Introduction the iPoMan II-1200
Congratulations on purchasing the iPoMan II-1200, an
intelligent power management system. The iPoMan II-1200 is
designed to measure the input and individual outlet current
consumption and auto email history report to supervisor for
power bill charge. At the same time, the iPoMan II provides the
useful ability of managing power for any combination of
network equipment connected to it. User can control the power
on/off for any device connected to the iPoMan II-1200,
remotely, using a console or Ethernet connections. The iPoMan
II-1200 comes with twelve power outlets, each of which can be
monitored and controlled through the console or web interfaces.
The iPoMan II-1200 is also equipped with a console port for
connecting an EMD (Environmental Monitoring Device) for
sensing temperature and humidity along with two alarms that
can be activated when either of the sensors shows unusual
values. The iPoMan II-1200 is provided with two digital outputs
which users can use for connecting status indicators or digital
switches.

Getting Started
This section provides information about setting up the iPoMan
II-1200, connecting power, and connecting devices to it before
users start using it for power management. Read this section
carefully to learn how to connect various devices to the iPoMan
II-1200.
Attaching the Feet
The iPoMan II-1200 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 II-1200 as
shown:
Note: Users do not need to attach
the feet if users are going to install the iPoMan II-1200 in a rack.
Attaching the Ears
The iPoMan II-1200 is designed to
be placed in a rack arrangement
and comes with two ears
(mounting brackets) that help users
to move the device easily. Attach
each ear with the three screws
provided in the package.
Rack Mounting
The iPoMan II-1200 can be installed in most standard 19” (1U)
racks. After attaching the ears to each side of the device,
position the device in the rack and align the holes in the ears
(mounting brackets) with the hole in the rack. Use the screws
supplied with your racks to tighten the ears (mounting brackets)

to the rack.
Making Connections
The iPoMan II-1200 is a versatile product that can be connected
to several different types of input and output devices. This
makes it a useful tool for connecting devices to it and
controlling their power on/off status through its user interface.
The iPoMan II-1200 can be attached to twelve output devices
whose power status can be controlled remotely. It also supports
an EMD (Environmental Monitoring Device) connecting with
sensors for detecting environmental conditions as well as digital
outputs for enabling devices with normally open or normally
close conditions. Moreover, the iPoMan II-1200 supports a
serial port (console) and Ethernet (LAN/WAN) connection that
lets users control the iPoMan II-1200 outputs remotely.

iPoMan II-1200

The following procedure describes the basic steps needed to set
up the iPoMan II-1200:
1. To set up the hardware, connect power to the power inlet and
output devices to the power outlets. Connect devices with
normally open or normally close conditions to the digital
output ports, and an EMD to the console port.
2. To configure the iPoMan II-1200, users can use the console
or LAN port. Connect the iPoMan II-1200 to a console and a
LAN to enable its configuration through the console or
browser menu.
3. After connecting to a console, use a console application such
as Telnet or HyperTerminal to access the console menu.
Select the System Group submenu under the iPoMan II-
1200 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 II-1200 parameters.
4. After connecting to LAN, open a browser from a PC in the
network and use the iPoMan II-1200’s 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 connections.
Connecting Input Power
The 2-inlet model of the
iPoMan II-1200 has two
IEC C20 power inlets for
supplying and managing
power for the output
devices. The 1-inlet
model has just one inlet
for supplying power to all

iPoMan II-1200
~17~
outlets. For each inlet, connect the power cord to the power inlet
and plug the other end into a power outlet as shown:
Connecting Output Devices
The iPoMan II-1200 has twelve power outlets for connecting
devices such as workstations, servers, and printers. Their power
on/off status can be controlled remotely through the LAN and
Console ports. Connect the power connectors of the devices to
each of the power outlets A through L with the power cords
supplied with the devices as shown:
Connecting Digital Outputs
The iPoMan II-1200 provides two digital outputs to which users
can connect switches, indicators, or other output devices that are
normally open or normally close. Users can control the digital
outputs remotely through the console or over the LAN/WAN.

iPoMan II-1200
~18~
Connecting EMD
An Environmental Monitoring Device (EMD) that is connected
to sensors for detecting temperature, humidity, water leak, and
so on can be connected to the iPoMan II-1200 with the console
port. The EMD can also be connected to alarms or indicators
and controlled through the iPoMan II-1200. Connect the EMD
to the console port as shown:
After connecting to EMD, open a browser from a PC in the
network. The temperature and humidity status is automatically
displayed on the iPoMan II Status page.

iPoMan II-1200
~19~
Connecting the Console
Users can control the
output devices and manage
the power status through a
console or serial connection
with a PC. Use the serial
cable provided in the
iPoMan II-1200 package to
connect the COM port of
the PC and the CONSOLE
port of the iPoMan II-1200
as shown.
Refer to Using the Console Menu on page 23 to learn how to use
the console with a console application such as HyperTerminal or
Telnet.
Connecting to a LAN/WAN
The iPoMan II-1200 has an RJ-45 LAN connection that enables
users to monitor and manage
the power outlets and digital
outputs over the network.
The iPoMan II-1200 has a
graphic user interface that
allows users to control the
device through a web
browser. Connect the
iPoMan II-1200 to a free port
on the router using an
Ethernet cable as shown.
Users can then control the iPoMan II-1200 from PC, laptop,
mobile phone, or PDA which is connected to the router network.
Refer to page 28 for details about how to control the iPoMan II-
1200 and its output devices through the web.

Daisy Chaining
To manage more devices, up to 5 additional iPoMan II-1200s
can be daisy chained to the first unit. Follow instructions below
to set up a daisy chained installation.
1. For each iPoMan II-1200 that you add to the chain, use USB
cables to connect it to the parent iPoMan II-1200’s C-Link Port.
The upper C-Link port( ) of child iPoMan II is connected to
lower C-Link port( ) of its parent iPoMan II and the lower C-
Link port( ) of the lowest level iPoMan II is connected to the
highest level parent’s upper C-Link port( ) to form a
cyclic(ring) structure as illustrated in the following figure.
2. The daisy chained installation can operate in Auto mode or Manual
mode. Use Daisy-chaining Mode DIP Switch (C-link DIP) to set the
operation mode.
Auto mode: For the master iPoMan II-1200, set all the DIP switches
of the C- link to ON by moving all the switches downward; for all the
other iPoMan II-1200s (slave iPoMan IIs) in the Daisy Chain, set all
