USER’S GUIDE

Switched Rack PDU

• Four levels of user access accounts—Administrator, Device User, Read-Only User,

and Outlet User.

• Event and data logging—the event log is accessible by Telnet, Secure CoPy (SCP),

File Transfer Protocol (FTP), serial connection, or Web browser (using HTTPS

access with SSL, or using HTTP access). The data log is accessible by Web

browser, SCP, and FTP

• E-mail notifications for Rack PDU and system events

• SNMP traps, Syslog messages, and e-mail notifications based on the severity level

or category of Rack PDU and system events

• A selection of security protocols for authentication and encryption

Initial setup

You must define three TCP/IP settings for the Switched Rack PDU before it can

operate on the network.

• IP address of the Rack PDU

• Subnet mask

• IP address of the default gateway

The Rack PDU does not provide power protection. Therefore, APC

does not recommend plugging a unit directly into any unprotected

power source, such as a wall outlet.

Caution

Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default

gateway address. It disables the Switched Rack PDU and

requires you to reset TCP/IP settings to their defaults using a local

serial login.
