Chapter 4: Using the Dominion PX Outlets The number of outlets on the back panel depends upon the Dominion PX model. To the upper left of each outlet is a small LED. The units are shipped from the factory with all outlets powered ON. The table below explains how to interpret the different LED states. LED State Outlet Status What it Means Not lit (Light grey) Unit OFF The outlet is not connected to power or the control circuitryʹs power supply is broken.
Back Panel LED Display The LED display is located adjacent to the outlets on the Zero U model, and on the back right of the 1U and 2U models. The following picture shows the LED display.
Chapter 4: Using the Dominion PX The LED display consists of these components: • A lower row displaying two digits • An upper row displaying three digits • Up and Down buttons Note: The small hole between the lower row and the Down button is the reset hole. The Dominion PX unit can be reset to its factory default values through this hole when connected to the serial port. Refer to Resetting to Factory Defaults (on page 16) section for additional details.
Circuit Breaker Tip: A quick way to distinguish between voltage, current, and power is the placement of the decimal point in the display. Voltage has no decimal point, current has a decimal point between the first and second digits, and power has a decimal point between the second and third digits. You can view the current and voltage for the entire Dominion PX unit by using the Up and Down buttons to select the outlet number 00. The LEDs do not show the active power for the unit and display ‐‐‐ instead.
Chapter 4: Using the Dominion PX Beeper The Dominion PX includes a beeper.

To display information for all outlets, type the wildcard asterisk (*) instead of a number. Attributes You can use the name and powerState attributes to filter the output of the show command. The name attribute displays only the name of the outlet, and the powerState attribute displays only the power state (on or off).
Appendix C: Using the CLP Interface Examples The following are examples of the show command. Example 1 -- No Attributes The following shows the output of the show command with no attributes entered. Example 2 -- Name Attribute The following shows the output of the show command with the name attribute. Example 3 -- powerState Attribute The following shows the output of the show command with the powerState attribute.
Turning an Outlet On or Off Turning an Outlet On or Off The set command turns an outlet on or off. Syntax The following is the syntax for the set command: clp:/-> set /system1/ powerState=on|off where the keyword on turns the outlet on and the keyword off turns the outlet off.
Appendix D Using SNMP This Appendix will help you set up Dominion PX for use with an SNMP manager. The Dominion PX can be configured to send traps to an SNMP manager, as well as receive GET and SET commands in order to retrieve status and configure some basic settings. In This Chapter Enabling SNMP..............................................................................................132 Configuring SNMP Traps.............................................................................
Enabling SNMP Enabling SNMP To communicate with an SNMP manager, you must first enable the SNMP agent on Dominion PX. This can be done from the SNMP Settings window: 132 1. Select Device Settings, and then select SNMP Settings. The SNMP Settings window appears. 2. Check the box for Enable SNMP Agent to enable the Dominion PX to communicate with external SNMP managers. A number of options will then become available. 3.

Type the SNMP MIBII sysContact value in the System Contact field. 3. Click on the link at the bottom of the window to download an SNMP MIB for your Dominion PX to use with your SNMP manager. 4. Click Apply. The SNMP configuration is set.
Enabling SNMP Configuring Users for Encrypted SNMP v3 The SNMP v3 protocol allows for encrypted communication. To take advantage of this, users will need to have a Encryption Phrase,which acts as a shared secret between them and the Dominion PX. This encryption phrase can be set in the User Management page. 134 1. Choose User Management, then Users & Groups. The User/Group Management window appears. 2. Select the user profile you want to modify from the drop‐down list in the Existing Users field. 3.
Appendix D: Using SNMP 4. If you want to specify a different encryption phrase, uncheck this box, type the new phrase in the SNMP v3 Encryption Phrase field, then type it again in the Confirm SNMP v3 Encryption Phrase field. 5. Click Modify. The user is now setup for encrypted SNMP v3 communication. Configuring SNMP Traps Dominion PX automatically keeps an internal log of events that occur (refer to Setting Up Event Logging under the Using the Web interface chapter).
SNMP Gets and Sets 6. When SNMP logging is enabled, seven event types appear in the Event Log Assignments panel to the right. All are disabled by default. To enable any of these event types, check the appropriate checkboxes. 7. Click Apply. SNMP logging is configured. Note: You should re‐download the Dominion PX MIB after updating the unitʹs firmware. This will ensure your SNMP manager has the correct MIB for the release you are using.
Appendix D: Using SNMP The Dominion PX MIB This MIB is available from the SNMP Settings page, the Event Logging page, or by pointing your browser to http:///MIB.txt, where is the IP address of your Dominion PX. Layout Opening the MIB will reveal the custom objects that describe the Dominion PX system at the unit‐level as well as at the individual‐outlet‐ level. As standard, these objects are first presented at the beginning of the file, listed under their parent group.
SNMP Gets and Sets For example, the unitSensorsGroup group contains objects for sensor readings of the Dominion PX as a whole. One object listed under this group, unitCurrent, is described later in the MIB as ʺThe value for the unitʹs current sensor in millampsʺ‐‐the measure of the current drawn by Dominion PX. outletCurrent, part of the outletsGroup group describes the current passing through a specific outlet. NOTE: When performing an SNMP get, all current values are measured in milliamps (ma).
Appendix E Using the IPMI Tool Set The IPMI tool set is command‐line that allows users to display channel information, print sensor data, and set LAN configuration parameters. The following explains the available IPMI commands. Note: The open source IPMI tool can be downloaded from sourceforge, and compiled on Linux system .Then users can interact with Dominion PX via IPMI protocol through this tool. An example at the Linux command shell is given as: $ ipmitool ‐I lan ‐H 192.168.51.
Channel Commands Example $ ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.51.58 -U admin -a channel authcap 14 5 Refer to the IPMI Privileges Levels section for additional information about IPMI privileges. info [channel number] Displays information about the selected channel.
