MasterSwitch 100V – User Guide 8 Chapter 1: Introduction The APC MasterSwitch is a network-manageable power control unit (PCU) that allows you complete, independent control of power to eight relay-controlled outlets. This control is programmable using any of the following strategies: n Web-based control. The MasterSwitch features embedded Web management. n Simple network management protocol (SNMP) control.
MasterSwitch 100V – User Guide 9 Front Panel The primary feature of the MasterSwitch is the programmable control of eight power outlets using embedded Web-based control, SNMP control, or the console program via telnet or the onboard serial port. Two connectors provide for the physical link for programming: n A built-in serial port, which connects a terminal (or terminal emulator) to access the console program.
MasterSwitch 100V – User Guide 10 Chapter 2: Initial Setup The MasterSwitch must have its network settings defined for it to function properly for SNMP, telnet, or embedded Web control of its output power: n n n n Its IP address The IP address of the default gateway The subnet mask HTTP and telnet port number (for Web-based or telnet control) How the MasterSwitch initially gets these values depends on whether or not you will be using a BOOTP server: n The MasterSwitch comes with the Bootstrap Prot
MasterSwitch 100V – User Guide 11 Chapter 3: Logging On This chapter describes how Web control, console program, and SNMP access is controlled so that only one control option (Web control, console or SNMP) can be used at a time for write activity. Note: References throughout this document to the console program apply to telnet sessions and serial communications sessions, which provide identical terminal-style menus.
MasterSwitch 100V – User Guide 12 Chapter 4: Configuring the MasterSwitch This chapter describes how to use SNMP, embedded Web control or the console program to configure the MasterSwitch and its eight, individually-manageable power outlets. Note: Most configuration functions can be performed using Web, SNMP or console control. However, some functions are unique to a given control method(s).
MasterSwitch 100V – User Guide 13 Master Power On Delay You can use Web, SNMP or console configuration commands to define how long a delay, if any, will occur between power being applied to the MasterSwitch and master power being provided to the MasterSwitch outlets. This allows you to sequence the master power when you want to make sure some other device has enough time to power-up before any of the MasterSwitch load devices begin to power-up.
MasterSwitch 100V – User Guide 14 Reboot Duration You can use Web, SNMP or console configuration commands to define how long a delay will occur between the power being turned off at the start of a reboot and the power being turned back on to complete the reboot. This delay, which applies to the reboot activity at all outlets, allows you to ensure that the MasterSwitch is configured for a delay that meets the need of any device that is connected to any of the MasterSwitch outlets.
MasterSwitch 100V – User Guide 15 Chapter 5: Controlling the MasterSwitch This chapter describes how you can use Web, SNMP or console commands (telnet or serial sessions) to control output power from the MasterSwitch, as a unit, or from each outlet, individually. Overview Using configuration options (Chapter 4) you can control power output from the MasterSwitch by defining such values as when master power is supplied to the outlets, and then sequence the power output from each outlet.
MasterSwitch 100V – User Guide 16 Chapter 6: Using the Console Program This chapter describes how to use the console program to configure and control output power from the MasterSwitch as a unit, or from each outlet individually. The console program is accessed via the serial port or via telnet. Functions The console program allows you to perform all MasterSwitch configuration and control functions except definition of URL links for the MasterSwitch and its outlets.
MasterSwitch 100V – User Guide 17 Accessing the Console Program There are two methods of accessing the console program: via the serial port or via telnet. Via the Serial Port 1) Connect one end of the cable that came with the MasterSwitch to the connector labeled “Serial Port” at the front of the MasterSwitch . 2) Connect the remaining end of the cable to the serial port of the terminal (or terminal emulator). 3) Set the terminal serial port for 19200 baud and press .
