especially for Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001.
At least, there are so called Object Identifiers (OID) subordinated to those three structures. An OID describes the location of
an information inside a MIB.
4.3.5.1.3 SNMP-traps
SNMP-Traps are system messages, sent via SNMP-protocol to different clients. On following events, Expert Power Control
1000 / 1001 will dispatch a SNMP-Trap:
Switching of the Power Ports
Min/Max-Alerts from the sensors
You can find more information about configuration of SNMP at http://www.gude.info/wiki.
4.3.5.2 Enable SNMP-get
Here you can activate SNMP-get protocol of Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001.
Use SNMP only if your network is fitted for.
4.3.5.3 Community public
Here you can enter the SNMP public community.
Use SNMP only if your network is fitted for.
4.3.5.4 Enable SNMP-set
Here you can activate SNMP-set protocol of Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001.
Use SNMP only if your network is fitted for.
4.3.5.5 Community private
Here you can enter the SNMP private community.
Use SNMP only if your network is fitted for.
4.3.5.6 Download SNMP MIB
Here you can download the MIBs of Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001.
Use SNMP only if your network is fitted for.

4.3.6 Configuration - SNMP Trap Receiver List
4.3.6.1 Enable Traps
Here you can activate SNMP-traps. if enabled, Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001 will dispatch SNMP-traps to all receivers
listed. Receivers have to be listed as follows: IP address (and, if necessary the HTTP port), e.g.: 192.168.0.2:8000
Use SNMP only if your network is fitted for.
4.3.6.2 Trap Version
Here you can choose between SNMP-traps standard v1 and v2c.
Use SNMP only if your network is fitted for.
More information about the SNMP functions of Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001, you can find in chapter SNMP, on http://
www.gude.info/wiki or ask our support team.
4.3.7 Configuration - Syslog
Syslog messages are simple text messages transmitted to a syslog server using UDP.
Linux OS regularly have a syslog daemon installed, e.g. syslog-ng. For Windows there are some freeware tools available.
On following events, Expert Power Control 1000 / 1001 will send a syslog message:
- Booting up
- Activation/deactivation of syslog
- Switching of Power Ports
You can find more information about configuration of Syslog in chapter Configuration - Syslog or have a look at http://www.
