The IPN system is a truly flexible system that allows control of multiple Intelligent AC Power Nodes anywhere in the world. Whether the application ranges from resetting the power on different machines to securing the AC power to all of the PCs in an entire building, locally or remotely, the IPN system can be configured to meet your specific requirement.
INTRODUCTION
It uses standard internationally available parts and connectors (IEC 320-C 13 &
14) that make it easy to install virtually anywhere in the world with locally
available PC power cords and adapters. It can be used on 100 VAC through 250
VAC mains.
There are two methods of connecting multiple IPNs. They can be daisy-chained
using the RJ-11 "TelCo" and "Modem" ports as upstream and
downstream connections or configured in a star topology using an IPN HUB.
IPN HUB
Either cabling method supports connection to a Touch-Tone Controller, the Web-Based
Controller or a PC serial port as the controlling device.
The IPN is an intelligent AC power node that is addressable and can be
controlled by one of the Touch-Tone Controllers, the Web-based Controller
or from the serial port of a local PC. It also provides automatic unattended
reboot capability in the event that the machine to which it is connected hangs
(Windows based).
The IPN HUB provides the option for a "star cabling" type of topology.
Each HUB has eight RJ-45 connectors that connect directly to the IPN's DB-9
pin serial port with a DB-9/RJ-45 adapter, up to 2000' away. The HUBs themselves
can also be daisy-chained or stacked to increase the number of IPN ports.
TOUCH-TONE CONTROLLERS (SP-RRC and 3P-RRC)
The Touch-Tone Controllers are available with 1 or 3 ports. Each port can
support up to 20 IPNs in a daisy-chained fashion or up to 100 per port when
combined with an IPN HUB.
The Touch-Tones can be entered from any Touch-Tone Key pad or appended to a modem's AT dial string, even though there may be no answering modem.
The Controllers also offer password security up to six numeric digits and can share the line with other normal voice, fax or modem activity. They are also Touch-Tone programmable.
TOUCH-TONE CONTROLLER COMMANDS
A control string includes a #8, password (0-6 digits), controller port number (1-3),
device address (00-99 or group or all) and the desired action (1-6, ON-OFF-RESET-NA-
PERMANENT ON and PERMANENT OFF). Wild cards (#) and redundant addressing
schemes may be used for group control. A sequencing delay is automatic for
group ON commands.
A typical control string to recycle power on device 15 might look like:
If this were appended to an AT dial string it would look like:
DIRECT SERIAL PORT CONTROL
When using a PC as the controller, the (12 Volt) serial port can support up to
60 IPNs. They may be daisy-chained or run through an IPN HUB. A small adapter
is required for the serial port if they are daisy-chained.
The control commands can be entered using Hyperterm for direct serial port or modem connections (A). Serial Net, a Telnet to serial utility can be used if LAN or Internet control is required. It runs on the local "control PC", considered the server (B). It can be accessed by any Telnet client.
AUTOMATIC SOFTWARE RESETS TOO
The IPN is compatible with any of the CPS's FREE automatic rebooting software utilities.
These Windows based utilities can automatically and independently reboot a single device
if it senses that the unit is hung (Heartbeat),
or they can ping a number of devices directly or through routers
(Auto Ping). They can also run as a service
with e-mail notification.
The serial port of the "software PC" is used to send the reset commands to the IPNs. A IPN HUB adapter is required, if the IPN's is connected to an IPN HUB; however, "Daisy Chaining" is the more common method of connecting multiple units.
See Proactive Rebooting under Tech Tips for possible configuration diagrams.
MANUAL CONTROL
A push-button switch on the IPN operates in a toggle ON/OFF mode. The "Permanent
ON/OFF" commands negate the push-button function.
LEDs
Three LEDs are used to monitor the status of the unit as well as power from the
main and out to the equipment.
The AC circuit on the IPN is protected with an easy to change time-delay fuse rated at 10 Amps @ 110VAC to 6 Amps @ 220VAC.
For single unit applications with the addition of the "auto reboot on six ring" feature, see the IPC. It offers the same international connectivity conveniences, but it is not addressable.
