AVIOSYS Frequently Asked Questions
US company AVIOSYS International Inc was founded a decade ago and specialises in the design and manufacture of high performance Internet/Ethernet Networking, Remote Access Control and Power management solutions.
Yes, you just need a commando socket with a C13 (kettle type) power lead to plug into the Aviosys device and a commando socket at the other end of the power lead.
Yes. All of the Aviosys remote power switches support operation through a telephone line and modem.
No. The IP9100A requires Internet Explorer with ActiveX support in order to display video feeds. Microsoft discontinued support for the Internet Explorer on December 31, 2005 and removed the application from their Macintosh downloads site on January 31, 2006. Even if you could get hold of Internet Explorer it wouldn't help because, whilst Internet Explorer will run on the Mac, the Mac version doesn't support ActiveX. ActiveX was always a Microsoft Windows specific technology.
Can I set one outlet to OFF then 45 mins later to ON; and do that up to seven times in one/same day?
You can set the schedule for a once a day action and repeat that every day, Monday to Friday and separately Saturday and Sunday. You can also set a delay on an action, so that On or Off won't take effect until a time has elapsed. In addition you can also use Wake on LAN so that a particular MAC address can wake the device up. However it is not possible to time multiple ON/Off actions on the same day.
No. The IP9200A only supports browser access to the video feeds. The video feeds from the cameras can be displayed using the built in web server. When movement is detected images can either be emailed or transferred via FTP'ed to a seperate server.
The problem is probably with the Router setup. You need to make sure that the Internal IP address is mapped to the outward facing IP address of your router. This may be labelled as NAT (Network Address Translation) or Port Redirection in your Router setup.
The IP9258W has both a wired and wireless network interfaces. You can enable / disable the wireless interface via the web based management software.
This device is not powerful enough to have a 15a output. You would need to buy a relay to use with this device to trigger power cut off.
The power to the PC can be controlled remotely by the Aviosys IP9258SP, but only if the PC is connected directly into one of the ports on the power switch itself. In addition, the IP address of the power switch must also be accessible remotely either using the port forwarding feature on your broadband router or by using fixed IP address given to you by your ISP.
I am sure that there is a version of the Aviosys IP9258W that works on US power supplies. We're based in the UK and only stock product that works in the UK and the rest of Europe I'm afraid.
Yes, you can label individual sockets with meaningful names. In the web interface there is a box in which you can type your own memorable labels for each socket.
