Product Information
Full details
The Lindy IPower Switch Classic 16 is designed for system administrators and IT professionals seeking robust remote power management for up to 16 devices. Its key benefit is the ability to individually control power outlets via a network, allowing for reboots and power cycling from anywhere on a LAN, WAN, or the internet. A primary caveat is that it does not support SSL for secure connections and does not include a mains power cable, requiring a separate purchase. This unit offers a built-in web server for easy control, real-time power consumption monitoring, and an audio alarm for overload warnings, all housed in a standard 1U rack-mountable chassis.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this product include a power cable?
No, the Lindy IPower Switch Classic 16 does not come with a mains power cable. You will need to purchase a compatible cable separately from Lindy (part number 30459 or 30344 for standard 13A use, or a 16A rated "Commando" style cable for 16A circuits).
What is the maximum power capacity of this unit?
The unit has an IEC 320 C19 input connector and is designed to operate from a 16A circuit, meaning its total capacity is approximately 3.68 kW at 230V.
Can I access the IPower Switch from outside my local network?
Yes, you can access the IPower Switch via WAN or the internet, provided your network is configured to allow external access (e.g., through port forwarding on your router). However, please note that SSL is not supported for secure connections.
How do I find the IP address of the unit?
The current IP address of the Lindy IPower Switch Classic 16 is displayed directly on the unit's front panel display.
What warranty is provided with this product?
This product comes with a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase.
Is the web interface secure (HTTPS/SSL)?
No, the product description states that SSL is not supported. Access should be managed within a secure network environment.
Can I schedule power on/off times for the outlets?
The product description focuses on manual remote control and monitoring. Scheduling capabilities would depend on the specific features implemented in the web interface or companion software, which are not detailed here. Consult the user manual for advanced features.
Troubleshooting
Unit is not accessible via the network.
Verify the Ethernet cable is properly connected to both the unit and the network switch. Check the IP address displayed on the unit and ensure your computer is on the same subnet or has routing configured. Confirm the network port on the switch is active.
Unable to control power to an outlet.
Check the physical connection between the device and the IPower Switch outlet. Ensure the device itself is powered on. Try cycling the power of the IPower Switch unit itself. Verify you have the correct user permissions in the web interface.
Web interface is slow or unresponsive.
Check the network connection quality to the IPower Switch. If monitoring power consumption extensively, this can increase load; try reducing the logging frequency. Restart the IPower Switch unit.
Overload alarm is constantly active.
Check the total power draw of all connected devices. Ensure the total consumption does not exceed the unit's 16A rating. Identify any single device drawing excessive current and consider moving it to a different power source or replacing it.
