Laptop IntelliPanel USBIMP205

My Laptop IntelliPanel doesn't seem to be working?

Please check that all plugs for your devices are in the correct sockets on our product before you proceed any further. Ensure that the USB cable (which we have provided) is connected to your laptop correctly with the RJ12 socket attached to the IntelliPanel.

Can I use my Laptop IntelliPanel with a desktop computer?

Yes, that's fine, but you must make sure you have a spare USB socket on your desktop computer (do not connect via a USB Hub). However we would recommend that you use the CSIMP205.

Why does the Laptop IntelliPanel have a permanent on socket?

We are aware that some devices require permanent power, fax machines for example don't tend to work very well when they are switched off! So we thought we'd add that socket so you can still have all your office equipment connected in one place.

Can I plug more than one item into the permanent on socket?

We have tried to make our products as versatile and adaptable as possible but if you have more than one item that requires the use of a 'permanent on' socket then it is possible to use a conventional extension block with our devices provided you do not exceed the maximum load of 13A. If your environment allows you use trailing sockets/ extension blocks with our devices then plug it into the 'permanent on' socket to create more. There's no need to worry about saftey provided you keep to the maximum load as our products are designed to meet British Standards, which means that they are entirley safe to use in this manner.

Does switching my laptop and peripherals on and off reduce the lifespan of the system?

Technology advances and development in electrical components allows equipment to be switched on and off without reducing the lifespan of the system.

The Laptop IntelliPanel switches power on after a delay of a few seconds, is this normal?

Absolutely, we called it the IntelliPanel for a reason, it will only allow power to be sent to your equipment once it has ensured that power really is required. It does this by continuously monitoring the activity of a specific aspect in your laptop, it's nothing to worry about!

Does the Laptop IntelliPanel have surge protection?

Yes, it has surge protection for the computer, all peripherals, and the telephone/modem splitter.

Can the Laptop IntelliPanel damage my equipment?

No. OneClick products are simple switching devices that cannot interact or interfere with your equipment and are manufactured and tested to comply and meet British Standards.

One of my peripherals switches off but does not switch back on, why is this?

In a few instances, some peripherals have soft switches which automatically default to 'off' when power is switched off. In such cases, you have to manually switch the power on to this device as our product cannot physically turn equipment on. We are sure that the benefits you will achieve from saving energy and money will out-weigh this small inconvenience and it is still better to switch equipment off when not in use.

I have more than six peripheral devices that I need to plug into the Laptop IntelliPanel, how do I achieve this?

We have tried to make our products as versatile and adaptable as possible but if you have more peripherals than 'peripheral' sockets then it is possible to use a conventional extension block with our devices provided you do not exceed the maximum load of 13A. If your environment allows you to use trailing sockets/extension blocks with our deviees then plug it into one of the 'peripheral' sockets to create more. There's no need to worry about saftey provided you keep to the maximum load as our products are designed to meet British Standards, which means that they are entirley safe to use in this manner.

I have a USB Hub with LED's which is powered by the Laptop IntelliPanel. When I switch off the computer the LED's on my mouse, keyboard, USB Hub etc stay on. Why?

The mouse, keyboard, USB Hub etc are connected to the USB socket of the computer. These sockets are permanently powered and so may cause the LED's to illuminate, it's nothing to worry about.

Do I need to route my telephone/broadband through the Laptop IntelliPanel?

The sockets on our products are provided as an option for you to run telephone/aerial through our device and benefit from surge protection. For instructions on how to route your telephone/aerial through the IntelliPanel, please visit the telephone/aerial configuration page.

If I connect my telephone to the Laptop IntelliPanel will I still be able to use it when the computer is switched off?

Of course, we know you'd like to protect your equipment against surge so OneClick designed this panel to work with you, not against you. We're trying to make life easier. The telephone/broadband lines on the IntelliPanel have permanent power, that means you can still use them even when you have switched off the rest of your equipment.

How do I route my broadband through Laptop IntelliPanel?

It's really easy, please see our telephone/broadband configuration instructions.

How do I route my telephone through the Laptop IntelliPanel?

It's really easy, please see our telephone/broadband configuration instructions.

How much power do my peripherals actually use?

To calculate the amount of energy used, you would have to refer to the manufacturers information of your equipment. As for savings that can be achieved this will differ for each user as it epends on the following factors:

1. The number of peripherals used.
2. The cost of electricity which can be obtained from your supplier.
3. The number of hours that equipment would normally be left on or in standby unnecessarily.
4. The amount of power consumed by peripherals.

Independant tests have shown that our products arre cost-effective and can pay fro themselves many times over. You will also be helping to 'go green' by improving your carbon footprint which is just as important.
