INTRODUCTION iP1520 WEB BASED REMOTE POWER CONTROL The Juice Goose iP1520 is a microcontroller based power distribution device that can be accessed via intranet or internet communications using Ethernet or RS232 connection. With this remote access, individual AC receptacles can be turned on and off and AC power receptacles can be monitored for electrical current flow. The iP1520 has a 20 amp capacity and provides AC line conditioning and surge protection.
QUICKSTART GUIDE 1. Unbox the unit. The box should contain: iP1520, manual, warranty card and Juice Goose promotional material. You will need a CAT5 network cable if attaching to a router, a CAT 5/6 crossover cable if connecting directly to a PC and a custom RS232 cable if you wish do connect via RS232 (see page 13 for a diagram on how to build the RS232 cable). 2. With your PC on and booted up, connect the iP1520 to your router or PC using a suitable cable.

when using RS232 the light will blink slowly indicating the unit is powered up. POD LEDs - As each of the POD duplex receptacles on the back of the iP1520 turns on a corresponding LED on the front of the unit will light. Each LED will turn off when the POD turns off. BACK PANEL FEATURES NETWORK (Ethernet) PORT - This RJ45 connector is for connecting to your PC, router or local area network using a TCP/IP link.
DETAILED INSTALLATION AND SETUP Unbox the unit. The box contains: the iP1520 unit, the iP1520 manual and a warranty card . Mount the iP1520 in a 19” wide rack with metal mounting rails, designed with 1.75” spacing. Use appropriate rack mounting hardware. Always power the IP1520 on a grounded outlet. Do not defeat the grounding feature of the iP1520 power cord. SET UP DETAIL Connecting to the iP1520 using a Router. 1.
point the Network light on the front of the unit should illuminate and remain on without blinking, indicating network connectivity. If the Network light blinks check the cable connections. 4. In Windows go to your start menu and navigate to the control panel. Then choose the Network Connections” icon. 5. Open Network connections by double clicking on it, select the LAN or HIGHSPEED icon, right click on this and select properties. 6.
The iP1520 Management section is accessable from the top right link named “iP1520 Management” consists of 4 tabs; Overview—Which shows the current configuration of the iP1520 Network Setup– Where you can configure IP address and other required network settings dependant on your personal network User Setup– Where you can set the username and password for both the admin account and user account Configuration— Which allows you to configure RS232 baud-rate setting and the Power Cycle feature of POD1.
NETWORK SETUP In the above screen capture you can see the network setup tab accessible when logged in as Admin. The Enable DHCP is checked by default. This will result in the router or DHCP server assigning the IP address of the unit which will then be visible on the OVERVIEW tab. If you wish to set the IP address manually to conform with your personal network the fields are provided to do this.
USER SETUP The user setup tab is where you configure the Admin and User account passwords. You can change the username and password on both accounts by typing in the changes in the corresponding fields. There is a second password field for both accounts that verifies you typed the password in correctly. If you did not, an error message will be displayed when trying to save the changes.
CONFIGURATION You can also assign a new IP or control the device via RS232 commands (see page 13 and 14 for the list of commands), this will require a special cable (detailed drawing on page 13). The only field that is variable for RS232 communication is the Baud rate which is set at a default of 19200bps. RS232 communication uses COM1. Your computer will need to be set to the same values as follows; Baud rate=19200, Parity=None, Data Bits=8, Stop Bits=1.
Before you enable this feature, be sure to configure the settings you require. After you enable the Power Cycle feature the settings cannot be changed unless you disable the feature again. Please note: if you have a Dynamic IP address it is not advisable to plug your Cable/DSL modem into POD1 as a reboot of the modem could result in a new IP address being assigned to the modem and so could result in remote access issues if you do not know what the new IP address is.
REMOTE CONTROL AND MONITORING Using the On Board Web Server TURNING POWER ON AND OFF - On the Control page, each of three PODs has associated 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.
RS232 CONTROL AND MONITORING To operate the iP1520 using RS232 you will need a suitable cable from the PC to the iP1520 RJ11 RS232 port on the rear of the unit. Below is the pin out for a RJ11 to female DB9 cable. This cable will need to be constructed or purchased. RS232 CABLE PINOUT RS232 COMMANDS Using Terminal Software such as Windows Hyper Terminal or Micro Terminal which you can download from our website at http://juicegoose.com/product-ip1520.
ALLON—Turns all PODs on without sequence ALLOFF – Turns all PODs off without sequence SEQUP(X) – Sequences up all PODs from 1 to 3, where (X) is the number of seconds between sequence events (e.g. A 2 second sequence would be SEQUP2) SEQDOWN(X) Sequences down all PODs from 3 to 1, where (X) is the number of seconds between sequence events (e.g.
RAW TCP CONTROL It is possible to control and monitor iP1520 over Ethernet using raw TCP protocol. In this mode, any PC ( Windows, Linux, Mac ) can connect to the iP1520 over a TCP/IP connection using a suitable TCP/IP client program. Once the connection is made, the serial port console and its commands are available to the user over TCP/IP as if the user was connected to IP1520 over the local serial connection. By default, TCP feature is disabled due to security reasons.
To connect to IP1520 over TCP, simply start your TCP client program ( such as Hercules or PuTTY) and specify the IP address of the iP1520 and the TCP port. Start the connection ( many programs have a Connect button to start the connection ) and type iP1520 console commands such as Help. You should see the reply to the command on the TCP client terminal window. See page 13 and 14 of this manual for a full list of the console commands available.
UDP Control It is possible to control and monitor iP1520 over Ethernet using UDP protocol. In this mode, any PC ( Windows, Linux, Mac ) can connect to the iP1520 using a suitable UDP capable client program. Once the UDP port is opened, the serial port console and its commands are available to the user over UDP as if the user was connected to iP1520 over the local serial connection. By default, UDP feature is disabled due to security reasons. This can be enabled through the web interface.
POWER LOSS FEATURE The power loss feature on the iP1520 ensures that in the event of a power outage the previous state is remembered when power is returned. Effectively this means that if you have PODs in an activated state and the power fails, when power is restored the PODs that were previously activated will sequence back up in accordance with the sequence delay currently active. To enable the power loss feature, click on iP1520 Management link on the web interface and then click on Configuration tab.
TROUBLESHOOTING The Juice Goose iP1520 is ruggedly constructed and contains quality components. There are no user serviceable parts inside this device. Unauthorized service will void all existing warranties and may result in equipment damage and personal injury. Should improper performance be observed consult the following guidelines for diagnosis. THE iP1520 WILL NOT POWER UP. a. Check to see that main utility power is available. b. Check that the circuit breaker on the iP unit is not tripped. c.
POD 1 KEEPS REBOOTING. The Power Cycle feature may be enabled and there is no connectivity to the selected domain. POD 1 will power cycle if the defined domain name to be PINGed is unreachable. This can happen if you’re using the unit independently of a web enabled network. Disable the feature in this case. a. Ensure you have chosen a valid web address to PING. b. Ensure you have the PING set to at least 30 seconds and the retries to at least 2.
Unplug the iP1520 and replace the top and reinsert the screws. At this point, when power is returned to the unit and network connection restored the setup procedure can be followed as if the unit was being used for the first time. See the “Quickstart” and/or “Setup Detail” sections of this manual. Below is a photo of iP1520 board showing the factory reset on the right (circled). I’VE TRIED THESE SOLUTIONS AND STILL HAVE A PROBLEM.
