OUTLET MANAGED PDU

7.7.The Power Cycle Alarm

The Power Cycle Alarm can provide notification when all input power to the Outlet Managed PDU is lost and then restored. When the power supply is lost and then restored, the Outlet Managed PDU can provide notification via Email, Syslog Message or SNMP Trap.

Notes:

This alarm will not function when only one power input line is disconnected. To provide notification when one power input line is lost or disconnected, please use the Lost Voltage (Line In) Alarm as described in Section 7.4.

In order for the Outlet Managed PDU to provide alarm notification via Email, communication parameters must first be defined as described in Section 5.9.11.

In order for the Outlet Managed PDU to provide alarm notification via Syslog Message, Syslog parameters must first be defined and Syslog Messages must be enabled as described in Section 5.9.2 and Section 11.

In order for the Outlet Managed PDU to provide alarm notification via SNMP Trap, SNMP parameters must first be defined, and SNMP Traps must be enabled as described in Section 5.9.7 and Section 12.

To configure the Power Cycle Alarm, you must access the Outlet Managed PDU command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands. The Power Cycle Alarm configuration menu offers the following parameters:

Trigger Enable: Enables/Disables the trigger for this alarm. When Disabled, this alarm will be suppressed. (Default = On.)

Email Message: Enables/Disables email notification for this alarm. (Default = On.)

Note:

The Email Message parameter offers four different options: On, Off, On (Copy to All Triggers) or Off (Copy to All Triggers). If either of the "Copy to All Triggers" options is selected, then email notification for all other alarms will be switched On or Off as indicated by this parameter. For example, If "Off (Copy to All Triggers)" is selected, then Email notification will be disabled for all other alarms too.
