iP-1515

The Juice Goose iP-1515 Rack mounted Web based power controller includes AC line filtration and surge protection.  From the Manufacturer: The Juice Goose iP 1520 is a microcontroller based power distribution device that can be accessed via internet or intranet communications using Ethernet or RS232 connection. With this remote access, individual AC receptacles can be turned on and off. The iP 1520 has a twenty amp capacity and provides AC line surge protection. The iP 1520 provides economical web or intranet based remote power control to six receptacles grouped into three individual Power Pods. Each of these Pods can be turned on and off individually from anywhere on the planet.  The iP 1520 can be controlled by the on board web server graphic interface that can be accessed by any web browser. It can also be remote controlled by RS232 connection to commercial or proprietary systems from Crestron, Q-SYS and other AV control companies. Features: Internet, intranet and RS232 remote control Local fail safe sequencing and manual override On-board web server for easy set up, control, sequencing and monitoring Front panel indicators for network connection and surge protection function Administrator and User login options Automatic Power Cycle to reboot a network data router if network connection is lost AC lsurge protection Specifications: Chassis 16 gauge steel with 11 gauge rack mount brackets Dimensions 1.75”H x19”W x 7”D Weight 10 lbs Circuit Breaker 15A (iP 1515) or 20A (iP 1520) thermal on back of the chassis Number of Addressable Power Pods Three Power Inputs Seven foot power cord with NEMA 5/15P (iP1515) or NEMA 5/20P (iP1520) (NOTE: iP1520 requires a 5/20R receptacle) Power Output Six switched NEMA 5/15R (iP1515) or 5/20R (iP1520), plus one unswitched NEMA\ 5/15R (iP1515) or 5/20R (iP1520) Input Voltage 120 VAC @ 60Hz  Signal Connections Ethernet (RJ-45) RS 232 (RJ-11) Network Protocol HTML, TCP, UDP, RS232, SNMP (special model) Monitor Features Local and remote, network connection and current level WEB SERVER All iP Series products have an on board web server that provides graphic user interface for controlling and monitoring equipment connected to the iP Series unit. This feature is available for remote use as soon as the IP address of the unit is entered in a web browser. TCP / IP CONTROL It is possible to control and monitor iP 1515 over Ethernet using raw TCP protocol. In this mode, any PC ( Windows, Linux, Mac ) can connect to the iP 1515 over a TCP/IP connection using a suitable TCP/IP client program. Once the connection is made, the console commands are available to the user over TCP/IP as if the user was connected to IP 1515 over the local serial connection. RS232 CONTROL The RJ11 style connector on the back of the iP1515 chassis (labeled "RS232") can be used for remote control of this unit via RS232 protocol over distances of no more than 50 feet. Commands for this control are detailed in the iP 1515 Manual in the section titled "RS232 Control and Monitoring". To issue RS232 commands terminal software such as Windows Hyper Terminal is required. For convenience, a version of the Micro Terminal program is available for downloading from the Juice Goose site. LED AND REMOTE MONITORING Operation and status of the iP 1515 and connected equipment can be observed in several ways. Each of three lights on the front of the iP 1515 turn on to indicate which of the three Power Pods have been turned on. A "Network" LED indicates data network communications and functioning surge protection. By way of the on board web server or an appropriate third party interface, each of the three Power Pods can be monitored to determine if connected equipment is on and consuming power. SNMP Juice Goose developed an SNMP enabled subset of the iP Series products. Those models can be addressed with SNMP or RS232 protocol but lack some of the features of the standard iP Series models. POWER PROTECTION The iP 1515 provides AC line protection across hot and neutral with no ground line contamination. An indicator LED on the front panel shows surge protection is functioning or in a fault condition.  FAILSAFE CONTROL This power module features three levels of on and off control, to provide fail safe operation in the event of a system or network malfunction. The iP 1515 has a switch on the front of the chassis which can be used to sequence on or off all switched outlets if there is a data network failure. Should there be an internal processor fault, the Manual Override switch, also on the front of the chassis, can turn the unit on, as well.
