OUTLET MANAGED PDU

8.4.The Plug Group Status Screen

The Plug Group Status screen shows the configuration details and On/Off status for the Outlet Managed PDU’s user-defined Plug Groups.

Notes:

When the Plug Group Status Screen is viewed by an "Administrator" or "SuperUser" level account, all Outlet Managed PDU plugs and plug groups are listed. When the Plug Status Screen is viewed by a "User" or "ViewOnly" level account, the screen will list only the plug groups that are allowed by that account.

In order to display the Plug Group Status screen, you must first define at least one Plug Group as described in Section 5.6.

To display the Plug Group Status Screen via the Text Interface, type /SG and then press [Enter]. To display the Plug Status Screen via the Web Browser Interface, click on the "Plug Group Status" link. The Plug Group Status Screen lists the following parameters for each Plug Group:

Group Name: The user-defined name for each Plug Group.

Plug: The alphanumeric number of each switched outlet in the Plug Group.

Plug Name: (Web Interface Only) The User Defined name for each switched outlet in the Plug Group.

Default: The Default On/Off value for each switched outlet in the Plug Group.

Boot Seq. Delay: The user-defined Boot/Sequence Delay for each switched outlet in the Plug Group.

Status: The On/Off status of each switched outlet in the Plug Group. If the Status column includes an asterisk, this means that this outlet is busy completing another command, that was previously invoked, either by you or another user.

Amps: The current, in Amps, being consumed by each switched outlet as well as the total current, in Amps, being consumed by each Plug Group.

SNMP Index: (Text Interface Only) A permanent reference number that the Outlet Managed PDU assigns to each Plug Group. The SNMP Index number allows MIB commands to be addressed to a specific Plug Group. The SNMP Index number will not change when other Plug Groups are deleted or created.
