3.1 Features
ZCS (Zero Current Switching)
ZCS (Zero Current Switching) function ensures that the relay contact is closed
at the moment of zero voltage and opened at the moment when zero current
flows through it.
Closing and opening at these exact moments has a number of advantages:
The negative effects of inrush current on the lifetime of the relay in the
NETIO device are significantly reduced.
Reduced probability of a circuit breaker tripping in the circuit branch
where the appliance with a high inrush current is connected.
Significantly improved lifetime of switching supplies in appliances that are connected to the
socket (especially in case of frequent switching on and off).
Significantly reduced electromagnetic interference caused by repeated switching on and off.
Zero current switching (ZCS) significantly improves the lifetime of the NETIO device and the
connected end devices. This function is particularly important in case of frequent switching.
Note: ZCS is only for Output 1 and Output 2 (metered and switched power outputs).
IOC (Independent Output Control)
Independent Output Control function of the NETIO device uses an independent
system that ensures a stable operation of the output even if the main system
is being restarted, updated, or is booting.
Thanks to IOC, the controlled output can power devices that, for technical
reasons, must be powered without interruption (such as servers). The output
control is completely independent from the WiFi or LAN communication
subsystem.
PowerUp State
The PowerUp State parameter (sometimes also called Cold start) defines the
behavior of the 110/230V power output during the first milliseconds to seconds
after powering up the device, before the LAN/WiFi communication with a
master system is established.
For some applications, it is important to set the correct state of a power
output immediately after power is turned on (or restored). With servers in
particular it is important to avoid undesired momentary switching.
Possible settings for NETIO device
- On
- Off
- LAST state restores the last state before the power was disconnected

4.3 NFC installation in 60 seconds
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology supported by some mobile phones (and tablets).
Using a mobile phone with NFC support and the NETIO Mobile 2 app, even a device that is powered
off can be configured. The device will apply the new configuration as soon as it is powered on.
For example:
NFC can be used to configure the WiFi connection parameters (network SSID + password) in the
PowerDIN 4PZ. When the PowerDIN 4PZ is powered on, it automatically connects to the
specified WiFi network.
NFC and the mobile app can be used to find out the IP address assigned to the installed WiFi
device.
For authentication NFC config, the existing password to the web administration “admin” account is
used (default “admin” / “admin”).
4.3.1 NETIO Mobile2 for Android
NETIO Mobile2 application is for control NETIO devices
produced after 2016.
Features:
Switch On / Off / Restart each power socket on local
network.
Show power consumption on each power output (if
supported).
Searching NETIO devices in local network
Install NFC enabled NETIO devices

4.4 Detecting and configuring the IP address
If you have followed the instructions in the previous chapter, you know the NETIO device’s IP
address, whether it was assigned by a DHCP server or configured manually. If you forgot the IP
address, or if you have received a pre-configured device, you will need to find out its IP address.
Use Windows based NETIO Discover utility, available for download at http://www.netio-
products.com/en/software/netio-discover.
Depending on your operating system, choose the .exe file (Windows) or the .jar file (Linux or Mac).
To run the .jar file, JAVA RE is needed. It is available at: www.java.com

17
Figure 13 –NETIO Discover web interface
To successfully discover the IP address, the controlling system must be in the same LAN as the
NETIO device.
If the discovered IP address belongs to a different address range than that of your WiFi network, we
recommend resetting the device to factory defaults (see chapter Restoring factory defaults) and
then configuring it according to chapter Configuration and control.
Figure 14 –Discovering and configuring network parameters using NETIO Discover
To change the IP address, click the value in the MAC address column, uncheck Enable DHCP and
specify the IP address, Subnet mask and Default gateway. After applying the settings, NETIO device
will be accessible at the specified address.
Enter the IP address into a web browser or the NETIO Mobile app and log in to the device.
Note: For MAC or Linux users use the NETIO Discover Multiplatform version.
