Ethernet Power Controller 5

Power-On Sequence Delay
When a time value is entered in the
All ON Sequence Delay
fi eld,
the power controller will pause for a period of time before switching
each outlet on in sequence. This delay helps prevent power
surges and blown circuit breakers which can occur when multiple
devices are switched on simultaneously. A delay of 60 seconds is
suggested for server applications. This delay time is also used in
the Cycle function.
You may also enter a screen refresh delay in this section. If
Enable
screen refresh
is checked, and a delay value is entered, your
browser should periodically update the status screen.
Wrong Password Lockout
After three failed login attempts, the switch can disable access for
a selected period of time (0-60 Minutes).
Power Loss Recovery Modes
The power loss recovery mode setting has a very important setting
that determines operation after a power failure:
1. Turn all outlets off (all systems will be switched off until
manually turned on later, possibly by a script).
2. You can automatically turn all outlets on using the
sequence delay timer described above.
3. You can return to the same outlet settings that were
used prior to the power loss. ie. 1 On, 2 Off, etc. The ON
Sequency delay timer is used here as well.
Note: If you have written a power-on script, the recovery mode
takes effect before script execution begins. Scripts start after self-
test, approximately 30 seconds after power-up.
