1. CONNECTION 
 
Connect the IPower Control unit to the mains and to your Ethernet network. There are eight 
LEDs at the front of the unit which relate to the switching state of the ports. When using the 
IPower Control for the first time all LEDs will simultaneously light up red.  
 
When reconnecting the IPower Control to a power supply the LEDs will light up successively 
(during this procedure the IPower Control is not available via a web browser). Depending on 
the ports switching state the LEDs will illuminate red (port is switched off) or green (port is 
switched on). If the IPower Control is additionally connected to an existing Ethernet network a 
green LED next to the LAN input will illuminate.   
 
An IP address must be allocated to the IPower Control in order for it to switch via Ethernet. The 
IP address must belong to the desired sub network. The allocation can be accomplished either 
manually or automatically by a DHCP server (see 2.1 below). For manual allocation under 
Windows, we recommend the program IPCnet_conf.exe
*1 
(see 2.2). 
 
After modifying the IP settings the IPower Control can be switched by all PCs on the same 
network via the website of the IPower Control.  
 
2. IP SETTINGS 
 
2.1 Allocation by DHCP 
 
If there is a DHCP server available on the network an unused IP address will be allocated 
automatically each time the IPower Control is connected. This option can be disabled (see 
section 6)
 
or modified by appropriate configuration of the DHCP server.  
 
2.2 Allocation via software
*1
 (Windows only)  
 
 
Start the IPower Control in boot 
mode (see section 7) and launch 
the  IPCnet_conf.exe  program. 
The program will automatically 
search for connected devices 
and display their IP settings. If 
the displayed IP address 
matches the default setting 
(192.168.0.2) there is either no 
DHCP server available or no 
unused IP address could be 
allocated. 
 
Enter an unused IP address and the gateway of the desired sub network. Save changes with 
Program Device/SaveConfig
 
After changing the network settings the IPower Control must be restarted
*2 
in normal mode 
(see section 7). After restarting click on Search in order to display the modified settings.

*2 Restart means unplug and then re-plug the IPower Control to the mains.
