Aviosys
A place for all of your Aviosys related Frequently Asked Questions about the full range of IP Power networked power switches.
Do any of your power control switches include SMS control in addition to IP access?
The IP Power switches can be controlled using a Smartphone browser with Internet access. The PowerTxt and PowerTxtDuo use a SIM card. There is no single model that has both interfaces.
Do you have these with UK 3 pin sockets ?
Yes. We supply these with either a UK or an EU power supply depending on where the customer is located, and can also supply with the C13 power supplies to connect devices as in this link Aviosys IP Power 9258S.
Which operating systems the NetPower is compatible with?
The NetPower is compatible with Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.
What use current temperature meter?
The idea is that by monitoring voltage and current you can measure the energy use of the attached device.
All of our power is from 16A or 32A Commando Sockets would Aviosys be able to use this device?
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.
Is the Aviosys 9258-1U available?
No. Aviosys ceased manufacturing the IP9258-1U some time ago. They have replaced it with the IP9820 unit.
Is the Aviosys 9258-DS still available?
No. Aviosys ceased manufacture some time ago. It has been replaced by the IP9820 unit.
Is the Aviosys 9258-PRO still available?
No. Aviosys ceased manufacture some time ago. It has been replaced by the IP9820 unit.
Which Aviosys power switches support recycling power on network failure?
Many of the Aviosys models have an auto ping feature. The units are able to continuously ping an external ip address of your choosing. If one or more pings fail, then you can specify which port you want to have the power recycled ie switched off then on again. The port you choose should be the power port of your broadband router.
Which 4 port remote power switches can I operate through a telephone line and modem rather than the internet?
All of the ethernet based Aviosys remote power switches support operation through a telephone line and modem.
Does the IP9258UK connect to the network using RJ45 or wireless?
The IP9258UK connects to the network using an RJ45 connector only. The IP9858DX model has both RJ45 and Wi-FI connections.
Will the IP9255 device power cycle on ping fail?
Yes. The IP9255 will cycle the power when one or a number of pings fail. Perfect for rebooting an unreliable broadband router at a remote site.
What is the maximum power load for IP9258S?
The maximum power load is 6 Amps per socket, with a maximum of 10 Amps for the whole unit.
We are looking for a product like the Net Power 8800, but instead of USB, we require it to plug into our network?
Yes. The closest model to the Net Power 8800 supporting an ethernet network is the IP9255 and the IP9255PRO.
Is the Aviosys IP Power 9258S supplied with British plug sockets or American?
We can supply the Aviosys IP Power 9258S and 9258SP units with either UK or EU plugs. We also have a small number of US plugs if required. The price is the same for all plug types.
Can the Aviosys IP Power 9258S be programmed to switch an outlet on/off many times in a single day (for example, once every 3 hours)?
The IP9258S can be programmed with only one event (ie on and off) per port per 24 hour period. this can be repeated every day or set by day but not many times in the same day. Of course, this can be done 'manually' form a remote location however. There is a product that will do this but with only one port and is a USB device. The Aviosys USB Net Power 8800UK can be set to power on/off every so many minutes or hours.
Is it possible to use the Aviosys IP Power IP9258SP to turn off/on a dsl router once internet connectivity is lost?
Yes. Simply configure the IP address for the IP Power 9258SP to ping, the number of consecutive pings that need to fail and the power port into which the router is connected to the unit. Then when the remote IP address fails to respond to the number of consecutive pings you have specified it will stop and then start the power to your broadband router.
If I buy more than 1 IP power switch for different points in the house, will the browser be able to distinguish between the different units?
Yes. You would set up each IP Power Switch with a unique IP address on your home network. You can then log into whichever unit you want to view by typing in its IP address into your browser.
Can the individual sockets be labelled on the Aviosys IP Power 9258S within the web interface?
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.
Can I remotely control the Aviosys IP9258S on my home broadband network?
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.
