  • Page 16: Chapter 5: Pdu Linking On The Pro3X

    Chapter 5: PDU Linking on the PRO3X Overview The PDU Linking feature allows the linking configuration of a single master PDU unit to multiple link units for faster and more efficient power management, as only one IP address is required to communicate with up to 8 linked units.
  • Page 17 PDU Linking FAQs What’s the difference between a “master unit” and a “link unit”? Master and link units are the same model PDUs that are equal to each other, and each has its own IP address. You designate a PDU as the master unit by logging into the unit and then adding a link unit. The first unit becomes the master, and when the first link unit is added, the master unit is automatically assigned PDU ID “1”, which is reserved to identify a master unit only, and the ID “1”...
  • Page 18 What happens if the connection is lost between the master and link units? If the network connection is lost, these link unit functions will still work: • energy accumulation • local display (regular metering values and alerts of raised thresholds) •...
  • Page 19 PDU Linking in the Web GUI Designating the Master Unit Log in to the PDU you want to designate as the master unit. When you add the first link unit, a chain is established between the master and the new link, and the master becomes ID “1”. To view and manage a link chain, log in to the master unit, as displayed on the PDU page: The PDU page displays the following information about the master PDU: •...
  • Page 20 Adding a Link Unit A link unit (up to seven units) can be added to a single master unit. On the PDU page, the master unit is displayed as highlighted in the following screen example in red. Notice the following section “Link PDUs”, is designed for the PDU Linking feature, where multiple PDUs added to the chain are displayed as the link units.
  • Page 21 To add a link unit: 1. Log in to the master PDU as shown displayed above in the PDU page. 2. Click Add Link PDU. The following add box displays: 3. The Link ID is populated as the next available ID number (2-8), assigned sequentially as each link unit is added to the chain to identify the link unit in the user interfaces.
  • Page 22 The new link unit is added on the PDU page with the master unit, in a list in the Link PDUs section. All link units added to the chain in this way are now managed by the single master unit. The PDU page displays the following information about the link unit: •...
  • Page 23 About the Link ID The PDU ID “1” is automated and reserved internally for the master unit. The master unit’s PDU ID “1” cannot be edited. The Link ID “2-8” is available for you to select as the ID for each of the link units you add to chain. From the Link ID drop-down, you can select the desired Link ID to manage the link units in the chain.
  • Page 24 Releasing a Link Unit Releasing a link unit means the unit is separated from the chain and the unit then becomes standalone. The master unit no longer has access to the released link unit. Note: If a release action is attempted on a link unit when the unit is an unreachable state, a warning message displays, and the master will not recognize the link unit.
  • Page 25 Switching to a Different PDU Switching PDUs is a control function noted by the Switch control in the in the upper left corner of the PDU, Outlet, Outlet Groups, OCPs, and Feature Ports pages, called out in the following screen example. Displayed data in the GUI defaults to the master unit.
  • Page 26 Re-linking a Link Unit In PDU Linking, Re-link is a required function when a link unit no longer recognizes or responds to the master unit, most likely caused when the link unit has been reset to factory defaults. Resetting to factory defaults causes the linked unit in the chain to be unreachable, and it would have to be removed from the chain manually.
  • Page 27 The status of the link unit changes to “OK”. PRO3X User Guide – Features 27 of 61...
  • Page 28 Viewing Link Unit Information When a link unit is added to the chain, the master unit view (through the GUI) allows full access to the operational data of the link unit.

  • Page 44: Outlet Groups

    Outlet Groups An outlet group is a named collection of selected outlets in a PDU. When user-defined, an outlet group can contain outlets from different PDUs, including both master and link units. Outlet groups support fast and efficient outlet control actions (On, Off, Power Cycle) across multiple PDUs, and with PDU Linking, member outlets for the master and its link units can be collected in the same outlet group.
