POWER-ON SEQUENCING / CYCLING
Sequence / Cycle Delay:
Entering a time delay in this field will cause all outputs to be enabled in
sequence when the
Enable All Outputs
button is pressed on the
Status & Control
page, rather than
enabling all outputs simultaneously. This delay helps prevent power surges that can occur when too
many devices are turned on at the same time. The time delay before each output is enabled can be set
to a value between 0 and 60 seconds. If the Power Cycle option is enabled for any outputs, this field
also sets the Power Cycle time delay.
Reverse Sequence Order: I
f this box is checked, the outputs will be enabled in reverse sequence
(Output #12 first, Output #1 last) when the
Enable All Outputs
button is pressed on the
Status &
Control
page.
NETWORK WATCHDOG
Watchdog Enabled:
Checking this box will enable the Network Watchdog feature. The Network
Watchdog will periodically Ping a remote IP address to check the network connection status. If the
remote IP address stops responding, the Panel will power-cycle any outputs that have the
Power Cycle
option enabled. This feature is useful for rebooting a modem or router following a crash that has
resulted in loss of IP connectivity. For the Network Watchdog to work, at least one output must have the
Power Cycle
option enabled, and a time delay must be entered in the
Sequence / Cycle Delay
field.
IP Address:
Enter the remote IP address you would like to monitor. This field is optional; if left blank,
the Network Watchdog will instead monitor the Gateway IP address listed on the
Network Setup
page.
Watchdog Timeout:
Enter the time duration, in minutes, that the remote IP address must stop
responding to Ping requests before the Network Watchdog will trigger and power-cycle outputs. The
default setting is 10 minutes. The Watchdog Timeout can be changed to anything between 1 and 80
minutes. Make sure that the Watchdog Timeout value is set longer than the time it takes for your
network hardware to fully start up.
Send Watchdog E-mails:
If this box is checked, an e-mail notification will be sent after the Network
Watchdog triggers and the network connection has come back online. The e-mail settings on the
Network Setup
page must be configured correctly before e-mail notifications can be sent.
DATA LOGGING
Data Logging:
Allows you to enable data logging. With data logging enabled, the panel will record the
system voltage, system current, output currents, and fuse status at a sample rate of 1 sample per
minute. To view the log while data logging is enabled, click on the
Download Log button
next to the
data logging dialog box. This will download the log in Comma Separated Values (CSV) format, which can
be opened by most spreadsheet software applications such as Microsoft Excel. The log will hold up to
30 hours of data, with oldest log entries at the top of the log file.
