WHAT IS IT?
Additionally, software is available that can automatically RESET the host server
or the network equipment (modems routers, gateways, etc.). This is accomplished by
running the software on a Windows based server and allowing that server to send a RESET
command (through the USB port) to the U-X1 based on failed ping responses or a failed
Heartbeat signal from the server itself (hung). This may also be embedded into your
application programs.
Each U-X1 supports input AC voltages from 110VAC to 250VAC. It uses internationally standard
IEC320 AC connectors. This combination allows it to be used anywhere in the world with
locally available power cords. Various AC power cords as well as a Universal Adapter
that provides connections for any type of AC Plug in the world are also available.
Be sure to order the appropriate power cords separately or supply your own.
THE HARDWARE
The front panel supports three multi-function connectors. A USB connector and two
RJ-11 connectors, any of which can be used to configure the unit or to send the
ON/OFF/RESET power control commands locally depending on the application. The RJ-11s also
provide the connection for a standard telephone line for remote control and they are also
used for the RS-232 and Upstream Downstream connections as well as to connect other external
CPS controllers or Base Units.
SETUP PREFERENCES
Example:
HOW IT CAN BE CONTROLLED?
Remote Control over a standard telephone line is provided through the Ring
Count RESET feature (standard). This feature simply counts the rings and RESETS once the
ring threshold is reached. Other internal and external Remote Controllers are also available.
Scroll down.
Our new (optional) Internal Touch Tone Option (ITTO) is also available. It
provides direct touch tone control from any standard land or cell based phone. It has a
multi-level password and allows the ON/OFF/RESET commands as well as inquires to be sent
using any land or cell based phone. It can also share the line with other devices and
allows some of the set up preferences to be changed as well. The commands may also be
appended to a modem's AT dial string for more automated entry, even though there is no
modem at the U-X1 end. Multiple ITTOs/U-X1s may also be connected to the same phone line.
If you are considering direct touch tone control, do consider this really neat option.
External Remote Controllers are also available to provide additional methods of
remote access.
Automatic control
Auto Ping is used to RESET network equipment
(modems, routers, gateways, firewalls etc.). It pings outside addresses through the target devices and
RESETS them if the return pings are not detected. You can assign two IP addresses for each ping device.
Heartbeat is used to monitor the server,
connected to the USB or RS-232 serial port on the U-X1. It will RESET one AC JACK on the U-X1
if serial transmission from the server is not detected within a prescribed time. A DLL is also
available to help incorporate the heartbeat into your application if required.
Serial Net allows the serial Control Commands to be sent
to the remote location "Control PC/server" over a TCP/IP network.
FLEXIBILITY Wow!
Or use the External IP Controller (N-RRC) as your primary method of AC power control, but
when the network equipment is down, you can rely on the Auto Ping to automatically reset it
or use the "out of band" touch-tone option or Ring count RESET feature to reset the Router
modem etc.
AC Power Command Examples
A typical serial port command to RESET POWER on Box #2: *013
If this were sent as a touch-tone command through an External Telephone Line Controller, it would
be preceded with the controller #, Password (up to six numbers), and the Port number of the Controller
(multi-port units) that the UX-1 is attached to:
The U-X1 a very flexible AC power control device that can be used to control the AC
power anywhere in the world. Control can be initiated LOCALLY (through the RS-232 or
USB port of a PC) or REMOTELY using the built in Ring Count RESET Trigger or any of
the optional CPS Remote Controllers (Touch Tone, IP or Cell Controllers). Up to 99
U-X1s can be daisy chained, using standard six-wire phone cable, up to 1500' apart
and controlled from one control source locally or remotely.
See Below.
The U-X1 has one Input IEC320-C13 AC Jack and one "Controlled" IEC320-C14
Output AC jack along with a 15 Amp circuit breaker. The back panel also has
a manual control push button switch. It can also be wired to operate remotely up to
3000' away with the Remote Push Button option.
The operating parameters can also be changed to meet various requirements. The, reset delay
time power ON delay, power up state, ring count etc... These preferences are normally
entered through the USB or serial ports with simple ASCII commands from a PC.
*PD5 Would change the power restoral time to 15 min.
See instructions for a complete list. Once the setup preferences are defined, any
ON/OFF/RESET command or manual power ON/OFF will be executed accordingly. You can
also make inquires as to the setup preferences. They are confirmed by local on screen
replies or audible "beeps" over the phone line if using a TelCo Controller.
*PR2 would change the OFF time for a RESET to 20 seconds.
Local Control from a PC is provided through a USB port or the Serial/TelCo
port (adapter required). The local PC can send simple ON/OFF/RESET Commands to the desired
AC Jacks on a single unit or all of the units in a daisy chain. See Command Examples below.
Touch-Tone Controller (SP-RRC), is used when sharing the TelCo line with a modem or to
control an entire daisy chain of U-X1s without the ITTO option.
Multi-Port Controller (MP-RRC), is use to connect several UX-1s in multiple daisy chains
(3 or 8 port models), and control them with Touch-tones.
IP Controller (N-RRC), use for remote control over the Internet or any TCP/IP network.
Cell Controller (C-RC) is used where no phone line or network access is available. Text
or e-mail the AC Power Commands to the U-X1s.
Other controllers are also available, but these are the more popular.
Control with FREE Automatic Software Control utilities that run on a local PC (Windows OS and a
USB or serial port is required).
You can use any of these methods as your primary method of control and one or more of the
others as backup. As an example, use the Heartbeat software to automatically reset the
server and the telephone line touch tone or Ring Reboot feature to turn the server ON or
OFF or force a RESET from a remote location.
These examples are presented to provide a feel for the simplicity as to what is required to send an
AC Power Command via: a Serial (RS-232/USB) Port, External Controller, Modem
or the Internal Touch Tone Controller (ITTO).
Where "*" is the attention code, "01" is the box address and "3" is the "Action Command" ("1" = ON,
"2" = OFF and "3" = RESET). Use "Hyper Term" or other terminal emulation programs to send these
ASCII commands.
This could also be sent from a modem by appending it to the AT dial string. Even though there may not be a modem at the UX-1 end.
Wild card and Global Commands are also available.
Example:
*PON this "global Command" will turn ON one or all of the units in a daisy chain according to the delays applied in the setupTo send this command via Touch-Tones to the Internal Controller (ITTO) enter
*POF will turn them all OFF
*##1 This "wild card Command" (#) will Turn ON the power on all of the boxes in a daisy chain. The wild card can be used in any or all positions.
The Manual ON/OFF Switch can also be used to power the UX-1 ON or OFF. It will power ON according to the preferences that you selected.

REMOTE PUSH BUTTON OPTION In installations where the U-X1 may not be easily accessible, the manual push button can be extended up to 3000 feet with the Remote Push Button option. With this option, the U-X1 is supplied with a 6 foot cable and a heavy duty push button instead of the on board push button. The user can splice into the 2-wire cable and extend it up to 3000' or greater, using most any type of wire. Instead of the standard alternating ON/OFF control, the button is pushed once to turn the power ON and twice to turn it OFF. Holding the button for 4 seconds performs a RESET according to preferences selected. The U-X1s cannot be daisy chained with this option. The push button requires a 0.755" diameter hole to be mounted at the users discretion. |
