Page 32: 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 33 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 34 ▶ 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 35: 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 36: 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 37 ▶ 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 38: 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 39 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 40 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 41 ▶ 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 42: 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 43: 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 44: 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. Link number "2-8" appears in parentheses. 3) The page displays data for the selected link unit. 4) To return to the page for the primary, select the primary unit. Primary number "1" appears in parentheses.
Page 45 ▶ Dashboard The Dashboard shows inlets, OCPs, alerted sensors, and inlet history for the entire linked chain. In this example, data for the single inlet of the primary "My PDU (1)" Inlet I1, and the inlet of the link unit "My PDU (2)" Inlet I1, are displayed together. The OCPs for the units are also available together on the Dashboard page.
Page 46 ▶ Inlets Page On the Inlets page, the primary unit and link units are displayed together on the same page. In this example, data for the single inlet of the primary "My PDU (1)" Inlet I1, and the inlet of the link unit "My PDU (2)"...
Page 47 ▶ Viewing Outlets for Link Units On the Outlets page, you can switch from the primary to the link. 1) From the Outlets page drop-down, select the link unit "My PDU (2)". Note: To view outlets for a specific link unit, the link unit must be selected by name. All outlets of the link unit display for viewing and access exactly like the outlets of the primary unit.
Page 48 2) You can switch back to the primary unit by selecting "My PDU (1)". Note: The Switch control is only available when there is at least one link unit in the chain; otherwise, the page defaults to displaying only the outlets of the primary. 3) From the Outlets page (either primary or link), select an outlet in the list to view operational details for the specific outlet and to configure outlet settings.
Page 49: Outlet Groups
Outlet Groups An outlet group is a named collection of selected outlets. When user-defined, an outlet group can contain outlets from different PDUs, including both primary 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 primary and its link units can be collected in the same outlet group.
Page 50 ▶ Viewing Outlet Group Details Click an outlet group name in the list to display operations details for the outlet group. From this page, you can issue the outlet control actions On, Off, and Cycle (power cycling to restore the outlet) for all member outlets in the outlet group.
Page 51 ▶ To add an outlet group: 1) On the Outlet Groups page, click Add Group. The New Outlet Group page displays, defaulting to the outlets in the primary unit. 2) Type a name for the new outlet group. 3) Select individual member outlets for the primary as shown in the default page, or to select all outlets for the primary, select My PDU (1).
Page 52: Pairwise Outlet Groups
The following example shows the outlet group named "TEST 1" with all outlet members selected for the primary unit and outlet members 1-6 selected for the link unit. Controlling Outlets in Groups 1) From the Outlet Groups page, select an outlet group by name. 2) Click the desired control: On, Off, or Cycle.
