Configuring Over Current Protection for an IPDU
When an administrative user selects the Settings - IPDU - General tab, a screen appears for setting
overcurrent protection, so that if an overcurrent state occurs, an alarm notification is sent by means
of a syslog message to the console or a buzzer or both. Cyclades PM IPDUs that are directly
connected to the AUX port are called Master Units; daisy
-chained IPDUs are called Slave Units.
Each IPDU can have different settings.
When enabling overcurrent protection, the administrative user specifies a maximum number of
amps entered either as a whole number or as a number with a decimal point (for example, 10 amps
or 14.5 amps). When the maximum number of amps is exceeded, the SP manager generates
an alarm:
• Checking Enable syslog causes syslog messages to be sent to the console
• Checking Enable buzzer causes a buzzer to sound on the IPDU
To enable overcurrent protection for an IPDU:
1. Select the Settings
- IPDU - General menu option.
2. Check the Enable Over Current Protection checkbox, then perform the following steps:
a. Click the Edit button next to the IPDU on which you want to set alarm threshold. The Edit
Alarm Threshold for IPDU Dialog appears.
b. Enter the appropriate number of amps for the selected type of IPDU in the Alarm
Threshold field.
c. Click OK. The IPDU
- General screen appears.
3. To enable syslog messages to be sent to the console if the alarm threshold is exceeded, check
the Enable syslog checkbox.
4. To cause a buzzer to sound on the PM if the alarm threshold is exceeded, check the Enable
buzzer checkbox.
5. Click OK.
6. Click Save and apply changes.
Configuring Users to Manage Power Outlets on an IPDU
By selecting the Settings - IPDU - Users tab, an administrative user can authorize one or more
regular users to manage power outlets.
Separate multiple usernames and sequential outlet numbers with commas, and indicate a range of
outlet numbers with a hyphen (for example: user1,user2 and 1, 3, 5, 6
-8).
To configure a user to manage power outlets on a connected IPDU:
1. Select the Settings
- IPDU - Users menu option.
2. Click the Add User button.
