IP POWER PAGE 23 OF 24
The IP Power is a principally a browser controlled unit, with power control effected over the LAN
using HTTP commands, or a browser. The IP Power RS232 serial port mainly provides diagnostic
and status information (e.g. sending out its IP address and power on messages during Power On
Self Test).
However the IP Power serial port also supports emergency power control, and this can be
accessed using the IM/CM4000. To configure the IP Power for serial control:
1. Ensure you have the latest version of firmware for the IP Power (V1.3.8A and later) and
IM/CM4000 (post V2.1.0u7)
2. Connect the IP Power 9258's CONSOLE RS232 port to the LOCAL console ports on
IM/CM4000. For CM4001 and SD4002 devices this connection will use a standard
UTP Cat 5 cable with a 319000 adapter at each end. For all other IM/CM4000
gateways the connection will require only one 319000 adaptor
3. Configure the IM/CM4000 gateway for OoB dial-in and set up the remote client dial-in
software
4. Set up the IM/CM4000 with IP Power 9258 configured as a serially controlled power
strip device
5. Configure SDTConnector so it will access the remote the IM/CM4000 gateway using
dial out, then connect to the Console Manager
