ePower
Switch
8
Master/Slave
ePowerSwitch-8
was designed to remotely switch on, off
and reboot the power supply of electric device through an
Ethernet 10Base-T network.
Equipped with a Web server, ePowerSwitch-M8 Master is
used to control its 8 socket-outlets as those of one to four
ePowerSwitch-S8 (Slave), from a Web navigator. Up to 40
electric device can be controlled through only one IP address.
You have thus a modular, economic and compact system.
EPowerSwitch-S8 Slave is also an economical way of
controlling up to 32 power outlets via an ASCII protocol
through the RS232 serial connection.

Appendix
Serial connection protocol
The serial port of the ePowerSwitch-S8 enables to switch on or off the sockets and to
get their status.
1. Use a RJ9/SubD9 serial cable (Neol part number 21-00214) to connect the
ePowerSwitch-S8 to an available serial port on your computer.
2. Run a terminal program such as Windows HyperTerminal.
3. Configure the appropriate serial port with the following settings:
9.600 bps, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
4. From your computer, type the commands as specified below.
Serial Port Settings
Pin 2 = TxD (transmit data to PC)
Pin 3 = RxD (receive commands)
Pin 5 = GnD
9.600 bps
no parity
8 data bits
1 stop bit
no flow control
Get the state of the sockets
Send to ePowerSwitch-S8:
Rxy[CR]
=> ePowerSwitch-S8 responds: Pxy=z[CR]
x = ePowerSwitch address (1,2,3,4)
y = Socket Number (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
z = State:
1
on
0
off
[CR] = Carriage Return = 0D hexadecimal = 13 decimal
Example:
Get the status of socket 8 / ePowerSwitch 2:
R28[CR]
Command the state of the sockets
Send to ePowerSwitch-S8: Pxy=z[CR]
=> ePowerSwitch-S8 responds: Pxy=z[CR]
x = Device address (1,2,3,4)
y = Socket Number (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) or 0 for all sockets
z = Command :
1
on
0
off
t
toggle
r
restart
[CR] = Carriage Return = 0D hexadecimal = 13 decimal
Example:
Switch "ON" the socket 6 of ePowerSwitch 3:
P36=1[CR]
