ePowerSwitch - Modem Demo

Introduction
This page describes how to directly control a demo setup with an ePowerSwitch located at the Leunig facilities using a modem connection.

This is not a public web page. Somebody at LEUNIG has given you this URL for test purposes.

Instructions

1. Download any ePowerSwitch Manual in English or German from the Leunig Website.
2. Start a Terminal Program such as Hyperterminal on your computer which is connected to a modem.
3. From the Terminal Program configure your modem to 9600 Baud, 8 bit, 1 Stop bit, no parity, no hardware flow control.
4. Dial 49 (0) 2241-176623 .
5. When connected, press <Tab> and <Return>.
   
6. You will now see the Main Menu of the serial connection - as if you where directly connected to this ePowerSwitch via a serial cable.

   If you see something other than the above Main Menu, press the <Escape> key once or twice until the screen appears like above.
7. Follow the instructions from the ePowerSwitch manual or what you see on the screen. It is quite self-explanatory.
8. After your tests, please press the <Escape> key until you see the Main Menu before you disconnect.

Notes

1. The unit you are configuring, may also at this moment be on-line in the Internet for other demonstration purposes. Please do not modify IP-adresses, Subnet masks, Gateway adresses, IP-Filters, User names or Passwords. Thanks!
2. There may be different models of ePowerSwitch connectet to this phone number. However, the user interface is the same and should be self-explanatory.
3. Due to the philosophy of ePowerSwitch, the user connected physically to the serial port has all rights without any restriction. This also applies to a connection to the serial port via modem. Consequently, security aspects have to be resolved within the local modem - such as passwords, call-back etc. (not activated in the demo).
4. In case of problems with the demo, please mail to Leunig Support
   or call +49 (0) 2241-1766-0

Installing a local modem (connected to ePowerSwitch)

1. You need a null modem cable (TXD & RXD crossed plus GND).
2. Make sure, the modem is set to fixed 9600 baud, 8 bit, 1 Stop bit, no parity. No auto-negotiation!
3. Make sure, the modem does not require hardware flow control. If possible, set the modem to "No flow control". In some (theoretical) cases a special cable might be required.
4. We tested with a low-end US Robotcs Sportster Flash modem and a high-end modem
   from Blatzheim which we recommend because of it´s security features. Please note that we can not give support for any other modem.
