Chapter 3 Monitored ePDU Operation This chapter explains how to use the Monitored ePDU. It describes the Ethernet port (RJ-45) on the front of the Monitored ePDU and how to use the display panel. See Figure 3 for Monitored ePDU features. Outlets Circuit Breakers Reset Hole Display Panel Ethernet Port (RJ-45) Figure 3.
Monitored ePDU Operation Ethernet (RJ-45) To connect to a local network, use a customer-supplied RJ-45 straight-through patch cable. Use the Ethernet port (RJ-45) to connect the ammeter for remote reporting of the ammeter-measured values Display Panel The display panel is near the outlets on the Monitored ePDU (see Figure 4). Figure 4. Display Panel The ammeter can measure up to eight channels depending on the configuration and specification of the ePDU.
Monitored ePDU Operation ePDU Remote Current Meter Setup Guide Description The current meter included in this product has both a local LED display and an RJ45 network interface. The local meter display rotates among all of the current channels and uses a descriptor, “Cn” (where C is the channel number and n is the section number), to indicate which channel is to be displayed next.

Chapter 4 Three-Phase Load Balancing This chapter explains the relationship between input and output load currents in a three‐phase Monitored ePDU . This information applies to any three‐phase Monitored ePDU. See Figure 5 for an example of a 30A three-phase system. Display L21 - 30P 30A/208V Three-Phase Figure 5. 30A Three-Phase System Example The three-phase input voltage is 208V phase-to-phase and 120V phase-to-neutral. Figure 5 shows two types of outlets: S IEC 320-C13 outlets.
Three-Phase Load Balancing If the applied load uses the NEMA 5-15 outlet, it is connected between just one phase and neutral. As a result, the output current drawn through this outlet is only drawn through one input phase and the input equals the output. While this connection is simple if considered alone, mixed outlet types on the ePDU causes complicated relationships that are difficult to calculate.
Chapter 5 Monitored ePDU Web Interface This chapter explains: S Hardware connection S Configuring Internet protocol settings to access the user interface S Displaying ampere readings of the current transformers S Configuring Monitored ePDU parameters Hardware Setup To use the network interface, connect a standard Ethernet cable (included) from the RJ45 connector labeled NET on the top of the unit (see Figure 3) to an available port on a network switch.
Monitored ePDU Web Interface Figure 6. ePDU Status Window (Typical) Readings The READINGS screen presents the current readings of the unit and functions as the Home screen. This screen is displayed immediately after a user logs in. CURRENT MEASUREMENTS: This field displays the names of each channel. The values show how much current is being drawn by each channel. The number of channels in this field varies because different models have a different number of channels.
Monitored ePDU Web Interface Configuration Figure 7. ePDU Configuration Window (Typical) After any changes are made, the Save Settings (Figure 8) button at the bottom of the page must be pressed for any changes to take effect. If the web interface is closed without pressing this button, all changes will be lost. If settings with an asterisk (*) are changed, the ePDU will reboot after pressing the Save Settings button (Figure 8). The user will have to reconnect to the unit after about 15 seconds.
Monitored ePDU Web Interface Network Settings Unit IP Address: This value should be entered in standard dot notation (e.g., 192.168.168.168) Net mask: This value should be entered in standard dot notation (e.g., 255.255.255.0) It requires a soft reboot to take effect. Gateway: This value should be entered in standard dot notation (e.g., 192.168.168.1) It requires a soft reboot to take effect. Mac Address: This value is unique to each unit and cannot be changed.
Monitored ePDU Web Interface Names: Up to 31 characters can be used to set names for each channel. Upper Threshold: Whenever the reading rises above the upper threshold, email alerts and/or SNMP traps may be sent depending on the Network Settings under Configuration. Lower Threshold: Whenever the reading falls below the lower threshold, email alerts and/or SNMP traps may be sent depending on the Network Settings under Configuration.

Chapter 6 Switched ePDU Operation This chapter provides the environmental specifications, lists available Switched ePDU accessories, and explains the operation features.
Switched ePDU Operation CAUTION S The current limit values defined for the ePDU output circuits should be observed (13.9A shown in Figure 9) to prevent input overload. The input load current limits for the supply must be observed to prevent the risk of overload to the supply circuit breaker (4, 5, and 6, with a 24A limit shown in Figure 9). S Failure to observe these limits may cause loss of power because the circuit breaker will open when overloaded.

Switched ePDU Admin Using the Web Interface User Configuration Up to 11 non-Admin users can be set up with separate user accounts and access rights. Non-admin users can log in to the serial, Telnet, and Web interfaces, but they have limited access. The menus available allow the non-Admin user to view only outlet and environmental status and control outlets to which the user has been given access. See Figure 25 for an example of the User Configuration page and Table 28 for a description of the fields.
Switched ePDU Admin Using the Web Interface Log Configuration The Log Configuration page contains all settings related to logs and alerts (see Figure 26). Logs are kept of the items selected under Events To Log and sent by e-mail either on a periodic basis or every time the log is full. Alerts are also enabled for the items selected under Alerts To Send and are sent immediately after the event occurs. Both logs and alerts are sent through e-mail only and cannot be viewed from any of the user interfaces.
Switched ePDU Admin Using the Web Interface Table 29. Log Configuration Settings Section Field Description Sending the Log Mail Server Enter standard dot notation (for example, 192.168.168.1). All e-mail is sent through this server using the SMTP protocol. Send Log To 1 Up to 30 characters. Specifies an e-mail address where all logs are to be sent. Send Log To 2 Up to 30 characters.

Chapter 10 Switched ePDU Admin Using the SNMP Interface The Switched ePDU SNMP interface conforms to version 2c of the SNMP protocol. To use this interface, the Switched ePDU must first have valid network settings and be accessible from one other interface (serial, Telnet, or Web) for setup purposes. A MIB file for a Switched ePDU should also be downloaded from www.eaton.com/powerquality. SNMP is disabled by default. The Admin user can enable SNMP and configure community settings.

Chapter 11 Switched ePDU Advanced Features This chapter explains the following advanced features of the Switched ePDU: S Strapping (connecting Switched ePDUs together) S Advanced boot configuration S Contact sensor wiring S Recovering from a lost password Strapping Strapping is an advanced feature of the Switched ePDU that enables you to connect up to 24 Switched ePDUs together under one common network address using RS-485 serial communication.
Switched ePDU Advanced Features There are some communication limitations due to the lack of Ethernet connectivity. Because secondary Switched ePDUs are not connected directly to the network, some functionality is disabled, including the Web interface, the Telnet interface, the SNMP interface, SNMP traps, and e-mail logs and alerts. Authentication is done solely through the primary Switched ePDU, and only the primary Switched ePDU's Admin user has the ability to use strapping.
Switched ePDU Advanced Features Advanced Boot Configuration The Switched ePDU offers advanced configuration options using the serial interface. To access these options: 1. Establish a serial connection to the Switched ePDU (follow the steps in Chapter 7, “Initial Configuration” on page 27). 2. If the Switched ePDU is connected to a power source, log in and go to the Main Menu, then select option 6 to do a Soft Reboot. If the Switched ePDU does not have power, connect it to a power source. 3.
