Page 102: Managing Environmental Sensors
Chapter 5: Using the Web Interface Managing Environmental Sensors Dominion PX starts to retrieve an environmental sensor's reading and/or state and records the state transitions after the environmental sensor is managed. The PDU can manage a maximum of 16 environmental sensors. When there are less than 16 managed sensors, Dominion PX automatically brings detected environmental sensors under management.
Page 103: Configuring Environmental Sensors
Chapter 5: Using the Web Interface Configuring Environmental Sensors You may change the default name for easily identifying the managed sensor, and describe its location with X, Y and Z coordinates. To configure environmental sensors: 1. If the PDU folder is not expanded, expand it to show all components and component groups.
Page 104 Chapter 5: Using the Web Interface 2. Click Setup. The Pdu Setup dialog appears. 3. In the "External sensors Z coordinate" field, click the drop-down arrow and select an option from the list. Rack Units: The height of the Z coordinate is measured in standard rack units.
Page 105: Viewing Sensor Data
Chapter 5: Using the Web Interface Viewing Sensor Data Readings of the environmental sensors will display in the web interface after these sensors are properly connected and managed. The Dashboard page shows the information for managed environmental sensors only, while the External Sensors page shows the information for both of managed and unmanaged ones.
Page 106: Sensor Measurement Accuracy
Chapter 5: Using the Web Interface Sensor Measurement Accuracy Raritan environmental sensors are with the following factory specifications.

Chapter 5: Using the Web Interface Copying Configurations with Bulk Configuration The Bulk Configuration feature lets you save the settings of a configured Dominion PX device to your PC. This file can be used to copy that configuration to other Dominion PX devices of the same model or to restore the settings to previous configuration on the same Dominion PX device.
Page 108: Saving A Dominion Px Configuration
Chapter 5: Using the Web Interface Saving a Dominion PX Configuration A source device is an already configured Dominion PX device that is used to create a configuration file containing the settings that can be shared between Dominion PX devices. These settings include user and role configurations, thresholds, event rules, security settings, and so on.
Page 109: Copying A Dominion Px Configuration
Chapter 5: Using the Web Interface Copying a Dominion PX Configuration A target device is a Dominion PX device that loads another Dominion PX device's configuration file. Copying a Dominion PX configuration to a target device adjusts that Dominion PX device's settings to match those of the source Dominion PX device.
