Product Features
Congratulations on selecting the DLI Ethernet Power Controller, a
smart rack-mount AC power switch. Features include:
Simple Web Interface
The internal web server is accessible from any browser. Simply
enter an IP. Configuration and control are web-based.
AutoPing™ Reboot
AutoPing continuously monitors an IP address. If a server, router,
or other peripheral goes down, AutoPing can automatically reboot
it without user intervention. Several devices can be monitored
simultaneously.
8 Switched Duplex Outlets + 2 Unswitched Outlets
Eight individually switched controlled circuits are provided with
duplex outlets. Outlets are spaced for large adapters and plugs.
Un-switched outlets are provided for “always on” devices.
Programmable LCD Display
A 2x16 LCD displays status for each outlet. Custom messages
can be displayed via a scripting language.
Multi-User Password Security
Multi-user authentication limits access to the power controller. The
administrator selects which outlets each user can control.
Sequenced “On Timer”
A programmable delay timer allows outlets to be switched on
in sequence, rather than simultaneously. Most devices draw
a surge of power when initially switched on. Using this timer,
more equipment can share a single circuit without overloads.
Programmable scripts can be used to create customized power-up
and shut-down sequences with variable timing.

Important Factory Defaults
IP: 192.168.0.100
User name: admin
(lower case)
Password: 1234
To reset to factory defaults,
gently press the reset-to-
defaults button below the LCD

Quick Setup
Use these shortcuts if you are an experienced installer. We
recommend reading the entire manual for first-time installation.
• Unpack. Save the carton. Attach line cords to 15A circuits.
• Attach an Ethernet cable from the controller to your LAN. Switch
power on. If you are attached through a switch, you may need to
cycle switch power to establish a connection.
• Ping the default address 192.168.0.100 to confirm that a
network connection is established. If you don’t receive a response,
proceed to the IP Setup section below.
• Log in to the power controller using the default user name
admin and the password 1234 Note: “admin” must be entered in
lower case.
• Click the Settings link to reach the configuration page. Select
the safest power-loss configuration for your installation: (all OFF,
all ON, or sequential ON)
• Configure the power switch as described below. After each
change, click Submit and wait for the page to refresh before
continuing.
Tip:
• A three-bulb electrical safety-tester is handy for configuring the
controller before attaching your equipment.

IP Setup
If your network settings won’t access the default IP, use a direct
cable connection (temporarily bypass any switch or router)
and follow these steps to add a compatible static IP, such as
192.168.0.50 Before adding an IP, close all programs and
browsers. After the link is established, you can enable WiFi or
revert to DHCP.
Windows Step 1
In Windows, the first step is locating the network adapter TCP/IP
properties. The procedure differs for each Windows version:
Windows XP, 2000, 2003: Open Start / Control Panel / Network
Connections. In “classic view”, select Start / Settings / Control
Panel /Network Connections. Right-click on Local Area
Network Connection and select Properties. Proceed to step 2.
Windows Vista: Open Start, right click on Network, then on
Properties. Double click Network and Sharing Center, click
Manage Newtork Connections. A Network Connections window
appears. Right click on the network connection to the switch, ie.
Local Area Network. Proceed to step 2.
Windows 7: Open the Start orb, click on Control Panel. Click
View Network Status and Tasks, then Change Adapter
Settings. Proceed to step 2
Windows 8: Mouse or swipe to the bottom right corner and select
Settings. Select Control Panel. Select Network and Sharing
Center. Change Adapter Settings. Right click on your connected
network and select Properties. Proceed to step 2

Windows Step 2
The second step is adding an IP such as 192.168.0.50
Temporarily disable DHCP while configuring the switch.
Select Internet
Protocall TCP/
IP V4 Properties
and click
Properties. Enter
a compatible
static IP such as:
Click Apply and close windows. Ping the power switch to confirm
the connection. Point your browser to 192.168.0.100 Log in.

Max OS X
Turn AirPort off temporarily. Click the Apple logo, then System
Preferences, then Network. Select Built-In Ethernet and then
Configure. Under the TCP/IP tab, select Manually and enter an IP
address such as 192.168.0.0 as shown:

Network Conguration
WiFi and HTTPS are disabled by default. Establish a satisfactory
hard-wired network connection to 192.168.0.100 first, then enable
other desired features. The Settings page controls network
configuration:
The IP address of the controller needs to match the “class C” of
your system. In other words, the first three bytes (192.168.0) must
match the IP on your computer to access the controller. Using a
Ping utility is a good way to confirm a valid network configuration.
An “unreachable” report from Ping indicates a misconfigured
network.
Once you have a connection, the controller may be operated via a
web browser. To access the controller, enter the IP address in the
URL field of your web browser. The default is http://192.168.0.100
After setup, the HTTP and SSH ports may be moved to improve
security. For example, changing the HTTP port to 199 requires a
browser URL of 192.168.0.100:199 to reach the power controller.

Home (Outlet Control) Page
To access the home page, first enter the controller’s IP address in
the browser URL field, then log in. User admin has access to all
features. Other users have limited access to outlets as assigned
by the administrator.
Outlet Control
Clicking “Outlet Control” links to the home page used for
manually switching outlets on and off. Access to specific outlets is
determined by username. Admin controls all circuits.
Setup
The setup page lets you set outlet names, create web links, adjust
startup delays, and set a power loss recovery mode. You can also
add user accounts and change login credentials on this page.
Scripting
An updated scripting language based on Lua lets you customize
the power controller. Scripts may be started manually,
automatically on power-up, by external http commands, or by
AutoPing events. Find a list of commands and examples at:
digital-loggers.com/scripts.html

AutoPing
The AutoPing page lets you set parameters to automatically
reboot attached equipment. First, specify an IP address to ping.
Next, adjust the timing settings and use the checkboxes to link the
IP to power circuits. For example, if a router is unreachable, you
may choose to automatically reboot both a router and a switch
attached to two different circuits. Learn more: digital-loggers.com/
AutoPing
System Log
The power controller keeps an ihternal event log including logins,
outlet switching, power interruptions, and AutoPing events. Recent
events are stored in the log and accessible from the System Log
page. SYSLOG export is supported. For more information: digital-
loggers.com/syslog.html
Logout
Broswer logout is automatic when a session is closed. Use this
link to log-out in advance.
Programmable Web Links
User-defined web links are provided. Set names and destination
URLs for these links on the Settings page. These are convenient
for connecting to other power controllers or to remote sites.
Switching Outlets On and O
The outlet control page lets you control any duplex outlet (except
the always-on pair). A master control allows those users with
access to switch all outlets on or off.
To switch an outlet, simply click to the right of the outlet name or
number. On/Off switching is immediate.

Use the keypad for local control: Select an outlet using the
arrow keys, then press on, off, or cycle. Press ON or OFF for
5 seconds to lock or unlock an outlet. Locking prevents web
access. To change the display move, press the up and down
arrows simultaneously. The keypad may be disabled on the
Setup page.
You may want to Cycle a device which is connected to the
controller. This feature is useful for rebooting Ethernet devices
which may interrupt the web link to the controller. Clicking Cycle
switches power off, waits for the ON Delay time, and then
switches power back on. This reboots the attached device.
You can also cycle all outlets
using the Master Control on the
bottom of the page. An adjustable
ON sequence delay takes effect
when cycling, when using All
Outlets ON and on power-up.
Depending on your web browser settings, you may need to click
the Refresh button or F5 key to update the on-screen status
display after changing settings. Screen refresh rate is adjusted
in two places: on the Setup page and in your browser settings.
Setup Page
The Setup page allows the admin to configure:
Controller and Outlet Names
Use the controller name field to assign a Controller Name to
the power controller itself. An example is Server Rack 4 PDU..
The Controller Name will appear on top of all pages. Assign a
separate name to each outlet, such as DSL Router 1 or Email
Server to aid identification. Check the Confirm button to the
right of the outlet name if you would like a pop-up window to
appear before switching critical outlets.
