SIS-PM / SiS-PM-841 / SIS-PMS User Manual
1. Introduction and features of the SiS-PM/SiS-PM-841/SiS-PMS
Congratulations on purchasing the Silver shield Power Manager. Your SiS-PM or SiS-
PMS (hereinafter SiS-PM(S)) is an advanced surge protector with power management
features. Four sockets are individually manageable from the computer via the USB port
interface.
E.g. can be switched on/off, by timer schedule, or triggered by user or different
events. It is also possible to pre-program the unit event timer schedule and then
disconnect the SiS-PM(S) from the computer (hardware schedule) and use it elsewhere.
Additionally the hardware event schedule will work even with the managing computer
switched off.
SiS-PM
Power manager software has the following main features:
•
Manual on and off switching of every socket via the software control window;
•
Switching sockets on and off according to the timer schedule of events, typical
applications include: “switch my peripherals on every working day at 8:50AM” etc
•
Switching sockets on and off when a certain event occurs (Windows or other
programs startup/shutdown), typical applications include: “switch my scanner on
when I want to scan” or “switch my printer off whenever I exit Windows”
•
The unit can be assigned a network name as a shared LAN resource and can
afterwards be accessed and managed from anywhere within the local area network.
•
Preprogramming of the hardware-based event time schedule. The hardware
schedule will work even with the managing computer switched off provided that the
is connected to the optional power adapter. The unit will keep performing the
hardware time schedule even when the SiS-PM is temporarily switched off.
•
Voltage monitor
•
The software management supports any number of SiS-PM, SiS-PMS and MSiS-PM
connected to the computer.
•
Management of SiS-PM(S) via the LAN and Internet.
•
Command line interface support for user software applications is also possible.
SiS-PMS
is an advanced surge protector with power management features. Four
sockets are individually manageable from the computer via the USB port interface on
the SiS-PMS. E.g. can be switched on/off, by timer schedule, or triggered by user or
different on-screen-software events (like: switch on my scanner if I start image editing
software, or switch on security lights and alarm when my webcam software detects
motion in the image)
It is also possible to pre-program a timer schedule and then disconnect the SiS-PMS
from the computer (hardware schedule) and use it else where. This hardware event
schedule will work even when the connected computer is switched off. The Built-in
transformer of SiS-PMS makes this possible.
SiS-PM-841
lets your external hardware (such as KVM switches *) control SiS-PM-
841 sockets, read the voltage being on the sockets through the PM interface.
SiS-PM-841 let’s you make a chain with 10 devices connected to one another to be
controlled by external hardware (for example - by KVM switches *)
* Supported models of KVM switches: CAS-441-PM, CAS-841-PM
