2.2 Powering IQTS-IP200 On
Once you plug your IQsocket IQTS-IP200 into a live electric socket, it become
powered on and starts operation.
You can verify it by observing status of the LEDs:
Once AC power is connected, all three LED indicators will blink shortly
and internal self-test is performed. Then, if everything is ok, the Power
LED (Red) will blink every second.
LINK/ACT (Green) –solid light indicated established Ethernet link,
blanked for short time when an Ethernet activity occurs
The Output LED (Yellow) indicates state of output socket. Sold light
means socket is active –appliance plugged into the output socket is
operating and vice versa.
Please see chapter 3.5 for more information on LED indicators.
Your IQTS-IP200 is now ready for use.

3Managing IQTS-IP200
This chapter guides you through management and configuration of IQTS-IP200.
Your IQsocket IQTS-IP200 is equipped with an internal web server, which
provides an easy to use, intuitive and convenient way of management. You can
both set up configuration and operation parameters and get information about
device’s status. There is also support for SNMP protocol, allowing to integrate
your IQTS-IP200 into any SNMP management suite.
In order to access the web interface, it is necessary to setup IP network
address on your PC properly.
3.1 Setting IP addresses
Default IP address of the IQsocket IQTS-IP200 is 192.168.0.100, network
mask 255.255.255.0.
In order to access your IQTS-IP200, it is necessary to setup IP address of your
computer, connected to the same Ethernet network as the IQTS-IP200
properly –in this case set the IP address of the network adapter to
192.168.11, mask 255.255.255.0.
You can also change the IP address of your IQTS-IP200 using IQLocator utility,
see chapter 3.5 for more information.
3.2 Managing by web browser
Once you have properly set IP address of your PC, open the address of your
IQTS-IP200 (default 192.168.0.100) in your favorite internet browser:
If everything is ok, status page will be displayed.

Explanation of parameters:

©2015 IQtronic technologies Europe s.r.o.
Page 11 of 36
IP address
You can setup IP networking parameters such as IP address, Network mask
Default Gateway, DNS servers; please ensure to enter proper values. Please
note it is necessary to define a fixed IP address even if case you are using a
DHCP environment.
Note…
When your local network is using private addresses behind
a NAT router and you would like to make your IQTS-IP200
accessible from the Internet, it is necessary to setup port
mapping (forwarding, server rule) in your router for the IP
address assigned to IQTS-IP200 and selected ports, e.g.
port TCP 80 for accessing web interface.
SOHO example: Your network contains a modem/router with NAT for internet
access, having IP address 192.168.1.254. Simply find an unused IP address
from the private network range it use (192.168.1.1-192.168.1.253) e.g.
192.168.1.200, double check it is not used e.g. by using Ping command from
your PC:
C:\>ping 192.168.1.200
Pinging 192.168.1.200 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Then assign the 192.168.1.200 to the IQTS-IP200 by either IQLocator utility or
by web interface and use address of the router (192.168.1.254) in both
Gateway and DNS fields.
NTP setup
IQTS-IP200 can synchronize its clock from an NTP (Network Time Protocol)
server, please don’t forget also to define time zone. Please note NTP feature
will work only if IQTS-IP200 will have access to the Internet.
Note…
It is highly recommended define NTP properly and allow
your IQTS-IP200 accessing the Internet; otherwise
logging and scheduler feature can’t work properly.

Password protection
You can change/define a login username and password for protecting access to
web interface. It comes with no password by default.
Note…
If you want to disable password protection, enter blank
login password.
You can also activate exception from password protection for pages status.xml
and/or status/html –when exceptions are active, those pages will be then
always available without password, which is useful for further processing of the
status information e.g. by scripts.
HTTP port
It is possible to change port for the web interface from default value 80 by
entering new value to HTTP port field.
SNMP
SNMP can be deactivated by unchecking the SNMP checkbox, it is active by
default. You can change passwords for SNMP read and write communities
(default value is “public”). When there is an output control event resulting from
assessment of automatic packet loss rules –the watchdog feature; IQTS-IP200
can send SNMP trap messages to defined IP address besides operating the
relay of the socket, simply check particular check boxes Relay and/or Send
TRAP.
The SNMP time for restart defines how long is socket turned off when restart
command is issued via SNMP.
Add log events
You can select, which events to write into the event log: Power UP will write
event at every device startup and time has been successfully synchronized
from NTP server; Ethernet LINK will write event at every time when Ethernet
link has been established.
Output socket state after startup
You can choice which state will have output socket after device will be powered
on: to be off, on, or to remember last state before device has been turned
off/power has been lost.

3.2.3 Test rules –watchdog function
You can configure here automatic watch dog function based on assessment of
ICMP packet lost to selected IP host:
Basically, you can define up to three test rules, two with numerical IP address
of evaluated host, third rule can be defined using host name, and it’s IP
address will be resolved via DNS. Each rule is sending periodically ICMP test
packets to the host and when number of received ICMP replies is lower than
allowed packet loss, rule will generate request for output control event, which
can lead to restart of the output socket, sending of SNMP trap or both,
depending on configuration. Finally, output control event is performed using

©2015 IQtronic technologies Europe s.r.o.
Page 14 of 36
logical OR or logical AND operations over the results (output control event
requests) of particular rules.
Defining rules
Each rule can be enabled or disabled by checking the checkbox. Enter IP
address (Rule 1, Rule 2) or host name in case of the Rule 3, then size of ICMP
frames, maximum allowed packet loss in % and Packet timeout interval, time
how long will device wait for answers from the host –ICMP answers coming
later that the Packet timeout will be considered as lost.
Note…
If you set Packet timeout to 0 (zero) value, device will use
the value of Interval for send test packet as the Packet
timeout interval.
Rules evaluation
You can define periodicity of sending test ICMP packets by entering it into
Interval for send test packet field with allowed range 2-20 seconds.
Interval for next test is time delay till testing will begin after device has been
started up or a rule has been activated (packet loss to a host detected).
You can limit maximum number of consecutive restart attempts by setting
Maximum consecutive restarts parameter to prevent continuous restarting e.g.
if there is a serious problem preventing target host to be recovered back by a
restart via power cycling.
Hold restart for - defines time interval (10-600s) for waiting to connection
recovery. If also this (interval, delay) expires, output socket will be restarted.
It is also possible to cancel (this)
action by SNMP packet.

Page 15 of 36
Restart socket hold time determines time interval how long is cut power of the
output socket during a restart attempt.
Number of packets to evaluate represents how many test packets is used for
evaluation of packet loss.
Rules evaluation allows to choose when an output control event (restart and/or
SNMP trap) will be performed –in case of selected OR, it will be performed
when ANY from rules is positive; while AND require that ALL rules must be
positive.

Diagram of rules evaluation
All referenced values come from Test rules settings page. Request means
testing ICMP packets sent to the target host; response means received ICMP
answers from the target host.

Page 20 of 36
Manual control
Simply click to the buttons to turn on, turn off and restart (change current
state to opposite one temporary for given number of seconds).
Scheduler
This feature allows you to schedule output socket status, up to 50 records are
supported.
Scheduler function use date/time synchronized by NTP protocol, so your IQTS-
IP200 must have access to the Internet (or to an NTP server located within
your private network), see also chapter 3.2.2.
Each scheduler record defines target socket state at given time. It is allowed to
manually control the socket while scheduler is active –each change is done
only at particular time.
Each scheduler record is having following structure:
DOW,…DOW,HH:MM, action
Where:
oDOW means Day of week, coded as first two letters of English day
names: Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr, Sa, Su;
oHH:MM means time in form of hour:minute in 24h format;
oAction means target socket state –off, on.
Example
Enter following rows:
Mo,Tu,We,Th,Fr,Sa,Su,20:00,Off by clicking to Save button
Mo,Tu,We,Th,Fr,Sa,Su,21:00,On by clicking to Save button
and then activate scheduler by clicking to checkbox Enable scheduler
