Features
Congratulations on selecting the DLI Ethernet Power Controller 7,
a smart rack-mount AC power switch. Features include:
Simple Web Interface
The internal web server is accessible from any browser; simply
enter an IP. Conguration and control are web-based.
AutoPing™ Reboot
AutoPing continuously monitors an IP address. If a server, router,
or other peripheral goes down, AutoPing can power cycle to
automatically reboot it without user intervention. Several devices
can be monitored simultaneously.
8 Switched Duplex Circuits + 2 Unswitched Outlets
Eight individual switch control circuits are provided with duplex
outlets. Outlets are spaced for plugs and adapters. Un-switched
outlets are provided for “always on” devices. Switched outlets are
metered in two banks. Unswitched outlets are unmetered.
Programmable LCD Display and Keypad
A 2x16 LCD displays status for each outlet. Custom messages
can be displayed via Lua scripts. A front-panel keypad provides
local control and can be disabled.
Multi-User Password Security
Multi-user authentication limits access to the power controller. The
administrator selects which outlets each user controls.
Sequenced “On Timer”
A programmable delay timer allows outlets to be switched on
in sequence, rather than simultaneously. Many devices draw
a surge of power when initially switched on. Using this timer,
more equipment can share a single circuit without overloads.
Programmable scripts can be used to create customized power-up
and shut-down sequences with variable timing.

MOV Surge Suppression
Dual 3600W metal oxide varistors clamp power surges and
spikes, protecting attached devices.
Scripting Language, Syslog, and Utilities
Lua scripting can be used to create custom control and reboot
sequences, schedule periodic reboots, etc. Internal and external
event logs are provided.

Quick Setup
Experienced? Use these shortcuts.
We recommend that rst-time installers skim the entire manual.
• Unpack. Save the carton. Attach line cords to 15A circuits.
• Attach an Ethernet cable from the controller to your LAN. Switch
power on. If you are attached through a switch, you may need to
cycle switch power to establish a connection.
• Ping the default address 192.168.0.100 to conrm that a
network connection is established. If you don’t receive a response,
proceed to the IP Setup section below.
• Log in to the power controller using the default user name
admin and the password 1234 Note: “admin” must be entered in
lower case.
• Click the Settings link to reach the conguration page. Select
the safest power-loss conguration for your installation: (all OFF,
all sequential ON, or pre-powerloss sequential ON). Note that
pre-powerloss means the last previously congured state, and it
does not take cycling into account. “Power loss” is dened as loss
of AC power on both inputs and battery depletion or disconnection.
• Congure the power switch as described below. After each
change, click Submit and wait for the page to refresh before
continuing.
Tip: A three-bulb electrical safety-tester is handy for checking
conguration before attaching live loads.

IP Setup
If your network settings won’t access the default IP, use a direct
cable connection (temporarily bypass any switch or router)
and follow these steps to add a compatible static IP, such as
192.168.0.50 Before adding an IP, close all programs and
browsers. After the link is established, you can enable DHCP.
Windows Step 1
In Windows, the rst step is locating the network adapter TCP/IP
properties. The procedure diers for each Windows version:
Windows XP, 2000, 2003: Open Start / Control Panel / Network
Connections. In “classic view”, select Start / Settings / Control
Panel /Network Connections. Right-click on Local Area
Network Connection and select Properties. Proceed to step 2.
Windows Vista: Open Start, right click on Network, then on
Properties. Double click Network and Sharing Center, click
Manage Newtork Connections. A Network Connections window
appears. Right click on the network connection to the switch, ie.
Local Area Network. Proceed to step 2.
Windows 7: Open the Start orb, click on Control Panel. Click
View Network Status and Tasks, then Change Adapter
Settings. Proceed to step 2
Windows 8-10: Mouse or swipe to the bottom right corner and
select Settings. Select Control Panel. Select Network and
Sharing Center or Network->Network Settings. Click change
Adapter Settings or Adapter Options. Right click on your
connected network and select Properties. Proceed to step 2
Windows Step 2
The second step is adding an IP such as 192.168.0.50
Temporarily disable DHCP while conguring the switch.

Network Conguration
HTTPS is disabled by default. WiFi is enabled with a random
key. Start by establishing a hard-wired network connection to
192.168.0.100, or use the LCD and keypad to display the default
WiFi SSID and password. The Settings page controls network
conguration:
The IP address of the controller usually must match the “class C”
of your system. In other words, the rst three bytes (192.168.0)
must match the IP on your computer to access the controller.
Using a Ping utility is a good way to conrm a valid network
conguration. An “unreachable” report from Ping indicates a
miscongured network.
Once you have a connection, the controller may be operated via a
web browser. To access the controller, enter the IP address in the
URL eld of your web browser. The default is http://192.168.0.100
SSH is disabled by default.
After setup, the HTTP and SSH ports (if enabled) may be moved
to improve security. For example, changing the HTTP port to 2015
requires a browser URL of 192.168.0.100:2015 to reach the power

controller. Note that some browsers will deny connections to
ports under 1024.
Home (Outlet Control) Page
To access the home page, rst enter the controller’s IP address in
the browser URL eld, then log in. User admin has access to all
features. Other users have limited access to outlets as assigned
by the administrator.
Outlet Control
Clicking “Outlet Control” links to the home page used for
manually switching outlets on and o. Access to specic outlets is
determined by username. Admin controls all circuits.
Setup
The setup page lets you set outlet names, create web links, adjust
startup delays, and set a power loss recovery mode. You can also
add user accounts and change login credentials on this page.
Scripting
An updated scripting language based on Lua lets you customize
Ethernet Power Controller 7 9
the power controller. Scripts may be started manually,
automatically on power-up, by external http commands, or by
AutoPing events. Find a list of commands and examples at:
digital-loggers.com/scripts.html
AutoPing
The AutoPing page lets you set parameters to automatically
reboot attached equipment. First, specify an IP address to ping.
Next, adjust the timing settings and use the checkboxes to link the
IP to power circuits. For example, if a router is unreachable, you
may choose to automatically reboot both a router and a switch
attached to two dierent circuits. See page 12.
System Log
The power controller keeps an internal event log including logins,
outlet switching, power interruptions, and AutoPing events. Recent
events are stored in the log and accessible from the System Log
page. SYSLOG export is supported. For more information: digital-
loggers.com/syslog.html
Logout
Browser logout is automatic when a session is closed or after a
time-out period. Use this link to logout in advance.
Programmable Web Links
User-dened web links are provided. Set names and destination
URLs for these links on the Settings page.
Switching Outlets
The outlet control page lets you control any duplex outlet (except
the always-on pair). A master control allows those users with
access to switch all outlets on or o.
To switch an outlet, simply click to the right of the outlet name or
number. On->O switching is immediate O->On switching is
subject to the congurable On Sequence Delay..

Use the front panel keypad for local control: Select an outlet
using the arrow keys, then press on, o, or cycle. Press ON or
OFF for 5 seconds to lock or unlock an outlet. Locking prevents
web access. To change the display mode, press the up and
down arrows simultaneously. The keypad may be disabled on
the Setup page.
You may want to Cycle a device which is connected to the
controller. This feature is useful for rebooting Ethernet devices
which may interrupt the web link to the controller. Clicking Cycle
switches power o, waits for the Cycle time, and then switches
power back on while conforming to the ON Sequence Delay.
This reboots the attached device.
You can also cycle all outlets using the Master Control on the
bottom of the page. An adjustable ON sequence
delay takes eect when outlets are turned on
one after another, either when using the All
Outlets On button, on power-up, or when
switching manually using the front panel. This
prevents power surges. A separate Cycle delay
setting is provided on the setup page.
Depending on your web browser settings, you may need to click
the Refresh button or F5 key to update the on-screen status
display after changing settings. Screen refresh rate is adjusted
in two places: on the Setup page and in your browser settings.
Setup Page
The Setup page allows the admin to congure:
Controller and Outlet Names
Use the controller name eld to assign a Controller Name to
the power controller itself. An example is Server Rack 4 PDU.
The Controller Name will appear on top of all pages. Assign a
separate name to each outlet, such as DSL Router 1 or Email
Server to aid identication. Check the Conrm button to the
right of the outlet name if you would like a pop-up window to
