Setting the IP address using CLI
Connect to the iBootBar for initial setup using the Command Line Interface (CLI) to set the IP Address. You will need to be on the
same local subnet (192.168.0.xxx) to perform the initial configuration.
These are the basic commands to set the network parameters. After setting these parameters, the iBootBar will need to be rebooted
for the settings to take effect. Any command that requires rebooting of the iBootBar will provide a prompt to do so. All commands
may be entered as required before rebooting.
Example: Telnet to default IP address 192.168.0.254
iBootBar Rev 1.5a.276
User Name: admin

Serial Port
The iBootBar has a 9 pin D subminiature connector for RS-232
serial control. The connector is configured as DCE for direct
connection to a laptop or other terminal device. Default serial
parameters are 115,200 bps, 8 data, no parity, 1 stop bit
(115200,8,n,1). Flow control is not used.
Web Browser Control
The iBootBar web interface provides the easiest
means of operating the outlets and monitoring the
current status of the units. One or more outlets can
be simultaneously controlled with a few mouse clicks.
In cluster configurations, all 128 outlets can be
managed from the web pages.
To Control any of the outlets, Click on the checkbox
next to one or more outlets, then click the desired
new status, On Off or Cycle.
When Cycle is selected, the outlet(s) will cycle for
the amount of time set in the Cycle box. When mor
e than one outlet is controlled to turn on, there will
be a delay between outlets turning on, as set by the
Delay box.
