OUTLET MANAGED PDU

5.3.3.3. Reading and Erasing Logs

To read the status logs, proceed as follows:

Text Interface: Type /L and press [Enter] to access the Display Log menu. Select the desired Log from the menu, key in the appropriate number and press [Enter], and then follow the instructions in the resulting submenu.

Web Browser Interface: Move the cursor over the "Current Metering," "Power Metering" or "Logs" link. When the flyout menu appears, click on the desired option and then follow the instructions in the resulting submenu.

Note:

You can also display current readings via the Current Metering function. In the Text Interface, type /M and then press [Enter].

To erase log data, access command mode via the Text Interface, using an account that permits Administrator level commands, then type /L and press [Enter] to access the Display Logs menu and proceed as follows:

Audit Log: At the Display Logs menu, type 1 and then press [Enter]. When the Audit Log appears, type E and press [Enter] to erases the Audit Log.

Alarm Log: At the Display Logs menu, type 2 and then press [Enter]. When the Alarm Log appears, type E and press [Enter] to erase the Alarm Log.

Current Metering Log and Power Metering Log: At the Display Logs menu, type 3 and press [Enter]. When the Current Metering Log menu appears, type 5 and press [Enter] to erase the Current Metering Log and Power

Metering Log.

Notes:

The Outlet Managed PDU dedicates a fixed amount of internal memory for log records, and if log records are allowed to accumulate until memory is filled, data will eventually "wrap around," and older data will be overwritten by newer data.

Note that once records have been erased, they cannot be recovered.
