1. Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the IPS-0008, an intelligent power management system. The IPS-0008 provides the useful ability of managing power for any combination of network equipment connected to it. You can control the power on/off for any device connected to the IPS-0008, manually or remotely, using a console or Ethernet connection.

The IPS-0008 comes with eight power outlets, each of which can be monitored and controlled through the console or web interfaces. You can also use the front panel to operate the power outlets. The IPS-0008 is also equipped with a console port for connecting an EMD (Environmental Monitored Device, optional) for sensing temperature and humidity along with two alarms that can be activated when either of the sensors shows unusual values. The IPS-0008 is provided with two digital outputs which you can use for connecting status indicators or digital switches.

The device is designed to remember the configuration of each outlet and inlet and is also able to measure the input and output current consumption.
