1. DESCRIPTION ePowerSwitch*8XM is a power control unit with a built-in Web server, an Ethernet and a RS232 connection. It enables to control the power supply of 8 power outlets through an Ethernet connection. The number of controlled power outlets can be extended up to 136 by cascading up to 16 ePowerSwitch 8XS to the Master. It supports a maximum load of 2x10A through 2 separate power inputs. This high security unit offers HTTPS protocol with Web browsers that support SSL version 2 or 3. It also supports plenty of control options to increase the security of your facilities and reduce unforeseen downtimes of your equipment. Its modular conception allows to monitor many sensors and trigger emergency actions like alert sending via SNMP traps, Email or Syslog messages. It is able to record all events into a time-stamped log file. 1.1 Diagram The front panel of the ePowerSwitch 8XM (Master)

3.3.8.4. Settings / Peripherals - Digital Inputs Up to 16 x Digital Input Modules, Push Buttons or Temperature and Proximity sensors can be attached to the ePowerSwitch 8XM to monitor environmental conditions. You can connect them the RJ45 connector on the ePowerSwitch 8XM or behind an xBus peripheral already connected to the ePowerSwitch 8XM (Daisy Chain Connection). An I/O Extension Module is also available to connect 8 dry contact inputs and 4 relay outputs to the ePowerSwitch 8XM (ref. I/O EXT MOD). 3.3.8.4.1. Digital Input Modules

Up to 16 Digital Input Modules with 16 inputs for dry contacts (door contacts, smoke and water detectors…) can be attached to the ePowerSwitch 8XM to monitor environmental conditions. To connect a Digital Input Module to the ePowerSwitch 8XM, use following procedure: 1. Set the dip switches on the bottom of the case so that the selected I/O address does not conflict with

another Digital Input Module already installed (see user's guide of the Digital Input Module).

- Do NOT connect the xBus cable and the Power adapter(s) before setting its DIP switches - Do NOT use the same address for two different Digital Input Modules 2. Using a standard RJ45 network cable, connect the Digital Input Module to the RJ45 xBus connector on

5. APPENDIX 5.1. Sending status information and sensor values using rules The administrator can create rules (see Settings/Rules) to trigger actions and send personalized messages in form of Syslog messages, SNMP traps or emails when an event occurs. Moreover, the administrator also has the possibility to complete his messages with status information of an input (a power supply or a door contact for example) or the value of a sensor (a temperature sensor for example). In the "Syslog/Trap/Mail Message" field of the rule settings page, the administrator has simply to enter the ID of the input of which he wants to send the status or value. This ID is made of the ID of the device where the input is located and the ID of the input itself. The IDs have to be entered between two percent characters. Many IDs can be specified in the text box but the message must not exceed 255. Syntax: %[device ID]:[input ID]% To know all IDs currently used by the system, go to the "Settings/Rules" page and click on "Add a New Rule". The two IDs of the monitored input are displayed in the two fields in the middle of the page. - To know all Digital Input IDs, choose "Digital Input Monitoring Rule" as Rule Type. - To know all Analog Input IDs, choose "Analog Input Monitoring Rule" as Rule Type. - To know all Power Status IDs, choose "Power Supply Monitoring Rule" as Rule Type. Examples: - To send the value of the T1 temperature, the administrator could add following line in the

"Syslog/Trap/Mail Message" text area: Temperature is %T1:T1% - To send the state of the D1 door contact of the DIM1 Digital Input Module, the administrator could add

following line in the "Syslog/Trap/Mail Message" text area: Door contact status is %DIM1:DI1% The schedule rule can be used to send status information or sensor values on specified weekdays at regular interval.

5.2. Ping and Scan Methods ePowerSwitch 8XM has two methods to check whether an IP equipment (PC, server, router, Webcam...) is still alive: Address Pinging: The first method uses the well-known Ping command whereby a request is sent to a specific IP address. The Ping command, which is an echo request, enables you to determine through an ICMP protocol (Internet Control Message Protocol) if an IP device is available on the network. If the system reacts to this request, ePowerSwitch 8XM knows that the TCP/IP connection is established. If the system does not react to one or several requests, ePowerSwitch 8XM can automatically switch the device off and after a specified delay switch it again on (Reboot function). Port Scanning: The second method uses the Port Scan command to test a specific TCP/IP port. In other words, this command allows you to find out if a specific protocol is available on a server (for example HTTP, FTP, Telnet, SMTP, POP...). ePowerSwitch 8XM simply tries to connect to a specific server port. If the connection is possible, ePowerSwitch 8XM knows that a server program is running there. If the connection is not possible, ePowerSwitch 8XM can automatically switch the device off and after a specified delay switch it again on (Reboot function). - The Supervision function works only if the ePowerSwitch 8XM is connected to the LAN. - The Ping and Scan functions can be used separately or together. - The network route between ePowerSwitch 8XM and the IP device you wish to supervise should

be as direct as possible, so do not use unnecessary routers and complex wiring between them. A problem on a router or the wiring could reboot the IP device to supervise.

- Execute several Pings and/or Scans before running the Reboot function. It could be possible that the IP device doesn't respond although it is still working.

- Choose a realistic supervision cycle. One second is possible, however it's not necessary to overload the network with Ping and Scan requests.

Recommended values: - Interval between Requests: 10 sec or more - Number of unsuccessful Requests before Reboot: 3 or more - Delay before Reboot: 10 sec or more - Delay before restarting monitoring after Reboot: 120 sec or more
