[ENG] [2PWR,v2SMS] Connecting, Installing, and Initial Configuration of a Device

The page has photos of a NetPing 2/PWR-220 v2/SMS device in the text.

To prepare a device for operation, do the next:

1. Take a device out of the box and install on a horizontal surface.

2. Plug a GSM antenna to a device and locate it in the place of a reliable reception of the cell operator's signal (for a NetPing 2/PWR-220 v2/SMS device with a built-in GSM modem). The availability of a signal can be controlled using a cell phone according to the number of segments in the power indicator on a display of the phone.

3. Insert a SIM card until the click in a corresponding jack on a front panel of a device (for a NetPing 2/PWR-220 v2/SMS device with a built-n GSM modem). Please, pay attention so that a SIM card is turned contacts up.

A NetPing 2/PWR-220 v2/SMS device is designed to work with SIM-cards of GSM operators and cannot work with the R-UIM cards of CDMA standard (Skylink).

A SIM-card must be installed only in a de-energized NetPing 2/PWR-220 v2/SMS device.

4. Plug the equipment, power of which must be controlled, to «PWR» sockets on a back panel of a device. To make a connection convenient, use the «monitor  system unit» cords or an adapter to connect PWR-220. Cords and adapters are not included into a shipping kit and can be purchased separately if necessary.

5. Plug external sensors to a device (see the details in the section «Plugging External Sensors») and/or a load.

External sensors and/or load can be plugged only to a de-energized device.

6. Plug a device to a power supply network.

Important!  A device is designed to be connected to a power supply network with the voltage of 110V - 220V and a frequency of 50/60 Hz. Do not plug a device to power supply networks with other parameters!

In the process of a device initialiation, LEDs blink several times indicating switching on of a device, and then will be glowing constantly.

7. Connect a device to the office Ethernet network to any free Ethernet port of a switch.

The second Ethernet port may be used to plug any Ethernet devices including other NetPing devices, in a «chain».

A device is connected and ready to work.

A device that has been purchased right now or a device for which a procedure of resetting parameters to default values has been performed (see «Resetting Parameters to Default Values»), requires the initial configuration of network addresses and parameters of load control. After this, a device can be installed into an existing network. Its further configuration may be performed by using a remote access to a device. More detailed information about a configuration can be found in the document «Firmware description». Where to Get a Document with a Firmware Description?

Important! It is not recommended to connect real network and computer equipment to power sockets at the first switching on and familiarizing with the operation logic of a device. Frequent cycles of switching on/off may cause equipment failure. During the time of familiarizing with a device, it is possible to conect an indifferent load (for example, a table lamp) to power sockets or track a power supply status on power sockets by glowing of corresponding LEDs.
