ADVANCED OPERATIONS
VT1512-IP Advanced Operation
The VT1512-IP has an embedded web page for users that wish to use the VT1512-IP on a LAN. The embedded webpage displays the units’ serial number, ethernet address (MAC ID),
firmware version, bootcode version and brand and model number. To find the VT1512-IP IP address, you can claim the device in BlueBOLT one time and look under Device ADMIN for the IP
address or you can use your networking devices. In some cases, your ISP modem may be equipped with a tool to locate the IP address of the VT1512-IP.
Status
The
Status
screen shows you the integrity of the power:
Voltage
,
Amperage
,
Wattage
,
Power Factor
and
Power VA
. The
Conditions
screen displays the
Power Condition
(detailed below), whether the
Breaker
is "opened" or "closed" and if the
Voltage Monitoring
is working.
Power Condition States
Normal
= Input voltage is within range
Undervoltage
= The voltage is so low that the over/under voltage load disconnect has engaged and all outlets are off.
Overvoltage
= The voltage is so high that the over/under voltage load disconnect has engaged and all outlets are off.
Recovery
= Recovery
1.
Recovering from an over/under voltage load disconnect condition
2.
Recovering after the breaker has been tripped and reset
3.
Recovering after the switch has been turned off and turned on again or a power cycle
4.
Recovery will also be stated when the unit is plugged into a live AC source.
Voltage Monitor States
Voltage Monitor
= okay – voltage is within a safe range
Voltage Monitor
= fault
1.
Either the over/under voltage load disconnect has engaged and all outlets are off.
2.
The breaker was tripped turning all outlets off
3.
The power switch was turned off, turning all outlets off.
Controls
The
Controls
screens allows you to see which outlet(s) is On or Off. It allows you to sequence the unit On and Off or cycle group. You can turn all outlets On sequentially as programmed and
Off immediately (no sequence).
Configuration
The
Configuration
screen is used to set up your password protection, set the IP as
Static
or
DHCP
(default) and configure advanced device settings.
The
Advanced Device
settings allow you to program which outlets get sequenced, program which outlets are part of a group cycle and sequence delays.
The VT1512-IP can be interfaced with Control and Automation systems on the local area network. All messages are encapsulated in standard XML format and are sent and received over UDP
port 57010. The XML version declaration,
<?xml version=”1.0” ?>
, is at the beginning of each message. Each message must have a single root element. Messages that do not conform to
the standard will be ignored. A convenient way to test messages is the “netcat” tool, available for Windows 10, Linux and Unix.
<?xml version=”1.0” ?><device class=”vt1512” id=”1065a3050000”>…</device>
The root element for all messages is named "device". The device element must have two attributes, "class" and "id". The class attribute specifies the type of device (model) and must be
“vt1512”. The "id" attribute is the unique device ID (its Ethernet MAC address), expressed with lower case letters and no formatting. For example:
<device class=”vt1512” id=”1065a3051970”>
