Introducing the iPoMan 8000
Congratulations on purchasing the iPoMan 8000, an intelligent power man-
agement system. The iPoMan 8000 provides the useful ability of managing
power for any combination of network equipment connected to it. You can
control the power on/off for any device connected to the iPoMan 8000,
manually or remotely, using a console or Ethernet connection. The
iPoMan 8000 comes with eight power outlets, each of which, can be moni-
tored and controlled through the console or web interfaces. You can also use
the front panel to operate the power outlets.
The iPoMan 8000 is also equipped with a console port for connecting an
EMD (Environmental Monitored Device) for sensing temperature and
humidity along with two alarms that can be activated when either of the sen-
sors show unusual values. The iPoMan 8000 is provided with two digital
outputs which you can use for connecting status indicators or digital
switches.
The device is designed to remember the configuration of each outlet and
inlet and is also able to measure the input and output current consumption.

as follows:
1. Current level indicator: Displays the
amount of current being drawn by the con-
nected output device through the power
outlet.
2. Outlet power indicator: Displays the out-
let power status.
–Grey: power off
–Green: power on
3. Remote control indicator: Displays the
remote control status of each outlet.
–Grey: remote control is enabled.
–Red: remote control is disabled.

Using the control buttons
You can turn on power manually for each of the eight output devices with
the control buttons provided under each status indicator A through H. Each
button allows you to set the remote control function as well as turn power
on/off for each outlet manually.
The control button has two modes of operation. Press the button repeatedly
to switch between Remote Control mode and Power On/Off mode. When
you press the control button, the iPoMan 8000 switches modes as follows:
After switching modes, you need to press the control button again within
5 seconds to change the mode status.
Remote control mode
1. Press the control button once. The remote control indicator starts
flashing red.
2. Now press control button again within 5 seconds and hold for more
than 5 seconds. The remote control indicator starts flashing red at a
faster speed and then inverts its original state.
For instance, if remote control indicator is enabled (grey) before you press
the control button, it turns on (red) after step 2, indicating that remote con-
trol is disabled.
Input power status indicator Displays input voltage (Volts), input current
(Ampere), and frequency (Hz), sequentially on
the 7-segment switching display. This indica-
tor also shows system errors in the form of an
error code such E01, E02, E03, and so on.
Refer to “Error codes” on page 27 under the
appendix for a list of all error codes.

Getting started
This section provides information about setting up the iPoMan 8000, con-
necting power, and connecting devices to it before you start using it for
power management. Read this section carefully to learn how to connect var-
ious devices to it.
Attaching the feet
The iPoMan 8000 comes with
four feet or spacers that are
attached to the bottom. Use
the four screws provided with
the feet to attach the feet to
the bottom of the
iPoMan 8000 as shown:
Note: You do not need to attach
the feet if you are going to install
the iPoMan 8000 in a rack.
Attaching the ears
The iPoMan 8000 is
designed to be placed in a
rack arrangement and comes
with two ears that help you
to move the device easily.
Attach each ear with the
three screws provided in
your package as shown:

Making connections
The iPoMan 8000 is a versatile product that can be connected to several dif-
ferent types of input and output devices. This makes it a useful tool for con-
necting devices to it and controlling their power on/off status through its
user interface.
The iPoMan 8000 can be attached to eight output devices whose power sta-
tus can be controlled remotely and manually. It also supports an EMD
(Environmental Monitored Device) or sensors for detecting environmental
conditions as well as digital outputs or devices with normally open or nor-
mally closed conditions. Moreover, the iPoMan 8000 supports a serial (con-
sole) and Ethernet (LAN/WAN) connection that lets you control the
iPoMan 8000 outputs remotely.
The following procedure describes the basic steps needed to set up the
iPoMan 8000:
1. To set up the hardware, connect power to the power inlet and output
devices to the power outlets. Connect digital outputs to the digital I/O
ports, and an EMD to the console port.
Note: The EMD is optional.

Getting started
12 iPoMan 8000
2. To configure the iPoMan 8000, you can use the console or WAN
port. Connect the iPoMan 8000 to a console and a WAN to enable its
configuration through the console or browser menu.
3. After connecting to a console, use a console application such as Tel-
net or HyperTerminal to access the console menu. Select the System
Group submenu under the iPoMan Configuration to set up the IP
address and the system date/time. This IP address will be used while
accessing the web interface to configure the iPoMan 8000 parame-
ters.
4. After connecting to WAN, open a browser from a PC in the network
and use the iPoMan 8000 IP address specified through the console
menu to open the web interface for system configuration.
The following sections provide instructions about how to make various con-
nections.
Connecting input power
The iPoMan 8000 has an IEC C20 power inlet for supplying and managing
power for the output devices. Connect the power cord to the power inlet and
plug the other end into a power outlet as shown:

Getting started
13iPoMan 8000
Connecting output devices
The iPoMan 8000 has eight power outlets for connecting devices such as
workstations, servers, and printers. Their power on/off status can be con-
trolled manually as well as remotely through the LAN and Console ports.
Connect the power connectors of the devices to each of the power outlets A
through H with the power cords supplied with the devices as shown:
Connecting digital outputs
The iPoMan 8000 provides two digital outputs to which you can connect
switches, indicators, or other output devices that are normally open or nor-
mally closed. You can control the digital outputs remotely through the con-
sole or over the LAN.

Getting started
14 iPoMan 8000
Connecting EMD
An environmental monitored device that is connected to sensors for detect-
ing temperature, humidity, water level, and so on can be connected to the
iPoMan 8000 with the console port. The EMD can also be connected to
alarms or indicators and controlled through the iPoMan 8000. Connect the
EMD to the console port as shown:
