 To download and install eRPower Remote Manager

• Download eRPower Remote Manager from http://www.erpower.net/eRPowerdownload.html

• Installation of eRPower Remote Manager on the Remote Control PC

5. Run eRPower Card Network Installation Wizard

• Make sure that Remote Control PC is in the same LAN with the eRPower Card has been installed.

• Make sure the security rules of the PC’s firewall (for example Norton Firewall or McAfee Firewall)
allow eiw.exe (eRPower Network Installation Wizard) and eRPRm.exe (eRPower Remote Manager)
pass through. The eRPower Network Installation Wizard and eRPower Remote Manager using
target UDP 9800 port. Please refer to Appendix A: Norton Internet Security 2005 Setting

• Click the icon of eRPower Network Installation Wizard on desktop of Remote Control PC:

7. Controlling the Power of Computer over the Internet
• Using DNAT (Destination Network Address Translation) function of the firewall

DNAT also called as PAT or IP Address and Port Mapping. If your eRPower Card’s IP address
behind the firewall that is eRPower Card’s IP is a private IP. You should configure the firewall to
open UDP 9800 port and map the public IP and UDP 9800 port to the eRPower Card private IP and
UDP 9800 port.

Assume your firewall is Linux-based, the network interface eth0 is connected to the Internet and the
eRPower Card’s IP is 192.168.2.254, then you can configure you Linux-based Firewall as bellow:

Iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -i eth0 --dport 9800 -j DNAT --to 192.168.2.254:9800

• Using VPN

If you can establish a VPN tunnel from the Internet to your office, you can control the power of
computer equipped with eRPower Card just like you do in the LAN.
