Phonetics IMS-4000 - Manual (Page 97)

Assign a name to the PowerGate that describes its location. Also, assign labels to each outlet which
describes the device plugged into that outlet. This information will be critical when it comes time
to reboot a device. You can also assign voice messages to the PowerGate and each outlet. The voice
messages will allow you to control equipment via telephone using touch-tones. Use the Voice
Message programming screen to record your messages.
Switching Outlets using the IMS ConsoleView Software
To switch an outlet from the IMS ConsoleView Software, left-click on the word PowerGate within
the menu tree. The screen below will appear. Click on the “name” or number of the outlet(s) you
wish to switch. In the figure, outlet 5 is selected. Multiple outlets can be switched at the same
time by holding down either the Shift key (to select a continuous block) or the Control Key (to
select a discontinuous assortment of outlets). After making your selections, click the On, Off or
Cycle button to execute the command. When Cycle is selected, the outlet will be switched Off for
10 seconds and then will automatically switch back On. When you select Off or Cycle, an addi-
tional prompt appears to confirm that you really want to remove power from the selected device.
Note that the PowerGate will switch each outlet after a short delay, but the PowerGate2 will switch
all selected outlets simultaneously.

Automatic Outlet Switching
The IMS-4000 allows you to program an Alarm Response whenever an environmental or IP
Alarm occurs. An Alarm Response is an action that occurs automatically whenever an alarm
occurs. Using the PowerGate you can automatically turn On, Off, or Cycle equipment whenever
an Environmental or IP alarm occurs. See Configuring Environmental Inputs and Configuring IP
Alarms in the IMS-4000 Software Configuration Manual for details.
Switching Outlets via Telephone
The IMS-4000 allows you to switch PowerGate outlets using a touch-tone telephone. To do this
simply call the unit and enter the voice menu system. You must have a valid user code and the
appropriate permissions to execute this command.
Switching Outlets via Email
See the Two-Way E-Mail Commands section in the Software Configuration manual.
