How to Set Up the IP Power 9258

I bought this guy in able to reboot my computer over the internet.

When set up it provides a web page you can log into to control each power outlet on the device and/or set a schedule for when each outlet comes on or turns off.

The directions were very confusing, so here’s a quick write-up of how I got it working for myself:

  1. Plug the 9258 into the wall.
  2. Connect an appliance like a lamp to one of the outlets on the 9258 to test it. (default is off so your lamp won’t be on yet)
  3. Plug the 9258 into your router via an ethernet cable.
  4. Now log into your router and look at the attached devices to find the IP address assigned to the 9258. (For me it was 192.168.1.9. The 9258 presented the name “new-host-2″.)
  5. Type that IP address into the address bar of your browser.
  6. Enter the default user name and password when prompted (user name is admin and password is 12345678)
  7. You’re in! Try turning on an off your lamp.
