SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: To be read before use! NOTE • The ePowerSwitch devices can only be installed by qualified people with the following installation and use instructions. The manufacturer disclaims all responsibility in case of a bad utilization of the ePowerSwitch devices and particularly any use with equipments that may cause personal injury or material damage. • This equipment is designed to be installed on a dedicated circuit that must have a circuit breaker or fuse protection.
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.
100 (LED) Off = 10 Mbits/sec connection On = 100 Mbits/sec connection RS232 (SUB-D 9F Connector) Serial port RS232 with DB-9 female connector Pinout 2 = TxD 3 = RxD 5 = Gnd xBus The RJ45 connector is used for cascading ePowerSwitch devices and xBus peripherals Maximal TOTAL line length: 200 meters Term (RS485 Termination DIP Switch) The xBus interface (RS485) has built-in termination resistors.

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).
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.
