User Guide

The SW161A Power Switch is a power control unit with a built-in Web server, an Ethernet and a

serial RS232 connection. It enables to control the power supply of a power outlet either remotely

through a network (Intranet or Internet) or locally through its serial RS232 connection.

Its special Pinging and Scanning functions also allow the SW161A to supervise IP devices

(servers, routers...) and automatically reboot them in case of lock-up.

2. Configuration of the Power Switch

To use the Power Switch on your network you must first configure its network parameters. Ask

your network administrator for the parameters to use.

There are three different methods to configure the Power Switch:

Method 1:

Through a network using the Power Switch Finder Program (on the delivered CD).

It is the simplest and fastest configuration method if you use Windows as operating system. We

suggest that you use this program at least during the first configuration: it allows you to

configure your Power Switch through your local network even if its network parameters (IP

Address, Subnet mask and Port) are not compatible with those of your PC or your local

network.

If you decide to use this method you can directly go to §3 "Configuration using the Power Switch

Finder program".

Method 2:

Through a network using a Web browser (Internet Explorer > 6.0 and Netscape > 6.1).

This method can only be used if the network parameters of the Power Switch (IP Address,

Subnet mask…) have already been configured using either the Power Switch Finder program

(Method 1) or a Terminal program (Method 3).

For the first configuration you can also change the Network parameters of your PC according to

the default settings of the Power Switch.

Default Network setting of the Power Switch:

IP Address: 192.168.100.100

Mask: 255.255.255.0

Port: 80

If you decide to use this method you can directly go to §4 "Configuration using a Web browser".

Method 3:

Through a RS232 serial connection using a Terminal connection (see §7 "serial port pin

configuration" for the configuration of the serial interface connector).

If you use a PC, use the serial cable supplied with the product and a Terminal program such as

HyperTerminal from Microsoft.

If you decide to use this method you can directly go to §5 "Configuration using a Terminal

connection".

3. Configuration using the Power Switch Finder program

Remarks:

∇ The Power Switch and the PC used to configure it have to be connected on the same

segment of the network. The protocol of this program can not be routed so it can not be used

to configure the Power Switch through a WAN or the Internet.

∇ This program does not work if the administrator has deactivated it in the configuration of the

Power Switch (for security reasons for example).

1. Start the program PS-Finder.exe on the CD-ROM.

The Power Switch Finder window appears.

2. In the tool bar click on the first left button or choose the File/Scan Menu.

The program browses the segment on which is connected your PC and displays the name,

the type, the IP and MAC Address of the connected Power Switch.

3. In the tool bar click on the second left button or choose the File/Configure Menu.

The properties dialog box appears and you can now configure all parameters. To configure

all other parameters click on the Options button on the bottom of the dialog box.

5. Configuration using a Terminal Connection

The RS232 serial port of the Power Switch can be used to control its power socket and to

configure its Web server.

To configure the Web server:

1. Use the supplied RS232 serial cable to connect the Power Switch-1 to an available serial port

of your PC.

2. Run a terminal program such as Windows HyperTerminal.

3. Configure the appropriate serial port with the following settings:

9.600 bauds, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.

4. From your computer, press <ENTER> until the prompt «>» appears on your screen.

(the Power Switch is now in Command mode and is waiting for commands to switch the

power socket).

5. Press the <TAB> key on your keyboard.

The Configuration menu appears on your screen and the Power Switch is now in

Configuration mode. Follow the menu to configure the Web server of your Power Switch.

All commands start with the slash «/»

(ex.: type the command /NP to go to the Network Parameters setting menu.

To display the current menu again, press <ENTER>.

To go to the previous menu and to display it, press <ESC>.

Remark: to leave the configuration mode, type the restart command /RS. This is particularly

important if you want to control the power outlet later through the serial connection.
