FRONT PANEL FEATURES
ROCKER SWITCH - The primary intent is for the iP15 to be controlled via a re-
mote RS232 or Ethernet link. This switch serves as a fail safe control device in the
event a remote RS232 or Ethernet connection is not available or functioning. Mov-
ing this switch to the UP position will cause the iP15 to turn on the three power
PODs in a prescribed timed sequence. The default timing is two seconds between
each POD activation. This timing can be changed by accessing the on board web
server. Moving this switch to the DOWN position will cause the unit to turn off the
POD outlets in the reverse order.
RECESSED SLIDE SWITCH - As a second fail safe control point, this switch can
be used to manually turn on all POD outlets in the unlikely event of failure of the
control circuitry contained in the iP15. This switch will turn on all POD outlets si-
multaneously. When the switch is returned to it’s “off” position the iP15 will revert
to the prior state the unit was in.
NETWORK LED - This LED will light up solid when the iP15 is connected to an
Page 3

Ethernet network connection. It will blink quickly when an Ethernet cable is at-
tached but no network can be found. When no network cable is connected or
when using RS232 the light will blink slowly indicating the unit is powered up.
POD LEDs - As each of the POD duplex receptacles on the back of the iP15
turns on a corresponding LED on the front of the unit will light. Each LED will
turn off when the POD turns off.
BACK PANEL FEATURES
NETWORK (Ethernet) PORT - This RJ45 connector is for connecting to your
PC, router or local area network using a TCP/IP link.
RS232 PORT- This RJ11 connector can be used for remote control of the iP15
via RS232 protocol over distances not to exceed 50 feet.
PODs 1 -3 - There are three duplex receptacles on the back of the iP15. Each
is rated for a maximum twenty amp load and each is controllable to turn on or
off independently of the others. When the on board sequencing process is used
POD 1 will turn on first, followed in order by POD 2 and POD 3. They will turn of
in reverse order using this same process.
UNSWITCHED OUTLET - This single outlet is rated for a maximum load of
fifteen amps on the iP1515 and twenty amps on the iP1520. It will have power
any time the iP device is plugged into a live AC receptacle.

The iP Series Management section is accessible from the top right link named
“Management”. It consists of 4 tabs;
Overview—Which shows the current configuration of the iP15
Network Setup– Where you can configure IP address and other required net-
work settings dependant on your personal network
User Setup– Where you can set the username and password for both the
admin account and user account
Configuration— Which allows you to configure RS232 baud-rate setting and the
Power Cycle feature of POD1.
OVERVIEW
The Overview Tab displays the current settings of the unit and the MAC ad-
dress. This page is useful for retrieving all the information you may need to set
up the iP15 on your network. If you have DHCP enabled, the IP address your
router/DHCP server assigned can be viewed here.
Page 7

NETWORK SETUP
In the above screen capture you can see the network setup tab accessible
when logged in as Admin.
The Enable DHCP is checked by default. This will result in the router or DHCP
server assigning the IP address of the unit which will then be visible on the
OVERVIEW tab.
If you wish to set the IP address manually to conform with your personal net-
work the fields are provided to do this. You must first disable the DHCP check
box and then enter the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and preferred
DNS values in compliance with your local network.
The Listen Port is used for remote access from outside your network. The de-
fault is set to 80. But this can be changed to any port you select that otherwise
is not being used by any other attached system. See page 13 for further details
on the port address and how it relates to remote access.
Page 8

USER SETUP
The user setup tab is where you configure the Admin and User account pass-
words. You can change the username and password on both accounts by typ-
ing in the changes in the corresponding fields. There is a second password field
for both accounts that verifies you typed the password in correctly. If you did
not, an error message will be displayed when trying to save the changes.
Once you have set the desired username/passwords hit the ‘SAVE’ button and
the changes will be made and the unit will reboot. You may hit the Cancel but-
ton if you decide you don’t want the changes and the username/passwords will
remain unchanged.
Only the Admin login has access to the setup and configuration page. This login
should only be used by authorized people as changes can render the unit in an
unusable state if the wrong data is entered. A factory reset would then have to
be applied.
The User account has access to only the POD and Sequence control page.
Multiple Admins and Users can be logged into the device at the same time
which allows uninterrupted operation from multiple locations without the need
for other users to log out first. The commands are processed based on the last
command issued.
