Part IV. FAQ < 4.1 > InfraPower Manager - IPM-01 1. What is InfraPower Manager? The InfraPower Manager IPM-01 is a Windows based system to consolidate management of max. 240 PDUs via 15 IP dongles, using a simple web interface which monitors and controls the MTS / MT PDUs in the data center. Authorized users have a secure control over outlets to power ON / OFF at the managed device level. It also provides the detailed PDU and event logged records, and sends alarm email once ampere overloading.
10. Can the MTS / MT PDUs connect the KVM switch? Yes, only CyberView IP KVM switch. In this connection, IP dongle will not be needed. For the details, please find the link below: http://www.austin-hughes.com/support/usermanual/infrapower/UM-IPS-01.pdf 11. Does the IP dongle support web browser access? Yes, the IP dongle features a browser-based built-in graphical user interface (GUI) that can configure, monitor and power control to individual outlets.
< 4.3 > Meter for MTS & MT PDU 1. What is feature of the MT PDU? The MT PDU offers simple & highly reliable power distribution to multiple equipments, and built-in a digital ampere meter indicates the total power consumption of equipment connected to the PDU. The digital ampere meter has an interface which can connect to an IP dongle to the ethernet network, which allows managers to real-time remote monitor the PDU load thru the InfraPower manager (IPM-01). 2.
Part V. Troubleshooting < 5.1 > PDU disconnection 1. GUI shows a certain level PDU disconnected Step 1. PDU power off ? Check the PDU is power ON or not. Step 2. PDU level setting duplicated in the same PDU group ? Check and make sure PDU level is unique and not duplicated in the same PDU group. (Please refer to P.1 for the PDU level setting) 2. GUI shows from a certain level PDU to the last one disconnected Step 1. Cable disconnected, loose or defective ? Check the Cat.
< 5.2 > Replacement, Removal or addition for PDU & IP dongle 1. How to replace the failed IP dongle ? Step 1. Prepare a new IP dongle. Step 2. Disable alarm email in page. Step 3. Replace the failed IP dongle with the new one on 1st level PDU. Step 4. Configure the setting of the new IP dongle same as the old one. (Please refer to P.5 for IP dongle configuration) Step 5. Click Start Connection in page for the relevant IP dongle. Step 6. Enable alarm email in page again. 2.
< 5.2 > Replacement, Removal or addition for PDU & IP dongle 4. How to move out a PDU (without a replacement) ? Step 1. Prepare an appropriate length Cat. 5/6 cable. Step 2. Disable alarm email in page. Step 3. Use the Cat. 5/6 cable to bridge over the removed PDU to minimize log/data loss. Step 4. Power off & unplug the device(s) which connected to the PDU. Step 5. Power off & remove the PDU from connection. Step 6. Click Disable Monitoring in page to stop monitoring the removed PDU.
