Date and Time Settings
Current System Time: Displays the date and time used in the PDU’s internal
clock for time stamping data entries in the data logs. This clock may be set
manually, or synchronized with a remote NTP Time Server over the Internet
(recommended).
Synchronize with NTP Server: Check this box to select automatic
synchronization with the external server. (recommended)
NTP Server: Enter the name or IP address of the NTP Server used for date
and time synchronization, such as “pool.ntp.org”.
Time Zone: Select the appropriate time zone relative to GMT for your unit so
that the NTP server time can be converted to your local time zone.
Set Time Manually: Checking this box will allow the unit’s clock and calendar
to be set manually by entering date and time in MM/DD/YY and HH:MM:SS
format.
Power-On Sequencing/Cycling
Sequence/Cycle Delay: Entering a time delay in this field (0-60s) will cause
all outputs to be enabled in sequence when the Enable All Outputs button is
pressed on the Status & Control page, rather than enabling all outputs
simultaneously. This delay helps prevent power surges that can occur when
too many devices are turned on at the same time. Setting this time to 0 or
leaving the box blank will cause all outputs to always be enabled
simultaneously. (Factory default).
Note the Sequence Delay time will also be used as the Power Cycling time
delay for each output that has the Power Cycling feature enabled on the
Output Setup page.
Reverse Sequence Order: Checking this box will cause the power on
sequence to run in reverse order with output channel 6 on first, ending with
output 1, when the Enable All Outputs button is pressed on the Status &
Control page.
Network Watchdog:
Select a Watchdog to edit: Select one of the six independent Watchdogs to
configure. Each Watchdog, if enabled, will cause the unit to periodically ping
up to two remote IP addresses to verify the network connection status. If
there is no response from either address the unit will cycle the power on all
outputs that are configured in the Cycle Outputs setting below. This feature
