NETIO 4All

NETIO 4All is a PDU module featuring four 230V/8A power sockets with consumption metering for each socket as well as LAN and WiFi connectivity. Each of the four sockets can be individually switched on/off over the Web or using various M2M API protocols. Electricity consumption (A, W, kWh) can be measured at each power socket. NETIO 4All smart sockets are designed for remote measurement and control of electrical sockets. Use the product whenever you need 230V sockets controlled by a mobile app, by a computer program (via M2M API) or by a custom script (Lua) that runs directly in the NETIO 4All smart socket device. With the NETIO Cloud service, the outputs can be controlled from anywhere. The NETIO Cloud service, provided for a fee, uses SSL security and servers in Europe.

Many customers use NETIO 4All also as a WiFi AP (bridge), for switching individual electrical sockets on/off according to a time schedule (Scheduler function), or to provide “PING Heartbeat” or IP WatchDog functionality (remote reboot).

We announce, that products NETIO 4 and NETIO 4All are obsolete. We recommend not to use them in new projects. Last pieces are in stock, but no further production is planned.

Replacement for NETIO 4 is PowerBOX 3Px – read product specifications carefully, there could be some minor differences. PowerBOX 3Px is ready in stock, orders possible immediately.

Replacement for NETIO 4All is PowerBOX 4Kx – read product specifications carefully, there could be some minor differences. PowerBOX 4Kx is ready in stock, orders possible immediately.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience.

Industrial / robust design

NETIO 4All smart sockets with WiFi / LAN are in a robust metal housing. NETIO 4All features an electronic fuse as well as overvoltage and surge protection.

Consumption metering for each electrical socket

NETIO 4All electrical sockets include energy consumption metering functions. Each of the 4 sockets measures the current [A] and consumption [kWh].

Functions for ordinary IT users

Sockets can be controlled over the Web or with a mobile app (iOS / Android).
The switching of sockets can be time-controlled by the Scheduler with a graphical interface.
The IP WatchDog (automatic restart) function controls the 230V socket by detecting “ping” responses. It can be used to restart unresponsive servers, routers or microwave links.
ANxx (Application Notes) is a library of examples of using NETIO electrical sockets in various applications, connecting to third-party software, and so on.

M2M API

As a unique advantage, individual electrical sockets of NETIO 4All smart socket devices can be controlled with a wide range of supported network protocols. These network protocols are called the M2M (Machine to Machine) API (Application Programming Interface).

Security

NETIO 4All smart sockets support a high level of network security. The HTTPs protocol establishes a secure connection between the browser and the web server.

The third SNMP v3 generation offers higher security in comparison to previous SNMP versions. The MQTT protocol for IoT cloud applications includes SSL security.

LAN / WiFi connectivity

NETIO 4All can be connected to a LAN via Ethernet (RJ45) or WiFi. NETIO 4All can also work as a WiFi AP (Access Point) to connect to a LAN via WiFi.

An advantage of NETIO 4All over NETIO 4 is an external WiFi antenna with a RSMA connector and a higher sensitivity (-3dBi). Thanks to the RSMA connector, the supplied “pigtail” antenna can be replaced with an external antenna to provide a better WiFi coverage.

NETIO 4All for various electrical sockets

NETIO 4All smart electrical sockets are available in several versions. The smart sockets (or PDU – Power Distribution Unit) differ by the mechanical type of the electrical socket, as indicated in the model name:

NETIO 4 DE version = type F sockets – Schuko (DE, IT, ES, NL, SE, FI and other countries)
NETIO 4 FR version = type E sockets (FR, CZ, SK, PL)

Lua – Programmable scripts

NETIO 4All smart sockets can run custom scripts. NETIO 4All supports the Lua scripting language. The script (or several scripts), entered by the user via the www interface, run directly in the smart socket device. The scripts are written in the web interface. A library of sample scripts is being prepared as NETIO Application Notes. Lua scripts can switch sockets on/off and measure consumption. Typical applications include switching a socket off at a specified time or according to consumption.

User Lua scripts can also:

Send e-mails
Send and receive icmp ping
Download and parse XML files from other devices (from a given IP address)
Receive & send http get requests
Send SNMP get requests
Send Modbus/TCP requests

NETIO 4All applications

A typical application of NETIO 4All electrical sockets is to measure electricity consumption at each socket and react to this consumption.
Remote electricity consumption monitoring over M2M API (e.g. SNMP software for datacenters)
HVAC monitoring, turning on additional cooling if air-conditioning fails
Controlling and metering sockets from a custom B2B application
NETIO 4All, when used as a PDU (Power Distribution Unit) in a 19" rack, can analyze long-term power usage effectiveness (PUE), or restart unresponsive servers/routers
NETIO 4All, when used as a WiFi-controlled power strip, can turn on vending machines etc.

FAQ

Expand all

I forgot my password. How can I reset NETIO 4All to factory settings?

The proper procedure is described in the manual – look for “Forgotten password. Restore Factory Defaults”:

If you forget your password, it is possible to manually reset the device to factory defaults. This is done by pressing and holding outlet buttons 1 and 2 when starting the device via power switch. Hold the buttons until the device beeps 3 times. During the resetting process, all the outlet LED are blinking red. As soon as reset is completed, the device beeps 3 times. Whole procedure takes about 2 minutes.

For devices produced before 2016 (KOUKAAM company)

Factory default is done by pressing and holding outlet buttons 1 and 2 when starting the device via power switch. Hold the buttons until the device beeps 2 times. During the resetting process, all the outlet LED are blinking red. As soon as reset is completed, the device beeps 2 times.

Can NETIO 4x switch an output on or off at a specified time?

Yes. Switching sockets on and off at given times can be configured using the “Scheduler” function and its graphical interface.

Another option is to write a Lua script. Such a script can also communicate over the Ethernet and makes some tasks easier to set up.

What does NETIO 4x mean?

NETIO 4x refers to all NETIO 4 / 4C / 4All products.

Is NETIO 4All a smart PDU or a smart socket device?

The terminology is not settled; however, in general a PDU refers to a device intended for a 19" rack. Therefore, a PDU often means devices with IEC320 outlets. On the other hand, devices with 230V wall-like outlets are usually called “smart sockets” or a “smart power strip”.

I unpacked the NETIO 4All smart power strip, how do I set it up?

See the printed QIG included in the package for the proper procedure. Connect NETIO 4All to the Ethernet (LAN) and run the “NETIO Discover” application (Windows / Java version).

The application discovers the device IP address, and lets you open its web interface with a single click.

The default login/password combination is “admin” and “admin”.
