3. Operations This chapter contains information on commands and abilities available only in models equipped for remote monitoring. Interfaces The AmpMeter PDU has two interfaces: the HTML interface accessed via the HTTP enabled Ethernet connections and the command line for serial and Telnet connections.
3. Operations HTML Interface The HTML interface is constructed of three major components: the System Location bar, the User/Navigation bar and the Control Screen. The System Location bar displays the AmpMeter PDU’s location and IP address as well as the current Control Screen title. The User/Navigation bar displays the current user and privilege level and provides access to all HTML pages. And the Control Screen is used to display current data and allow changes to outlet states or system configuration.
3. Operations Environmental Monitoring The Environmental Monitoring section offers access to the Input Load page. This section is available to administrative level users and users with Environmental Monitoring view rights. Input Load The Input Load page displays the AmpMeter PDU (s) absolute and descriptive name and the cumulative input load in amperes of all devices attached to the AmpMeter PDU at the time the page was loaded. This page will refresh automatically every 10 seconds.
3. Operations Network The Network configuration page is used for maintenance of the network interface. From this page an administrator may configure the IP address, subnet mask and gateway address as well as view the link status, speed and duplex value. The AmpMeter PDU is configured with the following network defaults to allow unit configuration out-of-the-box through either Telnet or HTML: • • • IP address: Subnet Mask: Gateway: 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.
3. Operations Setting the HTTP authentication method: The AmpMeter PDU HTTP server supports two authentication methods for security and validation of the username-password – Basic and MD5 digest. The Basic method utilizes Base64 encoding to encode and deliver the username-password over the network to the HTTP server for decoding and authentication. This basic method is supported by all web browsers and offers a minimum level of security.
3. Operations Removing a user: Click on the Remove link in the Action column for the user to be removed and press Yes on the subsequent confirmation window. Changing a user password: Click on the Edit link in the Action column for the associated user. On the subsequent User Edit page, enter a password and verify the new password for the new user in the Password and Verify Password fields. For security, password characters are not displayed. Press Apply.
3. Operations Testing the FTP upload configuration: This test validates that the unit is able to contact and log onto the specified FTP server, download the firmware file and verify that the firmware file is valid for this unit. Press Test. SNTP The SNTP configuration page is used for setup and maintenance of SNTP support. Setting the SNTP Server Address: Enter the IP address in the primary and/or secondary address field and press Apply.
3. Operations Tools The Tools section contains access to rebooting the unit, uploading new firmware as well as resetting the unit to factory defaults. This section is available to administrative level users only. Restart Performing a warm boot: Select the Restart from the Action drop-down menu and press Apply. Note: System user/outlet/group configuration or outlet states are NOT changed or reset with this command.
3. Operations Command Line Interface Logging In Logging in through Telnet requires directing the Telnet client to the configured IP address of the unit. Logging in through the Console (RS232) port requires the use of a terminal or terminal emulation software configured to support ANSI or VT100 and a supported data rate (300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200 BPS) - 8 data bits-no parity-one stop bit and Device Ready output signal (DTR or DSR). To log in by RS-232 or Telnet: 1.

4. Advanced Operations This chapter contains information on commands and abilities available only in models equipped for remote monitoring. SSL Secure Socket Layers (SSL) version 3 enables secure HTML sessions between a AmpMeter PDU Remote Power Manager and a remote user. SSL provides two chief features designed to make TCP/IP (Internet) transmitted data more secure: • • Authentication – The connecting client is assured of the identity of the server.
4. Advanced Operations SSH Secure Shell (SSH) version 2 enables secure network terminal sessions between a AmpMeter PDU Remote Power Manager and a remote user over insecure network. SSH provides an encrypted terminal sessions with strong authentication of both the server and client, using public-key cryptography and is typically used as a replacement for unencrypted Telnet.
4. Advanced Operations SNMP The AmpMeter PDU family of products supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This allows network management systems to use SNMP requests to retrieve information and control power for the individual outlets. The AmpMeter PDU includes an SNMP v1 agent supporting standard MIB I and MIB II objects. NOTE: For security, SNMP support is disabled by default.
4. Advanced Operations Setting the trap timer The Set Traptime command sets the timer period between repeated error-condition traps. The valid range for the timer period is 1 to 65535 (in seconds). The default value for the timer period is 60 seconds. To set the trap timer: At the AmpMeter PDU: prompt, type set traptime, followed by the timer period and press Enter.
4. Advanced Operations Displaying SNMP configuration information The Show SNMP command displays all SNMP configuration information. • • • • SNMP support status SNMP community strings Trap timer value Trap destinations To display SNMP configuration information: At the AmpMeter PDU: prompt, type show snmp and press Enter.

4. Advanced Operations Temp Trap The Temp trap is generated whenever the temperature on a temperature/humidity sensor is beyond preset thresholds. Temp traps include the reported temperature, temp status, Location of the AmpMeter PDU, and identifier and name of the affected sensor. Any error state generates a Temp trap and triggers the trap timer. A new trap is generated at the end of every timer period until the Temp returns to a non-error status.
