3. Installation

• It is strongly recommended to avoid damp or wet places for installation.
• EG-PMS2-WLAN should be connected to the European AC wall socket of the standard DIN 49 440.

3.1. Getting started

• Screw the supplied antenna into the antenna socket of EG-PMS2-WLAN.
• Connect EG-PMS2-WLAN to the wall socket.
• EG-PMS2-WLAN can now be switched on and off by means of the Main rocker switch (Z).
• Two (the first and the last) sockets of EG-PMS2-WLAN are marked with the symbol. These two sockets are switched on and off by means of the Main rocker switch (Z) and cannot be managed by the computer – so they are called non-manageable sockets in this manual.
• If EG-PMS2-WLAN is switched on then the red indicator POWER is lit. In this case both non-manageable sockets are now live and connected to the power supply.
• The sockets: Socket 1, Socket 2, Socket 3 and Socket 4 can be managed or pre-programmed by computer via LAN. They are called manageable sockets in this manual.
• The manageable sockets of EG-PMS2-WLAN can be programmed to be on or off. The current status of each manageable socket is represented by the corresponding indicator which will be lit if socket has power to it.
• If the Main rocker switch (Z) (see Figure #1 above) is turned off then the manageable sockets cannot be switched on by either web server, Power manager software or the hardware schedule.

- As soon as you turn the Main rocker switch (Z) on then the web server, Power manager software or the hardware schedule will be able to turn the manageable sockets on and off.

- Master switch button (B) (see Figure #2 above) can also switch all the manageable sockets on and off regardless of their current status or schedule that is being executed. To switch them on you should keep the button pressed for 1-2 seconds. To switch them off you should keep the button pressed for more than 3 seconds.

- To protect the connected devices from possible high current and short circuit EG-PMS2-WLAN is equipped with the automatic circuit breaker.

- NOTE: If the total power consumption (or peak power) of the devices, connected to EG-PMS2-WLAN exceeds 2500 Watts, the circuit breaker may power EG-PMS2-WLAN off. In this case, please, remove the excessive load first and then (after 2-3 minutes) press the main rocker switch (Z) to restore the power supply (see Figure #3 above). To be able to use EG-PMS2-WLAN you will now have to complete its WLAN configuration.

3.2. Power Manager software installation

For EG-PMS2-WLAN to connect to your wireless router you should configure it first. To do that, please, follow the steps below:

• For the configuration you will have to use any PC which is located within the reach of your wireless network.
• Insert the Power Manager CD into the PC CD-ROM drive.
• If for any reason the automatic setup does not work, then open CD-ROM drive in the My Computer window and launch SETUP.EXE from the CD
• If your laptop does not have CD-ROM player, just download the latest software from www.energenie.com
• Follow instructions of the WLAN Config software (see below).

3.3. WLAN and local network configuration

After software installation the WLAN Config utility will be started. Once it appears on the screen, power your EG-PMS2-WLAN on and connect it to the PC with the supplied USB cable. The device status will change to "Device is found" (see Figure #4 below).

To configure the device you will need to know the parameters of your WLAN router: network name (SSID), authentication type and password (Network key). These are the same parameters you also use when connecting your PC to your WiFi network. Input these parameters into the

corresponding fields in the WLAN config window, then press the "Configure" button.

Figure # 4

The configuration might take some time - wait until it is completed. If you see a string “Connected to SSID:” (as shown on Figure #5 below) it means that the connection to the wireless router has been successful.

and at 14:30:15 it will be switched off. Last two events will be executed each day staring from the 10 ^th of July.

Below the page you can see the current time of the web-server and eventual information about the last successful timer synchronization. Automatic timer synchronization is used if Use NTP for timer correction option is enabled (see section 4.6 below).

NOTE: If a certain socket has a switching fault, e.g. it should be switched on but the whole device is switched off, or it should be off but it does have voltage, then the warning message Wrong voltage on socket! will be shown above the Event schedule (see Figure #9 above). This message might also indicate that this socket is defective.

For setting up the socket schedule click Set schedule button. You will face then the page shown below (see Figure #10).

Figure # 10

Choose the date and time of the scheduled event. If you wish the events to be executed periodically then check the Loop option and set the

loop period. To commit to your changes press the Apply button. To delete the entered schedule press the Clear schedule button.

NOTE: The hardware schedule keeps running even when the device is powered off. However it is recommended not to power off the device for longer than 1 week, because the built-in battery might get discharged then. In this case the internal clock of the device would be reset and as result some schedule events would not be executed. Besides all the sockets would lose their previous status (they will be switched on). In case of an empty battery, just leave the device switched on for one day to fully charge the battery again.

4.4. Socket Name settings page

On the Socket name settings page (see Figure #11 below) you can assign an applicable name to your sockets. These names will be shown on EnerGenie page (see section 4.2 above) as well as on the Socket pages (see section 4.3 above).

NOTE: The socket names can not be longer than 11 characters.

HINT: Call your socket by the device which is attached to this socket. For example call Socket 1 – TV set if your TV is connected to this socket.

On the LAN settings page (see Figure #12 above) you can set up DHCP, IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway, DNS server and IP filter (up to 3 IP addresses can then be enabled for remote access).

The new settings will be applied immediately after you press the Apply button.

IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway, DNS server will be used only if the DHCP option is disabled.

If you set DHCP option it is recommended for your own convenience to set up your DHCP server so that it always provides the same IP address to EG-PMS2-WLAN. To do that you will need to know the MAC address of EG-PMS2-WLAN. It can be found on this page or on the bottom sticker of the device. The MAC address is fixed and cannot be changed.

DNS server address is important to be properly set up in case you wish to enable the NTP timer correction option (see section 4.6 below).

IP filter option is needed to prevent unauthorized access to the server. It restricts the web server access from any computer with IP address different from IP1, IP2 and IP3. Make sure that you input IP1, IP2, and IP3 correctly before enabling this option.

Power Manager client port is used for connecting with the Power Manager software, normally it is not needed to change this setting.

Network mode can be AP mode (device is connected to the wireless router) or Ad-Hoc mode (device might be connected to another WLAN-enabled device in this mode).

Wireless Network Name (SSID) is the name of network, it can be set manually or via the WLAN Configuration utility.

Authentication should correspond to the settings of your wireless router in AP mode. It can be set to WEP64, WEP128, WPA-TKIP, WPA2-AES. With WEP64 or WEP128 authentication modes, you might additionally have to choose the Key index (from 1 to 4, usually 1), which corresponds to that key (pass phrase).

Pass phrase is a password or key, depending on the Authentication type. For WPA-TKIP, WPA2-AES it has to be at least 8 characters long.

4.6. Device settings page

On the device settings page you can setup name, password and internal time of EG-PMS2-WLAN (see Figure #13 below).

Figure # 13

Device settings

All brands and logos are registered trademarks of their respective owners

To be able to setup the schedule of EG-PMS2-WLAN you have to first setup its internal clock correctly. Enter the current local time and date.

Alternatively if the option Use NTP for timer correction is enabled (by default) then the time will be taken from NTP server. The device will try to connect with the server every 18 hours. The first synchronization would take place in 15 seconds after you press the Apply button.

NTP server field should have a valid name of NTP server (by default "pool.ntp.org"). If for any reason the NTP time correction doesn't work you can choose the best NTP server for your country via the website www.pool.ntp.org.

NOTE: for NTP time correction to work properly the device should have access to the Internet and have a proper DNS server setting (see section 4.5 above).

Server name can be convenient to identify the web server if you have more than one EG-PMS2-WLAN. It is “Server 1” by default.

The password is necessary to access EG-PMS2-WLAN both from your web browser and the Power Manager software (see section 6 below). This password is case-sensitive and can be up to 32 characters long. Alphanumeric characters and spaces are allowed to be entered. Only the first eight characters of the password are used to access the device with the Power Manager software. You will need to enter this password in the Add LAN device window (see section 7 below).

The Power Manager software accesses EG-PMS2-WLAN via a certain client port (by default 5000). You can change this port to any other except port 80 which is always occupied by the web server.

Don't forget to push the Apply button to save your settings.

4.7. Web-server logout

Having finished working with EG-PMS2-WLAN, choose Log Out in the main menu. If you don't do this, you will be logged automatically after 10 minutes of inactivity. While you are logged to the web server, it can't be accessed from any other computer. If another user tries to access the web server which is running an active session the error message will be shown on the login page: Somebody with another IP has already logged in. Try again later. In the meantime the Power Manager software (see section 6) can still access the EG-PMS2-WLAN.

8. Managing EG-PMS2-WLAN via your own software

To let you switch the sockets from your own applications the following command line interface syntax is supported:

- pm.exe -[on | off] -device name -socket name

Examples:

• "C:\Program Files\Energenie\Power Manager\pm.exe" -on -My EnerGenie -Socket1
• "E:\Utils\PM3\pm.exe" -off -My EnerGenie -Table lamp
• Execute pm.exe with -info key (pm.exe -info) to get the complete information about the status of the current devices.

For each of the connected devices the following information will then be provided and placed into Info.ini file in the Power Manager folder:

• DeviceName - the user specified device name
• Socket#name, where # is replaced by a certain socket number - the user specified socket name

- Socket#SwitchState, where # is replaced by a certain socket number - TRUE, when the socket is switched on, FALSE, when the socket is switched off

- Socket#VoltageState, where # is replaced by a certain socket number - TRUE, when voltage presence on the socket is detected, FALSE, when there is no voltage on the socket;

Example:

NOTE: Each use of this command line option totally overrides the data in Info.ini file.

NOTE: Power Manager should be active.

9. EG-PMS2-WLAN SDK

For advanced users we offer a software development kit (SDK) to manage the device. Check the SDK manual in SDK folder on the supplied CD to get more information about it, or download the latest SDK from www.energenie.com.
