Making A Power-Sharing Connection - LEGRAND Raritan PX3TS User Manual

•
All internal sensors become "unavailable", including sensors of inlets,
outlets, and OCPs.
Exception: Only active energy data remains available.
•
Communications with relay/meter boards are lost. Therefore, firmware
upgrade may fail due to this reason.
Available data or operations on the PDU that enters the power-sharing
mode:
•
Change software settings, such as customizing names, modifying network
settings, configuring thresholds, and so on.
Note: Outlet switching is not available because all outlets lose power.
•
Monitor the status of connected Raritan environmental sensor packages,
or configure/control their settings.
•
Operate the front panel display.
Events that occur when entering the power-sharing mode:
•
The 12V power supply sensor enters the fault state. See +12V Power

Tip: You can set an event rule for sending a notification when this sensor
enters the fault state. See
•
The above event is logged in the internal event log. See
Messages (on page 381).
To find whether a PX3TS has entered the power-sharing mode:
•
Check the state of its +12V power supply sensor.
Tip: For SNMP, the sensor type for this +12V power supply is i1smpsStatus (46).

Making a Power-Sharing Connection

Make sure BOTH PX3TS devices comply with the configuration limitations when
establishing a power-sharing connection. See
and Restrictions (on page 38).
The supported maximum power-sharing distance is 2 meters.
Make a power-sharing connection:
1. Get a standard network patch cable (Cat5e/6), which can be up to 2
meters long.
▪
Do NOT use a crossover cable.
2. Connect one end to a PX3TS device's EXPANSION port, and the other end
to another one's EXPANSION port.
▪
Note that the EXPANSION port location on your PX3TS may differ from
the following images.
