You may manually set the IP Power’s internal clock by specifying the year, month,
day, hour, minutes and seconds.
Alternately, you may choose to synchronize with an NTP server by entering its IP
address and your numeric Time Zone (relative to UTC). If your network or ISP
doesn’t have an NTP server, lists of public NTP servers are available on the web.
W ke on LAN (WOL)
Through its network port, the IP Power can send a Wake on LAN packet to a
shutdown or hibernating PC on your network, causing it to power up. This facility
presumes:
1. The PC’s motherboard must support the WOL function, and it must be enabled
in the BIOS (typically under Power Management). The PC must be connected to
the same Ethernet network as the IP Power via its network port.
2. The PC’s network card’s WOL connector must be connected to the
motherboard, or the network port must be integrated into the motherboard.
After setting up the motherboard and network card, use the WOL function by
following two steps:
• Go to Netw rk Wakeup on the IP Power control web
pages
• Enter the MAC address (the network card’s physical
address) of the PC and click Send – the PC will be powered on

• Click Br wse and locate the firmware update file. Click Update to begin the
update
Note
When the update is complete, ou must w it t le st one minute before ou restart the IP Power
7. DDNS Settings
When connecting to the Internet, the IP address you gain from ISP may be
dynamically allocated, so it may change each time the Internet connection
reconnects. This may result in the IP Power becoming uncontactable to remote
clients, as the new address is unknown.
Dynamic DNS addresses this issue by updating DNS records whenever the IP address
changes. The IP Power can utilize the free service provided by DynDNS
(http://www.dyndns.com) for this purpose. The IP Power will always be contactable
using its DynDNS address (e.g. ippower.dyndns.org), regardless of its IP address.
_____________________________________________________________________________
IP POWER PAGE 20 OF 32
First, create a DynDNS account and create an account. Create a dynamic DNS host
for the IP Power, e.g. ippower.dyndns.org.
On the IP Power, select DDNS from the left
hand menu. Enter the IP address and port
of the DynDNS server. You can find this out
on your PC by selecting Start  Run  then
type in cmd  and typing ping
www dyndns com. Enter the number in
brackets (e.g. 63 208 196 66) followed by
:80 to denote the port.
In Y ur D main, enter the IP Power’s
DynDNS address, e.g. ippower dyndns org.
Enter the Username and Passw rd for the
DynDNS account you created. Ensure
Enable DDNS is set to TRUE Click Save.
Now, each time the IP Power is powered on or Update N w is clicked, the DynDNS
address will be updated to the IP Power’s current IP address. Note that the change
may take several minutes to propagate to your local DNS server.
If the IP Power cannot reach the DynDNS server without going through a proxy
server, select TRUE next to Pr xy Enable. Enter the IP address of the proxy server in
Pr xy IP and the port in Pr xy P rt.
NOTE
The first time ou configure DDNS, click Upd te Now to set the D nDNS address.
8. Control Using Telnet, HTTP & SNMP Comm nds
The IP Power is a principally a browser controlled unit, with power control effected
over the LAN using HTTP commands or a browser. However it also provides
alternate methods for directly setting and getting the status of the power outlets
through Telnet commands and HTTP commands (which may be useful for
controlling the IP Power’s outlets using an automated script) and through SMNP.
P wer utlet status and c ntr l using HTTP c mmands
The format of the HTTP command is:

_____________________________________________________________________________
IP POWER PAGE 21 OF 32
http://username:password@a.b.c.d/Set.cmd?CMD=command+outlet_id=1/0+out
let_id=1/0
Where:
username The username you use to login to the IP Power (default is admin)
password The password you use to login to the IP Power (default is 12345678)
a b c d The IP address of the IP Power (default is 192 168 0 50)
command GetPower to read the status (specifying outlets is not required)
SetPower to turn on or off the ports (power setting for each outlet must
be specified after the command)
port_id (SetPower only)
P60 Port 1
P61 Port 2
P62 Port 3
P63 Port 4
Example 1:
The HTTP command:
ttp://admin:12345678@192.168.0. 50/Set.cmd?CMD=GetPower
Returns the power status for each outlet in the following format (outlets 5 to may
be ignored):
<html>P60=0,P61=0,P62=0,P63=0,P64=0,P65=0,P66=0,P67=0</html>
In the above example, all outlets are off.
Example 2:
The HTTP command:
ttp://admin:12345678@192.168.0.50/Set.cmd?CMD=SetPower+P60=1+P61=0+P
62=0+P63=1
_____________________________________________________________________________
IP POWER PAGE 22 OF 32
Turns the power on for the first (P60) and fourth (P63) outlets, and turns power off
for the second (P61) and third (P62) outlets. Returns the power status for each
outlet in the following format:
<html>P60=1,P61=0,P62=0,P63=1</html?>
Example 3:
The HTTP command: to control the 925 operation at a specified time
ttp://username:[e-mail]/Set.cmd?CMD=SetSc edule+Powe
r
=**+YY=****+MM=**+DD=**+HH=**+MN=**+SS=**+PARAM=****+ONOFF=*
Where:
Control parameters are 1A 1B 2A 2B 3A 3B 4A 4B.
A = connect power
B = disconnect power
YY=****+MM=**+DD=**+HH=**+MN=**+SS=* : time parameter
YY: year (20YY), 01 = 2001
MM: month (0 1-12)
DD: date (01-31)
HH: hour (24 hours: 0- 23)
MN: minute (1-60)
SS: second (1-60)
PARAM=*: time schedule parameter. Parameter list as follows:
12 Once only
127 Every day
31 Week days (Monday to Friday)
96 Weekend days (Saturday and Sunday)
ONOFF=*: operate parameter
0 open

For example:

_____________________________________________________________________________
IP POWER PAGE 23 OF 32
ttp://
/admin:12345678@192.168.1.10/Set.cmd?CMD=SetSc edule+Power=1A+YY=200
9+MM=02+DD=16+HH=06+MN=02+SS=16+PARAM=128+ONOFF=1
The above command controls the IP Power at IP address 192.168.1.0, user name is
admin and password is 12345678. This 925 will connect power of outlet 1 (p60),
once only on 16
th
February 2009 at 6:02 am
NOTE
Use + to separate each parameter, e.g. to simpl power on outlet 1:
http://admin:12345678@192 168 1 10/Set cmd?CMD=SetPower+P60=1
The command s ntax is case sensitive so be selective when using upper and lower case in
command format. The free tool wget is useful for sending these HTTP commands. For example,
to send the command in Example 1, ou could use:
wget –O -
http://admin:12345678@192 168 0 50/Set cmd?CMD=SetPower+P60=1+P61=0+P62=0+P63=1
Power outlet st tus nd control using Telnet

If the power is on the outlet will turn “OFF to ON “ when the power cycle command
is placed. However if powered off the outlet will turn “ON to OFF to ON “ when
place power cycle command
9. Frequently Asked Question
Q1: I forgot the password and can not enter the administration page now, what can I
do?
A1: Use the username super user when logging in to the webpage and then click OK.
Turn the IP Power off for a few seconds, the turn it back on. The default username
of admin and password of 12345678 will be restored. Note: there is a space
between super and user
10. M nu l Control Mode
The IP Power is generally controlled from a local or remote computer however the
outlets can also be controlled manually.
NOTE
Before using the m nu l control function it is necess ry to UNPLUG / DISCONNECT ll of
the 4 outlets.
To obtain manual control:
_____________________________________________________________________________
IP POWER PAGE 28 OF 32
• Press and hold the ON/OFF button (depicted below) for a full 5 seconds or until
a sustained beep noise is heard – this enables manual c ntr l m de which can
be identified by the flashing outlet lights
• The outlet light that is not flashing is the one currently under manual control –
this outlet can be turned on or off by pressing the ON/OFF button
• To select an alternate outlet to control, press the Cycle button (labeled with a
circle with arrows on it)
• To disable manual control mode, press and hold the ON/OFF button for 5
seconds or until you can hear a sustained beep noise – signifying the
deactivation of manual control mode
Cycle (left): Select power outlet to manually control
ON/OFF (right): Press and hold to enable/disable manual control mode,
press to turn on/off the outlet selected by the cycle button
11. IP Power Control Using Console Server
The IP Power 925 is a simple browser controlled power switch, without the security
features needed for open public network connection. Nor does it have any remote
out-of-band dial-in support.
However the IP Power can be configured securely and its outlets can be controlled
in-band and out of band when used in conjunction with an Opengear console server.
Out of b nd ccess
The Opengear console server provides secure remote/out-of-band access through a
dial in modem (or through an alternate broadband connection). To configure the
console server for dial-in access:

_____________________________________________________________________________
IP POWER PAGE 29 OF 32
• Connect a modem to the console/modem port and configure the console
server for dial-in
• The IP Power can then be network or serially connected to the console server
SSH tunneled control through the Console Server
• If the IP Power is connected on the remote LAN with the console server then it
can be browser controlled
• Configure the console server with the IP Power as a HTTP accessible Host. This
Managed Device can then be remotely controlled securely using SSH tunneling
(SDT)
• Configure the remote SDTConnector client to access the gateway (console
server) and then to connect to the IP Power using HTTP (refer
www.opengear.com/faq267.html for details)
Console Server seri l control
The IP Power is a principally a browser controlled unit, and its RS232 serial port
mainly provides diagnostic and status information (e.g. sending out its IP address
and power on messages during Power On Self Test).
However the IP Power serial port also supports emergency power control. To
configure the IP Power for serial control:
• Connect the IP Power 925 's CONSOLE RS232 port to one of the console server
serial ports (for CM4001/ 2 this interconnection will use a standard UTP Cat 5
cable with a 319000 adapter at each end, and all other console servers will only
require one 319000 adaptor).
• Configured the console server serial port with a serially controlled PDU
_____________________________________________________________________________
IP POWER PAGE 30 OF 32
• The IP Power outlets are then controlled by securely (HTTPS) accessing the
Manage: Power menu on the console server Management Console (refer
www.opengear.com/faq231.html for details)
NOTE
The outlet control commands are sent from the console server to the IP Power over the serial port.
The combination of out of band access and IP Power serial port control can be particularl useful
in managing remote sites where a DSL router (interconnect the office LAN and the internet) ma
have become d sfunctional requiring a power reset.
12. Gener l IP Power Control Using Seri l Port
The IP Power RS232 serial port mainly provides diagnostic and status information
however the serial port can be used for emergency power control as covered in the
previous section:
Usage: power-ip9258 <port> "<outlet> [outlet ]" on|off|status
The serial control script below is used in the console server and should work on a
normal Linux box:
#! /bin/sh
out_udelay=50000

else
echo "Command failed (${out})"
exit 1
fi
}
