Preliminary Information Features of the MasterSwitch PDU American Power Conversion’s MasterSwitch™ Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is a stand-alone, network-manageable device that allows programmable control of eight power outlets. MasterSwitch models AP9211 and AP9217 have NEMA 5-15 outlets. MasterSwitch models AP9212 and AP9218 have IEC-320 C13 outlets. You can remotely control a MasterSwitch PDU through its Web, SNMP, or Control Console network interfaces.
Preliminary Information continued Features of the MasterSwitch PDU, continued • An event log that you can display through the Control Console or Web interface to import into a spreadsheet application. • Compact design that requires only one U of rack space. • The ability to upgrade MasterSwitch firmware without affecting outlet state. Note: The MasterSwitch PDU does not provide power protection.
Installing MasterSwitch Overview Mounting in a NetShelter enclosure You can place the MasterSwitch PDU on a desktop or mount it in an enclosure. The procedure below instructs how to mount the unit in an APC NetShelter® Premium enclosure. You can also mount the unit into other EIA-310-D standard 19-inch racks. :. ! Remove the rubber feet from the bottom of the unit. " Attach the mounting brackets to the unit, using the two selftapping Phillips screws provided for each bracket.
Installing MasterSwitch continued Mounting in a NetShelter enclosure, continued # Choose a location that will occupy one U of space in the enclosure. (A notched hole on the vertical rail denotes the middle of a U-space.) $ Install a caged nut (provided with the enclosure) above and below a notched mounting hole on each vertical mounting rail. % Align the mounting holes of the brackets with the installed caged nuts. Insert and tighten the screws.
Quick Configuration Required configuration You must configure the following network settings for the MasterSwitch PDU before it can operate on a network: • IP address of the MasterSwitch PDU • Subnet Mask • IP address of the default gateway After you configure MasterSwitch network settings, no further configuration is required. The remaining MasterSwitch properties are pre-configured at the factory. However, you may want to customize these properties for your application.
Quick Configuration continued Configuring TCP/IP settings, continued Serially through the Control Console. If you are not using a Windows platform, or you require direct serial configuration, use the Serial Console port to configure the TCP/IP settings for the Management Card, as follows: 1. Connect the supplied null-modem cable (APC part number 940-0103) to an available serial port on your computer and to the serial port on the front panel of the MasterSwitch unit. 2.
Quick Configuration continued Configuring TCP/IP settings, continued Over the Network by ARP. To configure the TCP/IP settings of the MasterSwitch PDU using Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), perform the following steps: 1. Set up the unit and connect it to the network. 2. From a command prompt on a computer connected to the local subnet, type arp -s ip_addr_card mac_card. For example: arp -s 159.215.240.
Quick Configuration continued Configuring TCP/IP settings, continued 2. The BOOTP server provides network settings to the MasterSwitch PDU. If a boot-up file name was specified, the MasterSwitch PDU attempts to transfer that file from a TFTP or FTP server on the same computer as the BOOTP server. The MasterSwitch assumes all settings specified in the boot-up file. Note: You must use the Management Card Configuration Wizard to create the boot-up file.
