Table 6.4: Expert - Applications - IPDU Power Mgmt Configuration Description
Shown Element Type Description
ID: Heading IPDU ID and port to which IPDU is connected.
Model: Heading Make and model of IPDU at the designated port.
ID Text field Names must begin with a letter. Valid characters are letters, numbers,
dash (-
) and underscore (_).
Polling Rate Number field Enter the polling time (how often the console server accesses the
IPDU for
updates) in milliseconds. Default is 10000ms.
Enable Syslog Checkbox Click this checkbox to enable/disab
le syslog logging (Cyclades IPDUs
only).
Enable Buzzer Checkbox Click this checkbox to enable/disable I
PDU alarm buzzer (Cyclades
IPDUs only).
Current
Threshold Max (A)
Number field Enter the maximum amperes allowed by the IPDU before generating
an alarm (
Cyclades IPDUs only). Exceeding the entered threshold
maximum current will also prevent the IPDU from powering up again
until the problem is corrected.
Total Load
Max (A)
Number field Enter the maximum amperes allowed by the IPDU before generating
an event. (
Always enabled, SPC and Server Technology IPDUs only.)
Total Load
Min (A)
Number field Usually set for zero, setting this field to a minimum value for
current
(amperes) is useful for monitoring if a device or devices lose power
unexpectedly, which will generate an event (Avocent SPC power
devices and Server Technology IPDUs only).
