3. In the User field, enter the username.
4. In the Outlets field, ent erth e group name, IPDU number and outlets that t he user can

5. Click OK.
Outletentry conventions
In the most basic case, only the IPDU’s ID and th e outlets named in brackets follow ing the ID
are needed to specify which out lets will be accessible by the user. It is sometimes desirable to
have more control over outl et groups, daisy-chaine d IPDUs or which serial port on the conso le
server must be used for the permissions to be valid .The fol lowing table shows th e prefix,suffix
and syntax information used to sp ecify outlets in various circumstances.
Symbol Type Signifies Example
$ Prefix Group $C yclades_PDU would specify the Cyclades_PDU outlets group, and
thatthe user specified has permissionto control that group of o utlets.
!ttyS Prefix Ser ial port
!ttyS2 would specifyserial port 2 on the console server would be the
onlyone the user would have per missionsto use for IPDU management,
regardlessof t he IPDU or outlets specified.
Athrough Z Suffix
Order of
IPDUin
daisy-chain
!ttyS2-B[1- 8] would indicatethat serial port 2 on the console server
wouldbe used to control the second IPDU in the chain (B), followed by
theoutlet or range of outlets on tha t IPDU with user permissions.

NOTE: Daisy-chainedIPDUs ( A, B, C, etc.) create sequentially numbered outlets across IPDUs.
The following figure shows two dai sy-chained (master/slave) IPDUs connect ed to serial port 2
on the console server.
