OUTLET MANAGED PDU

On - Callback ONLY (With Password Prompt): Callbacks will be performed for accounts that include a Callback Number, and the username/ password prompt will be displayed when the user’s modem answers (users will be required to re-enter their username/password when their modem answers.) Accounts that do not include a Callback Number will not be able to access command mode via modem.

•Callback Attempts: The number of times that the Outlet Managed PDU will attempt to contact the Callback number. (Default = 3 attempts.)

•Callback Delay: The amount of time that the Outlet Managed PDU will wait between Callback attempts. (Default = 30 seconds.)

Notes:

•After configuring and enabling Callback Security, you must then define a callback phone number for each desired user account (as described in Section 5.5) in order for this feature to function properly.

•When using the "On - Callback (With Password Prompt)" option, it is important to remember that accounts that do not include

a callback number will be allowed to access command mode without callback verification.

5.3.5.Power Source Configuration

The Power Configuration menu allows you to adjust power measurements in order to obtain a more accurate determination of how much "real power" is being used by devices connected to the Outlet Managed PDU. Real Power is determined by the following equation:

Real Power =

(Voltage * Amps) * Power Factor

Power Efficiency

 

To define Power Configuration parameters, access the command mode using an account that permits access to Administrator level commands and then activate the System Parameters Menu.

Notes:

•In the Text Interface, power source configuration parameters are defined via the Power Configuration menu.

•In the Web Browser Interface, power source configuration parameters are selected via the System Parameters menu.
