Page 36: Linking Units
Linking Units The Linking feature allows the linking configuration of a single Primary unit to multiple link units so that you can view and manage them all in one place. The primary unit has full knowledge of the location of the connected link units, as well as the power and/or environmental information of all link units.
Page 37 When the chain is established with a single primary unit, and one or more link units, communication occurs with the primary unit through its IP address. The primary unit, in turn, communicates to the other link units in the chain through their individual IP addresses, which optimizes monitoring and management.
Page 38 ▶ What user privileges are required for managing the Linking configuration? Administrative privileges are required for both the primary unit and link unit. To add a link, your administrative login account is required, but after that you only log in to the primary to manage the chain, as all link units in the chain are visible in the user interface from the primary unit view.
Page 39: Linking In The Web Interface
Firmware version must match between primary units and link units to function normally. If the primary unit is updated before the link units, for example, you will see a "Firmware version mismatch" message in the Link Units section. When this occurs, link unit data will not display. You will not be able to switch to the mismatched link unit.
Page 40: Options For Adding Link Units
4) MAC address 5) Rating 6) Link to Data Log The ID of the primary unit is automatically assigned the ID "1", as shown in the example as "My PDU (1)". The ID cannot be edited. Options for Adding Link Units To start configuring the Primary Unit with Link Units, your options in the web interface depend on the network and physical configuration of units.
Page 41 ▶ To add a link unit: • • Primary and link units must be the same model, running the same firmware versions. 1) Log in to the primary unit and go to the PDU page. 2) Click Add Link Unit. 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 42: Linking Cascaded Units
About the Link ID The Link ID "1" is automated and reserved internally for the primary unit. The primary unit’s 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 the chain. From the Link ID drop-down, you can select the desired Link ID to manage the link units in the chain.
Page 43 The Custom settings option requires that you to select each cascaded unit by its node number, and map it to a Link ID manually. You must also select a hostname type for each link. The linking process follows your customized list and attempts to add all selected expansion units.
Page 44 6) Click Link to start the linking process. The table shows progress and then final results. In the example below, expansion unit 1 was linked successfully. Expansion unit 2 failed--the connection may have failed, or this result may also indicate there was no unit at that position. Expansion units 3-7 were skipped because the process stops upon first failure.
Page 45 ▶ To link cascaded units (Custom method): 1) On the PDU page, click the Link Cascaded Units button. The Link Cascaded Units dialog opens. 2) Enter the Primary Unit's administrator user name and password. 3) Select Custom Settings. 4) Click Append Node to add a row to the table, then complete each field in the row to describe how the expansion unit should be linked.
Page 46: Primary Units Manage Link Units
Primary Units Manage Link Units The primary unit manages the following functions for the entire chain of linked units: • • User management and authentication – configured only on the primary. • • Date and time – the primary synchronizes its date and time settings to link units. If NTP is not used, then the synchronization interval is every 10 minutes.
Page 47: Switching To A Different Unit
▶ To release a link unit from the Primary Unit's web interface: Note: If a release action is attempted on a link unit when the unit is an unreachable state, a warning message displays, and the primary will not recognize the link unit. 1) From the PDU page, in the Link Units section, click a link unit to select it.
Page 48: Re-Linking A Link Unit
▶ To switch to a different unit: 1) Click the Switch control. 2) Select one of the link units from the drop-down list.

Log Rows The following illustrates log rows with only one sensor record shown. The actual length and order of log rows will be the same as those of sensors descriptors. The comment beginning with // in each line, is added to the following illustration to help explain it. Monitoring Server Accessibility You can monitor whether specific IT devices are alive by having the PRO3X continuously ping them.
Page 271 PRO3X can monitor any IT device, such as database servers, remote authentication servers, power distribution units (PDUs), and so on. It supports monitoring a maximum of 64 IT devices. To perform this feature, you need the Administrator Privileges. The default ping settings may not be suitable for monitoring devices that require high connection reliability so it is strongly recommended that you should adjust the ping settings for optimal results.
Page 272 Field Description Number of consecutive The number of times the monitored equipment is failures before disabling declared "Unreachable" consecutively before the feature (0 = unlimited) PRO3X disables the ping monitoring feature for it and shows "Waiting for reliable connection."

After adding IT equipment for monitoring, all IT devices are listed on the Server Reachability page. In the beginning, the status of the added IT equipment shows "Waiting for reliable connection," which means the requested number of consecutive successful or unsuccessful pings has not reached before PRO3X can declare that the monitored device is reachable or unreachable.
Page 275 Power control Description status Server is shutting The shutdown command was sent to the monitored equipment, down but the shutdown operation has not completed or succeeded yet. Power state Cannot determine the power state of the outlet(s) associated unknown with the monitored device. For example, maybe the outlet group associated with the monitored device has been deleted.

Page 307: Changing Storage Settings
Changing Storage Settings Important: The PRO3X web interface only lists the snapshots stored locally on the PRO3X device, but does NOT list those saved onto remote servers. You must launch appropriate third-party applications, such as an FTP client, to access and manage the snapshots stored on remote servers. The default is to store snapshots locally on the device, which has a limitation of 10 snapshots.
Page 308 Storage Description location • • It can store a maximum of 10 snapshots only. • • The web interface can list and display all snapshots stored on the PRO3X. • • All snapshots are CLEARED when the PRO3X is rebooted. CIFS/ Snapshots are saved onto a Common Internet File System/Samba.
