  • Page 29: 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 30 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 31 ▶ 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 32: 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.

    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 34 ▶ 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.
  • Page 35: 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 36 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 37 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 38 ▶ 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 39: 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 40: 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.

  • Page 46: 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 47 ▶ 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 48 ▶ 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).

Monitoring Server Accessibility You can monitor whether specific IT devices are alive by having the PX4 continuously ping them.
  • Page 319 PX4 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.
