General Settings

Use the below settings to take advantage of the WattBox's basic functions and notifications.

Outlet Options

Enter the Outlet Name, Mode, and Power on Delay.

When configuring Power on Delay, make sure the first device in the network topology powers on first. Make sure the first device has enough time to power on before the next device in the topology powers on.

For example, the Modem's Power on Delay is 1 second, the router's Power On Delay is 60 seconds, and the Core switch's Power on Delay is 90 seconds.

Pro Tip: -_Configure the Outlet Mode to Network Device (Reset Only) for all network devices to avoid outages caused by devices accidentally being powered off.

IP Settings

Select DHCP (default) or Static. Static allows you to designate an IP address, Subnet Mask, Device Gateway, and DNS Server for the WattBox.

Pro Tip: -_Use DHCP and give the WattBox a MAC (DHCP) Reservation to avoid IP conflicts or connection loss in case the IP scheme changes.

Time Settings

Use the dropdown to select the Time Zone the WattBox is installed in.

Power Performance Notification

Enable or disable notifications when the Safe Voltage, Current, or Wattage falls out of the specified range.

Each notification type allows you to set a specified range. When a threshold falls out of range the WattBox reports that it is in a Limited state.

Note: -__.These settings affect each user on the OvrC account. Manage which notifications you receive in the User settings.
