Power control portThe.AdderView.CATx.IP.models.provide.a.serial.port.for.connection.to.one.or.more.optional.power.control.units..This.allows.you.to.control.the.mains.power.being.supplied.to.the.connected.computer(s).so.that.an.authorised.user.can,.if.necessary,.perform.a.complete.remote.cold.reboot.on.a.failed.system.The.control.connector.of.the.first.power.switch.is.attached,.via.serial.cable,.to.the.rear.panel.of.the.AdderView.CATx.IP..Any.additional.power.switches.are.then.attached.via.a.‘daisy-chain’.arrangement.to.the.first.power.switch..Each.power.switch.box.is.then.given.a.unique.address.and.access.to.each.power.port.(8.ports.on.each.power.switch.box).is.gained.using.a.combination.of.the.switch.box.address.and.the.port.number..To connect and address the switch boxesNote: The AdderView CATx IP unit can be powered on during this procedure,however, the switch boxes should be switched off.1. Mount.up.to.four.switch.boxes.in.positions.where.they.are.close.to.the.computer.systems.that.they.will.control.and.not.too.distant.from.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.unit.(preferably.within.2.5.metres).2. Use.a.serial.cable.with.an.RJ9.and.a.9-pin.D-type.connector.(see.Appendix7.for.specification)..Attach.the.RJ9.plug.to.the.socket.marked.IN.on.the.first.switch.box..Attach.the.other.end.to.the.socket.marked.POWER CONTROL.on.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.Power to computerBox , port - address: Box Box Box Box Powerswitchboxes‘Daisy-chain’controlconnectionsThe.power.ports.are.connected.to.the.power.inputs.of.each.computer.system.and.the.power.switch.box(es).are.then.connected.to.a.mains.power.supply.IMPORTANT: Power switching devices have a maximum current rating. It isessential to ensure that the total current drawn by the equipment connectedto the power switching device does not exceed the current rating of the powerswitching device. You must also ensure that the current drawn from any mainssocket does not exceed the current rating of the mains socket.Setting.up,.configuring.and.using.power.switching.requires.three.main.steps:•. Connect.and.address.the.switch.boxes.•. Configure the power strings•. Operate.power.switching.via configuration menu.or.via viewer3. For.each.of.the.remaining.switch.boxes.(if.used),.use.a.serial.cable.with.RJ9.connectors.at.both.ends.(see.Appendix 7.for.specification)..Attach.one.end.to.the.socket.marked.OUT.of.the.previous.box.and.the.other.end.to.the.socket.marked.IN.of.the.next.box..4.
