Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1. Introduction
IP Switch is designed to automatically power-cycle either one or both of its outlets
when either;
a) Internet connectivity is lost (resets Router/Modem to restart it), or
b) the network device being monitored is no longer responding in LAN.
It can also be used to:
a) remotely control outlets via instant messaging tool like Google Talk/ Hangouts, or
a Web User Interface.
b) perform scheduled power On / Off / Reset
c) manually control outlets by disabling the UIS (Uninterruptable Internet System)
function
IP Switch is useful where the Internet connection and accessibility to a remote site is
critical. It can be setup so that when the remote Mobile Broadband / Cable / Satellite
/ DSL / T1, etc. connection drops or if the remote router freezes-up, it will auto reset
the router to re-gain connectivity. IP Switch is also useful for:
1. Saving home users the trouble of constantly having to power-cycle their
router to re-gain Internet connectivity.
2. Resetting unresponsive device (for instance IP camera or NAS servers)
which otherwise will be inaccessible from remote.
3. IT Professionals who need to automatically or remotely reset devices
4. Preventing your connection from timing out or going dormant
5. Having devices on an automatic power schedule

Fig.6 Description
Chapter 2: Hardware Setup
IP Switch hardware installation procedure:
Step 1:
Connect the power cord to device and wall
outlet. The two orange LED will light up,
indicating that the individual Outlet is ON.
Press the Orange LED for 2 seconds to
turn the Outlet On / Off.
Step 2:
Connect the power plug to IP Switch
outlet.
NOTE: In order for IP Switch to
maintain continuous Internet
connection or reset your modem/
router, the router power input must
be connected here.

8
Step 3:
Connect LAN cable from your router.
Step 4:
Make sure the Internet LED light is
blinking to show that the internet
connection is ready.
Press and hold the “UIS On/Off” button
(about 2 seconds) to activate internet
protection, which will allow the switch to
auto reset upon loss of connection to the
Target sites (i.e web site addresses or
local IP addresses). This completes the
basic setup.
Chapter 3: Software & Web Setup (For Advanced User)
3.1. Introduction
IP Switch is designed to work without having to install any software (see hardware
setup above). However, for the advanced user, the unit can be customized and
configured for remote access. This gives the user further control over the power
ports.
There are two ways to remotely control the outlets (access from WAN);
a. Using DDNS and Port forwarding, see Section 3.3 or;
b. Using Google Talk/ Hangouts instant messaging tool, see Section 3.4.
3.2. How to Locate & Access IP Switch in LAN
IP Switch comes with a built-in Web User Interface (Web UI) that allows for more
advanced control over the unit. There are two ways of accessing the Web UI in LAN
(i.e. when both IP Switch and PC is connected to the same router).
1. Utility program (available for Windows only)
2. Use a fixed IP (when there’s no DHCP server).
*Note–You can also use any LAN program to locate the WebUI URL for example:
Mac: LANscan https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lanscan/id472226235?mt=12
Windows: Wireshark or Angry IP Scanner

9
3.2.1 Locate IP Switch in LAN using Utility program.
Step 1:
Download the Utility program from
http://3gstore.com/ipswitchupdates and
install.
Once installed Utility will locate and list the
IP Switch units.
NOTE: Utility can only discover the IP
Switch units that are located within the
same LAN or network. Be aware that
certain things such as VPN, antivirus,
admin privileges, etc, can prevent
Utility from locating your device(s).
Utility will show LAN IP if units are
connected to a Router. If you are
connecting to your computer directly,
you will need to manually assign an IP
address to the device via the ‘Network’
tab, as well as manually set an IP for
your computer’s Ethernet adapter.
Step 2:
Click “Launch Web User Interface” to run
Internet Explorer (or your default browser)
and access the IP address of the unit.
A password dialog box will appear.
By default; Username/ password is:
admin/ admin. Press “OK” to proceed.
Step 3:
You will be logged into the IP Switch.
3.2.2 Locate IP Switch in LAN using fixed IP.
By default, the IP Switch should obtain an IP address automatically from your router
using DHCP. If for some reason it does not, press and hold the UIS button for 10
seconds and it will revert to a fixed LAN IP of 192.168.0.100.
To access IP Switch Web interface in this mode:

10
Step 1:
Connect the LAN cable from IP Switch to your PC’s Ethernet port
Step 2:
Assign a fixed IP within the same subnet to your PC. Example: IP address -
192.168.0.20; Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0; Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Step 3:
On your PC, launch a web browser and enter the IP: 192.168.0.100 - Login
username/ password: admin/ admin. You can now change this fixed IP address
to one that you prefer by going to Configuration Settings -> Network.
