The Reset threshold is the number of amps the reading needs to fall below the threshold setting for the condition to be cleared. For example, the current critical threshold for the input phase is set to 19 amps (A). The current draw rises to 20A, triggering a Current Critical alert. The current then continues to fluctuate between 18.1A and 20A.
3. Change the value for the number of milli-amps to set the threshold. Outlet Alarm Threshold The PANDUIT PDU will send alert notifications when an outlet amperage crosses above or below the settings you specify in the Outlet Alarms configuration: 1.
Repeat steps 1 - 3 for all outlets. Email Setup The Panduit PDU can be configured to send Emails to specific users when an event occurs. To do this, the information about the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server needs to be configured.
Figure 37: SMTP Account Settings 39. Set the Email Server Address. This is the IP address of the SMTP that is going to accept the messages. 40. Set the Sender Address. This is the email address that the email is sent from. You could use a unique email address on each PDU or the same email address across all PDUs.
2. Enter the desired email address and press Enable. 3. Press Save. Note: A maximum of 5 users can be entered to receive email alerts. Event Notifications The Panduit G6 iPDU can be configured to provide event notifications. INTELLIGENT PDU USER MANUAL...

Power Share Changed Data Log The period visible in the data log at any one time depends on the time between data log entries. The time range of each record can be configured from 1 to 1440 minutes. (As an example, if a data log is in an interval of 10 minutes, the entire data log contains 2000 records with up to 13.89 days of data.) Once the data log reaches the maximum of 2000 records, the oldest entries ae overwritten by the newer entries.

Section 5 – Daisy Chain Configuration Daisy-Chain Overview In daisy chain mode, up to (32) PDUs of the same SKU number, and on the same Firmware version, can be connected via one IP address. This allows users to gather information and data on all daisy-chained PDUs from the main PDU. The daisy chain functionality reduces network cost for PDUs.
Figure 74: Connection Diagram 6 PDU Daisy Chain RNA (Redundant Network Access) Functionality RNA allows secure access of PDU data and statistics on two separate, private networks. RNA must be used with a redundant power delivery design including two rack PDUs for each IT rack.
Figure 75: Connection Diagram RNA Daisy Chain How it works: • Using RNA, the main and expansion unit maintain two separate private networks that do not overlap. • RNA works using a redundant power delivery design (two rack PDUs for each IT rack).
