Mount the PT22..........................................................................................................................9 Connect to the power source ..................................................................
Equipment Overview 1. The power inlet/cord(s) connect the PT22 to the electrical power source. 2. Two RJ45 connectors for serial (RS-232) and Ethernet connection. 3. Two mini RJ11 connectors for temperature/humidity sensors. A number is printed above each PT22 outlet. These numbers can be used in commands that require an outlet name. For more information about outlet names, see the section “Outlet Naming and Grouping” in Chapter 3 – Operations. Figure 1.
IPv6 and Sentry Products Server Technology is introducing IPv6 “dual stack” support to the PT22 product line. IPv6 has been designed to succeed IPv4 as the dominant communications protocol for internet traffic, to avoid depletions of the IPv4 address space, and to allow more IP address growth. Many devices already in use support IPv6. IPv6 has several new operational methods: Static IPv6 Address: The IPv6 equivalent of Static IPv4.
Network-Enabled Modes NOTES: For all network-enabled modes described below, the unit will set an auto-configured IPv6 address, and if IPv6 router announcements are active, a stateless DHCP IPv6 address will also be set. Further, in all network-enabled modes, at least one IPv4 or one IPv6 address will be active. For maximum backward compatibility, the default network mode is “IPv4 only”. Network disabled: No IPv4 or IPv6 addresses available.
Viewing Network Status You can obtain the IPv6 network status through the firmware Web Interface (Network page) or Command Line Interface (CLI). For the CLI, use the show network command as follows: Switched CDU: show network Network Settings State: DHCP IPv6/IPv4 Network: Dual IPv6/IPv4 Link: Up Negotiation: Auto Speed: 100 Mbps Duplex: Full Dual IPv6/IPv4 AutoCfg IPv6: FE80::20A:9CFF:FE52:4104/64 IPv6 Address: FD01::1:B51A:E03C/64 IPv4 Address: 10.1.6.230 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 IPv4 Gateway: 10.1.

Setting the error trap repeat timer: The Set SNMP Traptime command sets the timer period between repeated error condition traps.
To display SNMP configuration information: At the Switched CDU: prompt, type show snmp and press Enter.
Status trap A Status trap is generated when an error condition occurs on a tower, infeed, Environmental Monitor or individual sensor. Status traps include the reported status, the location of the PT22, and identifier/name of the affected tower, infeed, outlet, environmental monitor, or sensor. Any error state generates a Status trap and triggers the trap timer. A new trap is generated at the end of every timer period until the Status returns to a non-error status. All status traps are enabled by default.
Load Trap The Load trap is generated whenever the total input load on an infeed exceeds a preset threshold. Load traps include the reported input load, load status, Location of the PT22, and identifier/name of the affected infeed. Any error state generates a Load trap and triggers the trap timer. A new trap is generated at the end of every timer period until the Load returns to a non-error status.

LDAP The PT22 supports Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Version 3. This support enables authentication with LDAP servers; user accounts do not need to be individually created locally on each unit. This allows administrators to pre-define and configure (in each PT22 and in the LDAP server) a set of necessary LDAP Groups, and access rights for each. User’s access rights can then be assigned or revoked simply by making the user a member of one-or-more pre-defined PT22 LDAP Groups.
Enabling and Setting up LDAP Support There are a few configuration requirements for properly enabling and setting up LDAP support. Below is an overview of the minimum requirements. Directory Services server configuration requirements: 1. 2. Define at least one LDAP group. Assign users to that LDAP group. PT22 configuration requirements: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Enable LDAP support. Define the IP address and domain component of at least one Directory Services server.
Setting the LDAP bind password type: The Set LDAP Bind command sets the password type used in the bind requests. The PT22 supports two standard LDAP bind methods: Simple and MD5. The Simple method uses unencrypted delivery of a username-password over the network to the Active Directory server for authentication. The MD5 digest method provides much stronger protection using 1-way hash encoding that never transmits the username-password over the network. NOTE: Windows 2000 supports only Simple binding.
Setting the group membership value type: The Set LDAP GroupType command is used to specify whether the values of Group Membership Attribute represent the Distinguished Name (DN) of a group or just the name of the group. To set group membership value type: At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set ldap grouptype followed by DN or Name and press Enter.
Setting the authentication order: The Set Authorder command sets the authentication order for remote authentication sessions. The PT22 supports two methods for authentication order - Remote -> Local and Remote Only. The Remote -> Local method first attempts authentication with the Active Directory server and if unsuccessful with the local user database on the unit. The Remote Only method attempts authentication only with the Active Directory server and if unsuccessful, access is denied.
Setting the DNS IP address: The Set DNS command sets the TCP/IP address of the Domain Name server (DNS). NOTE: LDAP requires the definition of at least one Domain Name System (DNS) server. To display the DNS configuration information, use the Show Network command as described on page 69. To set the DNS IP address: At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set, followed by dns1 or dns2 and the Domain Name server’s IP address. Press Enter. NOTE: Both IPv4 and IPv6 formats are accepted for IP address.
Setting LDAP group access level privileges: The Set LDAPGroup Access command sets the access level privileges for an LDAP group. The PT22 has four defined access privilege levels; Admin, User, On-Only, and View-Only. To set the access level privilege for an LDAP group : At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set ldapgroup access, followed by admin, user, ononly or viewonly, optionally followed by a LDAP group name and press Enter.
Deleting outlet access for an LDAP group: The Delete OutletFromLDAP command removes an LDAP group’s access to one or all outlets. You cannot remove access to any outlet for an administrative level group. To delete outlet access for an LDAP group: At the Switched CDU: prompt, type delete outletfromldap, optionally followed by an outlet name and a group name. Press Enter, or Type delete outletfromldap all, followed by a group name and press Enter.
Displaying LDAP Group access: The List LDAPGroup command displays all access rights for an LDAP group. To display LDAP Group access: At the Switched CDU: prompt, type list ldapgroup, optionally followed by a group name. Press Enter. Example The following command displays information about the LDAP group PowerUser: Switched CDU: list ldapgroup poweruser Username: PowerUser Outlet ID Outlet Name .A1 .

TACACS+ The PT22 supports the Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) protocol. This enables authentication and authorization with a central TACACS+ server; user accounts do not need to be individually created locally on each unit. This allows administrators to pre-define and configure (in each unit, and in the TACACS+ server) a set of necessary TACACS+ privilege levels, and users access rights for each.
Setting the TACACS+ server address: The Set TACACS Host command sets the IP address or hostname of the TACACS+ server. NOTE: Both IPv4 and IPv6 formats are accepted for IP address or hostname. To set the TACACS+ server address: At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set tacacs, followed by host1 or host2 and the TACACS+ server’s IP address or hostname. Press Enter. Examples The following command sets the primary TACACS+ server address to 98.76.54.32: Switched CDU: set tacacs host1 98.76.54.
Setting the authentication order: The Set Authorder command sets the authentication order for remote authentication sessions. The PT22 supports two methods for authentication order - Remote -> Local and Remote Only. The Remote -> Local method first attempts authentication with the TACACS+ server and if unsuccessful with the local user database on the PT22 device. The Remote Only method attempts authentication only with the TACACS+ server and if unsuccessful, access is denied.
Granting and removing input status viewing privileges: The Set TacPriv Envmon command grants or removes input status viewing privileges to/from a TACACS+ account. To grant or remove input status viewing privileges for a TACACS+ account: At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set tacpriv envmon, followed by on or off, optionally followed by a TACACS+ account number and press Enter.
Adding outlet group access to a TACACS+ account: The Add GroupToTACACS command grants a TACACS+ account access to an outlet group. To grant access for more than one outlet group, you must use multiple Add GroupToTACACS commands. To grant outlet group access to a TACACS+ account: At the Switched CDU: prompt, type add grouptotacacs, optionally followed by an outlet group name and a TACACS+ account number. Press Enter.
Members of the TACACS privilege level 1 account can access the following outlets, outlet groups and serial ports: outlet A1 which has a descriptive name of DataServer_1, outlet A2 which has a descriptive name of WebServer_1, group ServerGroup_1 group ServerGroup_2 and Console serial port.
RADIUS The PT22 supports the Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) protocol. RADIUS provides a centralized network protocol to enable remote authentication and authorization, such as user names and passwords. With a central RADIUS server, user accounts do not need to be individually created locally on each unit. This allows administrators to pre-define and configure (in each PT22 and in the RADIUS server), a set of necessary RADIUS privilege levels and user access rights for each level.
Setting the RADIUS server address: The Set RADIUS Server command sets the IP address or hostname of the primary or secondary server used for RADIUS authentication requests. NOTE: Both IPv4 and IPv6 formats are accepted for primary/secondary IP address or hostname. To set the RADIUS server address: At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set radius, followed by primary or secondary, followed by server, and the RADIUS server’s IP address or hostname (maximum 63 characters). Press Enter.
Setting the number of RADIUS server retries: The Set RADIUS Retries command specifies the number of times an authentication request is sent to the RADIUS server. The PT22 will attempt authentication with the primary server until the number of retries is reached, then will attempt authentication with the secondary server. If the PT22 does not receive a response from these attempts, the authentication request will be rejected.
Vendor-Specific Attributes (VSA): Server Technology has defined and formatted RADIUS vendor-specific attributes (VSA) in the dictionary.sti file, which is available from Server Technology. The PT22 unit is configured to recognize and use the configuration values in the file as specified by the network administrator, indicating to the RADIUS server that the defined attributes are based on Server Technology’s unique enterprise vendor code. Using the format of the dictionary.
Logging The PT22 supports logging of system events both internally and externally. An internal log of more than 4000 events is automatically maintained and is reviewable by administrative users. For permanent/long-term log storage, the unit supports the Syslog protocol. And for immediate notification, the unit supports Email notifications. Log entries include a sequential entry number, a date/time stamp and an event message.
Displaying Syslog configuration information: The Show Syslog command displays Syslog configuration information. To display the Syslog configuration information: At the Switched CDU: prompt, type show syslog and press Enter. Example The following command displays the Syslog configuration information: Switched CDU: show syslog SYSLOG Configuration Primary Host: Secondary Host: Port: 10.1.2.
Changing the SMTP server port: With SMTP support enabled, the PT22 sends SMTP requests to the default SMTP port number 25. This port number can be changed using the Set Email SMTP Port command. To change the TACACS port: At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set email smtp port, followed by the port number and press Enter.
Setting the ‘To’ email address: The Set Email PrimaryTo and Set Email SecondaryTo commands set the recipient email addresses. To set the ‘To’ email address: At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set email, followed by primaryto or secondaryto and the destination email address. Press Enter. Examples The following command sets the primary ‘to’ email address to DayAdmin@servertech.com: Switched CDU: set email primaryto DayAdmin@servertech.
