 1. Introduction

Electronic equipment sometimes "locks-up," often requiring a service call

just to flip the power switch to perform a simple reboot. The IPS-400
Internet Power Switch gives you the ability to perform this function from
anywhere, just point your browser to the IPS’s IP address, enter the secure
password, and you’re just a click away from remote power On, Off or
Reboot!

Intelligent Power Control

In addition to web browser access, the IPS-400 can also communicate over
any TCP/IP network using standard Telnet, or out-of-band using an external
modem and basic VT100 type terminal emulation.

Security Features and Co-Location Features

To ensure security, web browser access requires the user to enter an
assigned user name and password. The IPS provides two levels of
operational passwords; the System Administrator Level, which allows
access to all configuration and switching functions, and the User Level,
which only allows access to assigned plugs and cannot be used to change
unit configuration.
In addition to password security features, the IPS also includes an address
specific IP security mask, which can be employed to prevent unauthorized
network access to the IPS command mode.

Easy to Configure, Easy to Use

The IPS can be configured over the network, via modem, or locally via the
IPS console port. Easy to use commands let you assign a location name, set
system parameters and view plug status. Outlets can be switched On, Off,
or booted using plug numbers or names.

Reliability and Support

The IPS is built in the USA and backed by a two year warranty. NetReach
products are installed in thousands of network sites world wide. Our
customers know they can depend on WTI for superior quality and reliability
for their most mission-critical operations.

Browser. Enter the IPS’s default IP address ([Link])
in your browser address bar and then press [Enter]. A password
prompt will be displayed. Since at this point, the user name and
password have not yet been defined, you can simply click OK
without keying in a user name or password. The Plug Status
Screen will be displayed as shown in Figure 3.1.
b) Text Interface:
i. Via Telnet: Telnet to the IPS’s default IP address
([Link]). The Plug Status Screen (Figure 3.2)
should be displayed.
ii. Via Local PC: Start your communications program (e.g.,
Hyperterminal) and then press [Enter]. The Plug Status
Screen should be displayed as shown in Figure 3.2. The
default communications parameters for the Console Port are
9600 bps, No Parity, 8 data bits, One stop bit.
iii. Via Modem: Use your communications program to dial
the number for the phone line which is connected to your
external modem. Note that in order to communicate with the
unit via modem, you must first access the command mode
via Network or Local PC, and use the Serial Parameters
Menu to set the Port Mode to "Modem" as described in
Section 5.3.2.

• Check nameplate ratings to ensure that there is no
overloading of supply circuits that could have an effect on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

4.2. Connection to Switched Outlets

Connect the power cord from the Switched Device to a Switched AC Outlet
on the IPS unit. When power is applied to the IPS unit for the first time, all
four AC Outlets will be switched "ON".
The IPS-400 can switch up to a total of 15 Amps, and the IPS-400-CE can
switch up to a total of 10 Amps.

4.3. Console / RS232 Port Connection

The Console Port is a male, RS232C DB9 connector, wired in a DTE
configuration. In the default state, the Console port is configured for 9600
bps, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit. The Console Port can be connected to
either an external modem or a local PC, but not both items at the same time.
Appendix A describes the Console Port interface.

4.3.1. Connecting a Local PC

When connecting the Console Port to a Local PC, note that the port uses a
DTE configuration. After the Local PC has been connected, make certain to
set the Serial Port Mode to "Console" as described in Section 5.3.2.

4.3.2. Connecting an External Modem

When connecting directly to an external modem, use a standard AT to
Modem cable. Make certain that the modem is initialized at the same
default communications parameters as the IPS Console Port. Next, refer to
Section 5.3.2 and set the Serial Port Mode to "Modem". If necessary, you
may also wish to redefine the Modem initialization command at this point.
Please refer to your modem user’s guide for more information.

4.4. Connecting the Network Cable

The Network Port is an RJ45 Ethernet jack, for connection to a TCP/IP
network. Connect your 10Base-T cable to the Network Port. Note that the
IPS includes a default IP address ([Link]) and a default subnet
mask ([Link].) When installing the IPS in a working network
environment, it is recommended to define network parameters as described
in Section 5.3.4.

Note: The IPS features a 10Base-T Interface. When connecting

to a 100Base-T interface, most router switches will autosense
to determine if the device is 100Base-T or 10Base-T, and then
configure the network interface accordingly. If your router switch
does not autosense, the network interface port must be manually set
to 10Base-T.

This completes the IPS installation instructions. Please proceed to the next
Section for instructions regarding unit configuration.

 5. Configuration

5.1. System Mode and User Mode

In order to restrict access to sensitive command functions, the IPS features
two operating modes; System Mode and User Mode.
• System Mode: Allows access to all configuration menus, switching
functions and status screens. The System Mode Status Screens show
On/Off conditions for all switched outlets, and list all currently defined
system parameters.
• User Mode: Allows access to On/Off/Boot commands, but does
not allow access to configuration functions. Users may only issue
commands to, or view status of the plugs that are specifically allowed
by their password.
The IPS will display a password prompt when the unit is contacted via
the Console Port or Network Port. The password entered at this prompt
determines whether the unit will start-up in System Mode or User Mode. If
the System Password is entered, the System Mode will be active. If a Plug
Password is entered, the User Mode will be active. The System Password
is defined via the General Parameters menu (Section 5.3.1), and the Plug
Passwords are defined via the Plug Parameters Menus (Section 5.3.3.)
Notes:
• If you wish to restrict access to configuration menus, you must
define the System Password.
• If the System Password is not defined, the IPS will always start-
up in System Mode.
• If the System Password is not defined, the Password Prompt will
not be displayed when you access the IPS via the Text Interface.
The prompt will always be displayed when the IPS is contacted
via the Web Browser Interface.
• When the IPS is contacted via Network, the password prompt
will also include a field for the user name. If you have not
defined a user name, then you may leave this field blank, and
only the password is required to gain access to the unit. The user
name prompt is not displayed when the unit is contacted via the
Text Interface.

5.2. Communicating with the IPS

In order to configure the unit or invoke command functions, you must first
connect to the IPS and access command mode. As discussed in Section 3,
the IPS offers two separate command interfaces: the Web Browser
Interface, and the Text Interface.
The IPS also offers three different methods for accessing command mode;
via network, via external modem, or via local console. The Web Browser
Interface is only available when the IPS is contacted via network, and the
Text Interface is available via network, modem or local PC. The sections
that follow describe the procedure for accessing the Web Browser Interface
or the Text Interface.
Note: Configuration functions are only available when you have
logged into the IPS command mode using the System Password.

5.2.1. Accessing the Web Browser Interface

In order to issue commands via the Web Browser Interface, the IPS must
be connected to a TCP/IP network, and your PC must be equipped with a
JavaScript enabled web browser (such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer or
Netscape® Navigator.)
1. Start your JavaScript enabled Web Browser.
2. Key the IPS’s IP address (default = [Link] into the
web browser’s address bar, and then press [Enter].

 Configuration

3. Password Prompt: The IPS will display a prompt, which asks for
your name and password.
a) User Name: If you have not previously defined a user name,
then this field should be left blank. A user name is only required
when one has been defined via the General Parameters menu.
b) Password: Key in your System Password or Plug Password
(User Password) and then click "OK" (Note that Plug Passwords
do not permit access to configuration functions.)
c) If the System Password has not been defined, simply click the
"OK" button without keying in a name or password.
If a valid password is entered, the Plug Status Screen will appear as shown
in Figure 5.1.

5.2.2. Accessing the Text Interface

The Text Interface can be accessed via Network, modem or local PC.
In order to access the Text Interface, your installation must include the
following:
• Access Via Network: The IPS must be connected to your TCP/IP
Network, and your PC must include a communications program (such
as Hyperterminal.)
• Access Via Modem: An external modem must be connected to the
IPS’s RS232 Console Port, and a phone line must be connected to the
external modem. Your PC Must include a communications program.
• Access Via Local PC: Your local PC Must be connected to the IPS’s
RS232 Console Port. The local PC must include a communications
program.
To access command mode via the Text Interface, proceed as follows:
1. The IPS is transparent to parity and will accept 7 or 8 bit characters,
but will always answer back at 8 bits, no parity. Make certain your
communication program is set for the appropriate baud rate, bits,
parity and Communications Port.
a) Via Modem: Start your communications program. Dial the
external modem connected to the IPS. Wait for the Connect
message, then proceed to Step 2.
b) Via Local PC: Start your communications program and press
[Enter]. Wait for the connect message, then proceed to Step 2.

working network environment, it is recommended to redefine the
IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address as described in
Section 5.3.3.
i. Telnet to the IPS’s IP address. For example, if the IP address
is "[Link]", then on a UNIX system, the Telnet
command would be:
$ telnet [Link] [Enter]
ii. If the Telnet connection is refused, this may mean that either
the IP Security feature has denied the connection
(See Section [Link]), or that the unit is operating on a
100Base-T network that does not autosense for 10Base-T
devices (see Section 4.4.)
2. Password: If the System Password has been defined, the unit will
display the Password Prompt. Key in either the System Password
or Plug Password, and press [Enter]. If the System Password has
not been defined, the prompt will not be displayed when the unit is
accessed via the Text Interface. Note that the Password feature is
case sensitive.
3. If a valid System Password or Plug Password is entered, the IPS will
display the Plug Status Screen shown in Figure 5.2, followed by the
"IPS>" Command Prompt.
Note: The Plug Status Screen will not display actual passwords.
The password column will read either "defined" or "undefined",
depending upon whether or not the Plug Passwords have been
defined.

Note that in this case, the major difference between the Web Browser
Interface and Text Interface is that the Web Interface allows you to select
parameters for all four plugs from a single menu, whereas the Text Interface
includes a separate menu for each plug.
• Plug Name: Assigns a name to the plug. (Up to 32 Characters,
Default = undefined.)
Note: The Plug name cannot begin with a number, the underscore
character (_), the slash character (/) or an asterisk (*).
• Plug Password: Assigns a password to the plug. When this password
is entered at login, the user will be able to issue commands to this
plug, and any other plug that shares the same password as described
in Section [Link]. Note that this password does not allow access to
configuration menus. (16 Characters, Default = undefined.)
Note: Passwords cannot contain nonprintable characters, spaces,
colons (:), plus signs (+) or quotation marks.
• Boot/Seq. Delay: When more than one plug is switched On/Off or
a reboot cycle is initiated, the Boot/Sequence delay determines how
much time will elapse between switching operations, as described in
Section [Link]. (Default = 0.5 Seconds.)
• Power-Up Default: Determines how this plug will react when the
Default command (/D) is invoked, or after power to the unit has been
interrupted and then restored. After the default command is invoked,
or power is restored, the IPS will automatically switch each plug On or
Off as specified by the Power-Up Default. (Default = On).
Note: If you have accessed command mode using the System
password, the Default command will apply to all four IPS outlets.
If you have accessed command mode using the Plug password, the
Default command will only be applied to outlets that share the same
password entered at login.

[Link]. Plug Passwords and Co-Location Features

The Plug Passwords allow you to determine which plugs an individual user
will be permitted to control. When a plug password is entered at the login
prompt, the user will be able to issue On/Off/Reboot commands for the
corresponding plug, and every other plug that shares this same password.
For example, if the password "switch" is defined for plugs 1, 2, and 3, then
a user who logs into command mode using the password "switch" will be
allowed to issue commands to plugs 1, 2, and 3, but not plug 4. Note that
Plug Passwords do not allow access to configuration menus, and users are
only allowed to view the status of plugs permitted by their password.

[Link]. The Boot / Sequence Delay Period.

The Boot / Sequence Delay value will be applied differently for Reboot
operations as opposed to simple On/Off operations as described below:
1. Reboot Cycles:
a) Single Plug: The Boot/Seq. Delay determines how long the plug
will remain Off before it is switched back On again.
b) Several Plugs: The Boot/Seq. Delay determines how long the
plug will remain "Off", and also how long the IPS will pause
before proceeding to the next plug.
2. On/Off Switching: The Boot/Seq. Delay determines how long the
IPS will pause before proceeding to the next plug.

Examples: Assume that the Boot / Sequence Delays for each plug have
been set as follows: Plug 1 = 1 Second, Plug 2 = 2 Seconds, Plug 3 = 5
Seconds, Plug 4 = 1 Minute.
If an "On" command is applied to all four plugs, the IPS will respond as
follows:
1. Turn On Plug 1, Wait 1 Second.
2. Turn On Plug 2, Wait 2 Seconds.
3. Turn On Plug 3, Wait 5 Seconds.
4. Turn On Plug 4.
If a "Reboot" Command is applied to Plug 3, the IPS will respond as
follows:
1. Turn Off Plug 3, Wait 5 Seconds, Turn On Plug 3.
If a Reboot Command is applied to all four plugs, the IPS will respond as
follows:
1. Turn Off all four plugs (short delay between plugs.)
2. Wait 1 Second, Turn On Plug 1, Wait 1 Second.
3. Wait 2 Seconds, Turn On Plug 2, Wait 2 Seconds.
4. Wait 5 Seconds, Turn On Plug 3, Wait 5 Seconds.

The IP Security feature can be used to restrict unauthorized IP addresses
from establishing a connection with the IPS. In the default state, the IPS
accepts incoming IP connections from all hosts. To configure the IP
Security feature, proceed as follows:
1. Access the IP Security Menu:
a) Web Browser Interface: The IP Security feature is configured

shown in Figure 5.11.
2. The IP Security menu lists five IP Security "masks" along with the
selected permit/deny action for each mask.
a) Each Security Mask prompt defines a specific IP address or range
of addresses. Each Mask Action prompt defines the permit/deny
action for the corresponding mask.
b) Masks are listed in order of ascending priority; Mask 1 has the
lowest priority, Mask 5 has the highest priority.
c) Masks have a cumulative effect; high priority masks supersede
the effect of lower priority masks.
d) Each IP Address consists of a series of four eight bit numbers.
The number 255 is used as a wild card.

Example 1: Deny access to all hosts except [Link]:

Security Mask #1: [Link] Mask #1 Action: Deny
Security Mask #2: [Link] Mask #2 Action: Permit
Since 255 is a wild card, Mask #1 blocks all IP Addresses. Mask #2 then
specifically grants access to [Link] only.
Example 2: Allow access only by addresses that begin with 192.
Security Mask #1: [Link] Mask #1 Action: Deny
Security Mask #2: [Link] Mask #2 Action: Permit
Since 255 is a wild card, Mask 1 blocks all IP addresses. Mask 2 then
grants access to all addresses that begin with 192.
Example 3: Allow access only by addresses that begin with 192, deny
access to [Link].
Security Mask #1: [Link] Mask #1 Action: Deny
Security Mask #2: [Link] Mask #2 Action: Permit
Security Mask #3: [Link] Mask #3 Action: Deny
Since 255 is a wild card, Mask 1 blocks all IP addresses. Mask 2 then
grants access to all addresses that begin with 192. Finally, Mask 3
specifically blocks access by [Link].
Note:
• Mask #5 has priority over the other four masks. If Mask #5 is
set to deny access by "[Link]" (all wild cards), you
will not be able to access IPS Command Mode via network.
Access will only be allowed via a Local PC or external modem
connected to the IPS Console Port.
• When using the wild card address "[Link]", make
certain that at least one higher priority mask permits access by
your IP address.

configuration menus, and then click the Web Server Parameters button.
The Web Server Parameters Menu will be displayed as shown in
Figure 5.14.
• Text Interface: Type /W and press [Enter]. The Web Server
Parameters Menu will be displayed as shown in Figure 5.15.
The Web Server Parameters Menu offers the following options:
• Service: Enables/Disables the IPS’s Web Server. Note that when the
Web Server is disabled, you will not be able to communicate via the
Web Browser Interface. (Default = On.)
• Port Number: Sets the TCP/IP Port Number. The Port Number can
be set to any valid number except 23; this is because 23 is the default
port number that is used for communication with the unit via Telnet.
(Default = 80.)

5.4. Save Configuration Parameters

The IPS offers two methods for saving parameters; Saving to Memory, and
Saving to an ASCII File.
Saving parameters to memory ensures that your user-defined configuration
will remain intact if power to the IPS is temporarily interrupted. After the
configuration menus have been used to change parameters, the IPS will
prompt you to save parameters before exiting from command mode. At
this point, the IPS offers the options to Save parameters, continue without
saving, or revert to the previously saved parameters.
Saving Parameters to an ASCII file allows you to create a "backup" of your
currently defined configuration. As described in Section 7, this provides
quick recovery in the event that the unit is accidentally reset to default
parameters, and also allows you to copy parameters to other IPS units when
several units need to be configured with the same parameters.
Notes:
• After new Parameters have been applied, the IPS will display
a "Save" prompt. In the Web Browser Interface, this prompt
appears when you leave the configurations menus. In the Text
Interface, the "Save" prompt appears when you disconnect
from the unit. At this point, you have the option of saving new
parameters to memory, continuing without saving, or reverting to
previously saved parameters.
• If parameters have not been saved, and if power to the IPS is
interrupted, newly defined parameters will be lost. When power
is restored, the unit will then be configured with the previously
saved parameters.

 6. Operation

As discussed in Section 5, the IPS offers two separate command

interfaces; the Web Browser Interface and the Text Interface. Note that
both interfaces offer essentially the same command options and features,
and that parameters defined via the Web Interface will also apply when
communicating via the Text Interface (and vice versa.)

6.1. Operation via the Web Browser Interface

When using the Web Browser Interface, all switching commands are
invoked via the Plug Status Screen, which also displays the status of the
IPS’s four switched outlets.

6.1.1. The Plug Status Screen - Web Browser Interface

When you logon to the IPS command mode, using the Web Browser
Interface, the first screen that is displayed after login is the Plug Status
Screen (or "Switch Panel".) The Plug Status Screen (Figure 6.1) lists the
current On/Off status of the IPS’s Switched Outlets, user defined On/Off
Defaults and provides a series of "radio buttons" which are used to control
switching of the outlets.
To invoke On/Off/Boot commands, set outlets to Default On/Off status or
view plug status via the Web Browser Interface, proceed as follows:
1. Access the IPS Command Mode as described in Section 5.2.1.

2. When the Plug Status Screen (Figure 6.1) appears, note that the screen
includes a status field and On/Off/Boot/Default controls for each of the
IPS’s four Switched AC Outlets.
Notes:
• When Boot/On/Off operations are initiated, Boot/Sequence
Delay times will be applied as described in Section [Link].
• Users who login to command mode using a Plug password, will
only be allowed to issue commands to the plugs allowed by
that password.

plug(s), then click "Apply". To switch all Plugs On, click the "On"
radio button in the "All Plugs" row, then Click "Apply."
4. Switching Plugs Off: Click the "Off" radio button next to the desired
plug(s), and then click "Apply". To switch all Plugs Off, click the
"Off" radio button in the "All Plugs" row, and then Click "Apply."
5. Reboot Cycles: Click the "Boot" radio button next to the desired
plug(s), and then click the "Apply" Button. To reboot all Plugs, click
the "Boot" button in the "All Plugs" row, and then Click "Apply."
6. Set Plugs to Default On/Off Values: To set all outlets to their user-
defined On/Off status, click the "Default" button in the "All Plugs" row
and then click the "Apply" Button. Note that in order for this feature
to function properly, default On/Off values for each outlet must first be
defined as described in Section 5.3.3.

When each On/Off/Boot/Default command is invoked, the IPS will display

a screen which indicates that a switching operation is in progress, then
return to the Plug Status screen when the command is complete. At that
time, the Status Screen will list the updated On/Off status of each outlet.

6.2. Operation via the Text Interface

When using the Text Interface, all switching functions are performed by
invoking simple, ASCII commands. ASCII commands are also used to
display status screens and to log out of command mode. The Text Interface
includes a Help Menu, which summarizes all available IPS commands. To
display the Text Interface Help Menu (Figure 6.3), type /H and
press [Enter].

6.2.1. The Plug Status Screen - Text Interface

When you login to the IPS command mode using the Text Interface, the
first screen that is displayed after login is the Plug Status Screen. The Plug
Status Screen (Figure 6.2) lists the current status of the IPS’s Switched AC
Outlets and displays the firmware version and currently defined Site I.D.
Message.
Normally, the Plug Status Screen will also be redisplayed each time a
command is successfully executed. Note however, that if desired, the
Automated Mode (See Section 6.4) can be enabled to suppress the display
of the Plug Status Screen after each command.

 Operation

To switch plugs On or Off, initiate a Boot Cycle, or set plugs to default

On/Off status, proceed as follows:
1. Switch Plug(s) On: To power-on a plug, type /ON n and press
[Enter]. Where "n" is the number or name of the desired plug.
For example:
/ON 1 or /ON ROUTER
2. Switch Plug(s) Off: To power-off a plug, type /OFF n and press
[Enter]. Where "n" is the number or name of the desired plug. Note
that the "/OFF" command can also be entered as "/OF". For example:
/OFF 2 or /OF ROUTER
3. Boot Plug(s): To initiate a Boot cycle, type /BOOT n and press
[Enter]. Where "n" is a the number or name of the desired plug. Note
that the "/BOOT" command can also be entered as "/BO".
For example:
/BOOT 1 or /BO ATMSWTCH
4. Set Plugs to Power Up Defaults: To set each plug to it's user defined
default On/Off status, type /D and press [Enter]. Plugs will be set
to their Power Up Default Status, which is defined using the Plug
Parameters Menu as described in Section 5.3.3.
Note:
• When you have accessed command mode using the System
Password, the Default command will be applied to all IPS outlets.
• When you have accessed command mode using a Plug/User
Password, the Default command will only be applied to the plugs
that are permitted by the password.

5. Suppress Command Confirmation Prompt: To execute a Boot/On/

Off command without displaying the "Sure?" prompt, include the ",Y"
option at the end of the command line. For example:
/ON ROUTER,Y or /BOOT 2,Y

6.2.3. Applying Commands to Several Plugs -

Text Interface
As described below, Boot/On/Off commands can be applied to only one
Switched AC Outlet, or to an assortment of outlets.
Note: When Boot/On/Off operations are initiated, Boot/Sequence
Delay times will be applied as described in Section [Link].
1. Several Plugs: To apply an On / Off / Boot command to several
plugs, enter the numbers or names for the plugs, separated by a "plus
sign" (+). For example to switch plugs 1, 3, and 4 Off, enter the
following:
/OFF 1+3+4 [Enter]
2. Series of Plugs: To apply a command to a series of IPS Plugs, enter
the number for the plugs that mark the beginning and end of the series,
separated by a colon. For example, to switch plugs 1 through 3 On,
enter the following:
/ON 1:3 [Enter]
4. All Plugs: To apply a command to all plugs, enter an asterisk in place
of the name or number. For example, to Boot all plugs, enter the
following:
/BO * [Enter]

6.3. Logging Out of Command Mode

When you have finished communicating with the IPS, it is important
to always disconnect using either the "Log Out" button (Web Browser
Interface) or /X command (Text Interface), rather than simply closing your
browser window or communications program.
When you disconnect using the Log Out button or /X command, this
ensures that the IPS has completely exited from command mode, and is
not waiting for the inactivity timeout period to elapse before allowing
additional connections. This ensures that IPS unit will be available to other
users, and they will not have to wait for the timeout period to elapse before
accessing command mode.

6-6

 Operation

6.4. The Automated Mode

The Automated Mode allows the IPS to execute switching and reboot
commands, without displaying menus or generating response messages.
Automated Mode is designed to allow the IPS to be controlled by a device
which can generate commands to control power switching functions
without human intervention.
When Automated Mode is enabled, the /ON, /OFF, /BOOT, and /X
commands are executed without a "Sure?" confirmation prompt and without
command response messages; the only reply to these commands is the
"IPS>" prompt, which is displayed when the command is complete.
Note that although Automated Mode can be enabled using either the Web
Browser Interface or Text Interface, Automated Mode is designed primarily
for users who wish to send ASCII commands to the IPS without operator
intervention, and therefore does not specifically apply to the Web Browser
Interface. When Automated Mode is enabled, the Web Browser Interface
can still be used to invoke On / Off / Boot commands.
Notes:
• When Automated Mode is enabled, all IPS password security
functions are disabled, and users are able to access System Level
command functions (including the configuration menus) and
control plugs without entering a password.
• If you need to enable the Automated Mode, but want to restrict
network access to IPS configuration menus, it is recommended
to enable and configure the IP Security Function as described in
Section [Link].

To enable/disable the Automated Mode, access the General Parameters

menu (see Section 5.3.1,) then set the "Automated Mode" option to "On".
When Automated Mode is enabled, IPS functions will change as follows:
1. All Password Security Suppressed: When a user attempts to access
command mode, the password prompt will not be displayed at either
the Console / RS232 Port or the Network Port. Unless specifically
restricted by the IP Security Function, all users will be allowed to
access both switching and configuration functions, and all commands
will be immediately accepted without the requirement to enter a
password.
2. Status Screen Suppressed: The status screens will not be
automatically displayed after commands are successfully executed.
Note however, that the /S command can still be invoked to display the
status screen as needed.

6-7

Downloaded from [Link] manuals search engine

 IPS-400 / IPS-400-CE - User’s Guide

3. "Sure?" Prompt Suppressed: All commands are executed without

prompting for user confirmation.
4. Error Messages Suppressed: If the [Enter] key is pressed without
entering a command, the IPS will not respond with the "Invalid
Command" message. Note however, that an error message will still be
generated if commands are invoked using invalid formats
or arguments.
All other status display and configuration commands will still function as
normal.

6.5. Manual Operation

In addition to the command driven functions available via the Web Browser
Interface and Text Interface, the IPS’s switched plugs can also be toggled
On and Off manually. To manually toggle plugs On or Off, press the
Default Button, and hold it down for approximately three seconds.
If desired, the Default Button’s manual plug control ability can also be
disabled via the General Parameters menu as described in Section 5.3.1.

 7. Saving and Restoring
Configuration Parameters

After the IPS has been properly configured, parameters can be downloaded
and saved as an ASCII text file on your local or remote PC. Later, if the
configuration is accidentally altered, the file with the saved parameters
can be uploaded to automatically reconfigure the unit without the need to
manually assign each parameter.
Saved parameters can also be uploaded to other IPS units. This allows
rapid set-up when several units will be configured with the same
parameters.
The "Save Parameters" procedure can be performed from any terminal
emulation program (e.g. ProComm, Crosstalk, Hyperterminal, etc.), which
allows downloading of ASCII files.
Note: Although this function is only available via the Text
Interface, parameters that are defined via the Web Browser Interface
will also be sent to the ASCII file.

7.1. Sending Parameters to a File

1. Start your communications program and access the IPS command
mode using the System Level Password.
2. When the IPS command prompt appears, type /DL and press [Enter].
The IPS will prompt you to prepare your communications program.
Set up your communications program to receive an ASCII download,
and specify a name for the file that will receive the saved parameters
(e.g. [Link]).
3. When the communications program is ready to receive the file, return
to the IPS command mode, and press [Enter] to proceed.
4. The IPS will send a series of ASCII command lines which specify the
currently selected IPS parameters.

 IPS-400 / IPS-400-CE - User’s Guide

7.2. Restoring Saved Parameters

This Section describes the procedure for using ProComm to send saved
parameters to the IPS.
Note: Parameters saved to an ASCII file can only be restored via
the Text Interface. This procedure cannot be performed via the Web
Browser Interface.
1. Start your communications program and access the IPS command
mode via the Text Interface as described in Section 5.2.2.
2. If the Password Prompt is displayed, key in your System Level
Password and press [Enter].
3. Configure your communications program to upload an ASCII text file.
4. Upload the file with the saved parameters. If necessary, key in the file
name and directory path.
5. When the upload is complete, make certain to terminate the
communications program’s upload mode.
Note:
• The current On/Off status of each IPS plug will not be saved or
restored. However, the selected default On/Off setting for each
plug will be saved and restored.
• When the configuration file is sent to the IPS via telnet, the unit’s
IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address will not be
changed until after you exit from command mode.

At this point, saved parameters should have been restored to the IPS unit.
Check the Plug Status Screen, General Parameters Menu, Plug Parameters
Menu and Network Parameters Menu to make certain that saved parameters
have been accurately restored.

 8. Upgrading the IPS Firmware

When new, improved versions of the IPS firmware become available, the
"Upgrade Firmware" function can be used to update the unit. Updates can be
installed via the Console Port or Network Port.
Notes:
• The upgrade procedure can only be performed via the Text Interface.
• All other network ports will be disabled during the firmware
upgrade procedure.
• When the upgrade procedure is complete, all parameters will be set
to their default states. Therefore, it is recommended to save IPS
configuration parameters to an ASCII file (as described in Section 7)
before beginning this upgrade procedure.

1. Obtain the update file. Firmware modifications can either be mailed to

the customer on a CDR, or downloaded from WTI. Place the upgrade
CDR in your disk drive or copy the file to your hard drive.
2. Access the IPS command mode via the Text Interface. When the
password prompt is displayed, key in the System Level Password.
3. When the command prompt appears, type /U and press [Enter]. The
IPS will display a screen which offers the following options:
• 1. Upgrade Sector 0
• 2. Upgrade Sectors 1 - 4
• 3. Upgrade Sectors 5 - 7
• 4. Abort Upgrade

Note: Instructions regarding the proper Sector option will be supplied

when upgrades become available.
Select the Sector Option indicated for the upgrade and press [Enter], or
type 4 [Enter] to abort the upgrade procedure.

8-1

Downloaded from [Link] manuals search engine

 IPS-400 / IPS-400-CE - User’s Guide

4. Set your communication program for ASCII Mode, then use the
program’s “Send File” function to transfer the upgrade file to the IPS.
Select ASCII format, then specify the filename and directory location
where the firmware upgrade file resides.
5. If the upload is successful, the IPS will load the upgrade firmware into
memory, and then reboot itself.
Note: If you are performing the upgrade procedure via the Network
Port, the IPS will break the network connection when the system is
reinitialized. However, the IPS will retain the current settings for the
IP Address, the Telnet Port Number, Web Server Port Number and
Console Port Mode and Baud Rate.
6. Incomplete Upload: If the upload is interrupted, times-out, or if the
update file becomes corrupted during transfer, the IPS will display a
screen which asks for confirmation before proceeding. To proceed, type 1
and press [Enter], then return to Step 4 above to retry the upload, or press
[Esc] to reboot the IPS unit.
7. Recovery Mode: In the rare event that the IPS operating system becomes
corrupted during installation, front panel indicators will blink, and the
unit will automatically switch to Recovery Mode. If the unit switches to
Recovery Mode, first access the IPS command mode to reset the Console
Port to 9600 bps, Eight Data Bits, No Parity, One Stop Bit, and then
return to step 3 above and repeat the upload procedure.

When firmware upgrades are available, WTI will provide the necessary files
via download or mailed CDROM. At that time, an updated Users Guide or
addendum will also be available.
