QUICK STARTUP REFERENCE
DEFAULT SETTINGS
The system is shipped with Factory Default settings. The default settings for
the Local Master serial port are: 9600, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and
no hardware handshaking (Flow Control). The default Administrator’s login name
is “admin” and password is “admin”. All existing user accounts are erased if the
system is recovered to the default settings. All user console ports are set to
the same parameters as the Local Master Port.
Control via Email, SNMP and Trap, AutoPing and Reboot are disabled as default
settings. Use configuration menu (Terminal program or Web) to change the default
settings if you need to. For SNMP public, private and trap access, the default community
string is "public".
There are two ways to restore the system to the Factory Default settings. The
first method is to press a push-button switch located on the front panel for 1
second. The second method is to select "Reload Factory Defaults" from the Main
Menu. The Main Menu can be viewed by running a terminal emulation program such
as Windows “hyperTerm”.
USER PRIVILEGE LEVELS
Administration Login: There is only one Administration account on the
system. The default name is “admin” and default password is also “admin”. The
default name and password may be changed. If you login at Administration level,
you are able to remove or change existing user accounts, take over power outlets
or user serial console ports and change system settings.
User Login: At the user login level, you are able to reserve power or
console ports for your applications if they are “open”, as well as make system
configuration changes. At this login level, you are not able to access other
user reserved console ports or change operation status for other reserved power
outlets.
Anonymous (Visitor) Access: If you have no account established on the
system (as an anonymous user), you are only able to view the system
configuration settings and operate unreserved serial console ports or power
outlets.
START CONFIGURATION
To access and configure the system from the master port, you need to connect a
RS232 port from your work station to the Local Master Serial Port. Then, run a
terminal emulation program (such as Window’s Hyper Terminal) on your computer.
1) Connect the system’s Local Master Port (DCE) with a straight DB-9 type cable
if your work station is equipped with a DTE port.
2) Connect the system’s Ethernet port to your LAN, if you intend to use the
network port.
3) Turn the system power on.
4) At terminal emulation program, type “setup” command to start system setup
process. Type “help” for help information.
5) The system has DHCP enabled, as a default setting. Network connectivity
parameters are displayed at the startup screen. If the system does not get a
DHCP offer, the system falls back to default static network settings. You can
alter the default network settings to fit your need.
6) Use the command “ping” to verify your connection. If network connection is
established, you are able to use Telnet, Web Browsing, Emailing and SMNP.
POWER OUTLET CONTROL
Use Configuration menus (terminal or web) to setup power port outlet or use the
following commands:
/pset n x - turn power outlet on/off. Where “n” is outlet #; “x” is
either “0” (off) or “1” (on).
/rb n – power reboot for outlet n.
AUTOPING & POWER REBOOT
Each power outlet has option to enable or disable this function. Use
Configuration menus to define user equipment IP addresses and other parameters.
ACCESS VIA EMAILS
Use the configuration menus to enable access via email function and then define
email servers (POP3 and SMTP), incoming addresses and 2nd optional outgoing
(reply) email addresses. Using the following format to send your emails:
Send control command only:
Email Subject Field –
&sysName&username&password&command&
where “sysName” is the user defined system(device) name; “username&password” is
an existing user account name and password on the system.
Example: &sysSite2&johnW&myPass&rb 2&
