Power supply connection

The SmartView World is supplied with a single power supply and an appropriate country-specific IEC power lead. The SmartView World does not have an on/off switch so operation begins as soon as the power supply is connected.

Note: When computers are first powered on they communicate with any attached keyboards and mice in order to setup parameters required by their operating system. It is necessary for the SmartView World to be attached and powered on during this sequence so that it can give the required responses and keep track of all modes and settings requested by each of the connected computers.

To connect the power supply

1Connect the low voltage output connector from the power supply unit to the SmartView World power socket in the lower left corner of the rear panel.

2Connect the IEC connector of the supplied country-specific power lead to the socket of the power supply.

3 Connect the power lead to a nearby main supply socket.

Power switching connections

A key feature of the SmartView World is its ability to remotely control the power of the computers attached to it. The actual power switching process requires the use of optional switch boxes available from a number of suppliers (Adder part number: EPS-S8), however, the SmartView World offers the control port for these switches and the necessary operational integration within its menu system.

The control connector of the first power switch is connected, via serial cable, to the rear panel of the SmartView World. Any additional power switches are then connected via a ‘daisy-chain’ arrangement to the first power switch. Each power switch box is then given a unique address and access to each power port (8 ports on each power switch box) is gained using a combination of the switch box address and the port number.

Each power port can then be connected to the power inputs of each computer and each power switch box then connected to a mains power supply.

IMPORTANT: Power switching devices have a maximum current rating. It is essential to ensure that the total current drawn by the equipment connected to the power switching device does not exceed the current rating of the power switching device. You must also ensure that the current drawn from any mains socket does not exceed the current rating of the mains socket.

Setting up, configuring and using power switching requires three main steps:

Connect and address the switch boxes

Configure the power strings

Operate remote power switching
