REMOTE CONTROL AND MONITORING

Using the On Board Web Server

TURNING POWER ON AND OFF - On the Control page, both PODs has asso-
ciated with it a virtual On/Off button (Activate) and an On/Off indicator (Status).
Clicking an On/Off button turns the corresponding POD on or off. When a POD
is on the Status indicator will be green as if on. When a POD is off, it’s Status
indicator will darken, as if off.

POWER MONITORING - The Current indicator will show the amount of electric
current flowing through a particular POD. This meter is accurate to the nearest
0.1 amperes for levels between 0.2 and 20.0 amperes. Current measurement is
RMS, averaged over a period of three seconds. Because the iP-1 only meas-
ures current in one direction, from the outlet to the load, applications that feed
current back to the supply (for example inductive loads such as motors) will not
be measured accurately.

SEQUENCING SETTINGS - Rather than turning each POD on and off individu-
ally, in applications where it is desired to turn the outlets on and off in a coordi-
nated sequence, a macro program can be set to turn the PODS on (1-2) and off
(2-1) in order with the click of a virtual button. Under the Sequence heading on
the Control page enter a desired number of seconds for the delay of turning the
PODS on and off. The default value is two seconds. Clicking the Activate button
will turn the outlets on or off in the prescribed order. The status of the PODs is
indicated below the Status heading on the Control page.

REMOTE OPERATION OF iP-1 - To access the iP-1 from a different network
other than the one the iP-1 is using, you need to first assign the iP-1 with a
PORT address on the Network setup page and then assign this on your router.
Log in to your router and enable the PORT FORWARDING feature (Sometimes
called Virtual Server) using the assigned iP-1 IP number you chose and the port
number you assigned. Each router’s port forwarding is different. So see your
routers manual for help with configuring this. Once you have port forwarding
setup you can access the iP-1 from a remote network by typing the IP address
and PORT address into your browser bar. The PORT address is added to the
end of the IP address separated by a colon.

Example 200.100.075.050:80 - In this example “80” is the port address.

If you have enabled the port forwarding correctly on your router you will be able
to access the iP-1 from any location in the world.
