Page 7: Introduction
Intelligent MDU Cardinal Introduction The Cardinal range of intelligent mains distribution units provide 12 separate outputs, an SNMP interface, email messaging, a choice of single or dual inputs, with optional external temperature and humidity sensing in a 1RU rack. Figure 1: Cardinal iMDU block diagram (dual input version) The dual input version enables main and back-up power sources to be connected to a single Cardinal unit. - Page 8 The dual input version enables main and back up power sources to be connected to a single Cardinal unit. Switching to the back up input supply is automatic on power fail of the main source. The changeover system allows non phase inputs to be switched up to 650V.

IP address. The default IP address configured at the factory is 192.168.0.161. The first step in configuring multiple units is to ensure that each Cardinal unit has its own unique IP address. Refer to the Configuration and Operation chapter for further detail. -

The means that the control PC and the Cardinal units must all have IP addresses in the same subnet range. When a Cardinal iMDU is connected to a network for the first time, its IP address must be changed to a unique address that matches the network it is connected to. -
Page 15: Using The Serial Port
Intelligent MDU Cardinal Getting Started Using the serial port To use the serial port a null-modem cable will be required made according to the table for the RJII 6-way connector on page 5. Start a terminal session using an emulator such as Hyper Terminal or Putty Hyper Terminal 1. -
Page 16: Using The Web Interface
Intelligent MDU Cardinal Using the Web Interface Introduction The web interface is designed to allow users to configure and monitor selected iMDU units over a network using a browser. All users can access status pages but password access is required for configuration pages. - Page 17 Intelligent MDU Cardinal Using the Web Interface Input Input selected – shows selected input Input voltage - shows input voltage(s) Output Number – output number 1-12 (non editable field) Name – output name (editable under MDU Config) Switch - to operate an output relay, click on the Switch T icon. Control is immediate and not subject to start or stop delay A greyed out mains output switch relay indicates it has been locked.

Page 19: Ip Configuration And Mdu Details
Intelligent MDU Cardinal Using the Web Interface IP Configuration and MDU Details The About tab provides additional status only information about IP configuration and unit details. It is particularly useful for users without access to password protected configuration screens. The unit name and IP configuration data is read only in the About tab. -
Page 20: Ip Configuration
Intelligent MDU Cardinal Using the Web Interface IP Configuration Access to configuration screens requires a user name and password. The default is ‘admin’ and ‘admin’. DHCP Enables or disables DHCP. A reboot is required to make the change. MAC Address Displays the MAC address of the iMDU. - Page 21 Browsing Some MIB browsers (in particular MG-Soft) use a contact MIB for initial communications. In the case of the Cardinal iMDU the model object in infoGroup is recommended. NTP Server The numbered IP address for the Network Time Protocol server used to set the time in the iMDU.
- Page 22 Intelligent MDU Cardinal Using the Web Interface Email Address This is the address alarm emails will be sent to. The maximum length is 63 characters. Reply Address The reply email address. This does not have to be the named address of the iMDU but some email servers will reject a mismatched address.

Page 23: Mdu Configuration
Intelligent MDU Cardinal Using the Web Interface MDU Configuration Currently the iMDU configuration page is password protected, the default username and password is “admin”. The username is not configurable but the password is using the Set ‘admin’ password box. Name The name or location of the iMDU. - Page 24 Intelligent MDU Cardinal Using the Web Interface Input Voltage Upper Threshold - the input voltage above which an alarm is raised, sending a trap or email if enabled. Shed Outputs on First Input Lost - if the first power supply is removed outputs are shed for which shedding has been enabled.

Page 25: Event Log
Intelligent MDU Cardinal Using the Web Interface Event Log The event logs are read only and provide a list of events where event 0 is the most recent. Use the Set Pos (Set Position) and fast forward/forward/fast reverse/reverse controls to move quickly through the logs. -
Page 26: Power Log
Intelligent MDU Cardinal Using the Web Interface Power Log The power logs give the power supplied on each output in VA per hour along with the minimum and peak figures. Time stamping requires a valid connection to an NTP server. At first switch-on, time stamps may appear with the year 1970. -

Page 28: Trouble Shooting
Frequently asked questions How does shedding work? The Cardinal iMDU allows for each output to be designated as a load that can be disconnected in the event of an automatic switchover to a backup supply. In addition, a disconnection delay can be associated with each output to allow outputs to be disconnected in an orderly manner rather than simultaneously. - Page 29 The unit itself weighs approximately 3 kilograms plus the weight of cable attached to the tie- bar at the rear of the unit. Do both supplies in a dual input Cardinal iMDU need to be the same phase? No, the input selector method employed allows non-phase inputs to be switched safely.
