Basic Configuration

•Alarm Log: Enables/disables the Alarm Log, and determines whether or not the Alarm Log will send SYSLOG messages to notify you of each logged event. When enabled, the Alarm Log will create a record of all alarm activity at the MPC unit. For more information on the MPC's event logging functions, please refer to Section 5.3.4. (Default = On without Syslog.)

•Current/Power Log: Enables/disables Current Metering Log and Power Metering Log. When enabled, the Current Metering Log will create a record of current consumption by each MPC branch/circuit and the Power Metering Log will create a record of power consumption (in Kilowatt Hours) versus time. For more information on the MPC's event logging functions, please refer to Section 5.3.4. (Default = On).

•Callback Security: Enables / configures the Callback Security Function as described in Section 5.3.5. In order for this feature to function, a Callback number must also be defined for each desired user account as described in Section 5.5. (Default = On, Callback, Without Password Prompt.)

Notes:

•In the Text Interface, Callback Security Parameters are defined via a submenu of the Systems Parameters Menu, which is accessed via the Callback Security item.

•In the Web Browser Interface, Callback Security Parameters are defined via a separate menu, which is accessed by clicking the "Callback Security" link on the left hand side of the screen.

•Front Panel Buttons: This item can be used to disable all front panel button functions, including the Display Selection Button and the reinitialization/default functions that are normally available via the Clear and Set buttons on the MPC front panel, as described in Section 2.4. (Default = On.)

5.3.1.The Real Time Clock and Calendar

The Real Time Clock menu is used to set the MPC's internal clock and calendar. To access the Real Time Clock Menu, proceed as follows:

•Text Interface: Type /F and press [Enter]. The System Parameters menu will appear as shown in Figure 5.3. At the System Parameters menu, type 3 and press [Enter] to display the Real Time Clock menu.

•Web Browser Interface: Click on the "Real Time Clock" link on the left hand side of the screen to access the Real Time Clock menu.

The configuration menu for the Real Time Clock offers the following options:

•Date: Sets the Month, Date, Year and day of the week for the MPC’s real-time clock/calendar.

•Time: Sets the Hour, Minute and Second for the MPC’s real time clock/calendar. Key in the time using the 24-hour (military) format.

The Western Telematic MPC series is renowned for its robust and versatile remote power management solutions. Among its offerings, the MPC-20VS16-3, MPC-20VD16-3, MPC-20VD20-2, MPC-20VS20-1, and MPC-20VS20-2 stand out as exceptional products tailored to meet the demands of modern telecommunications and data center environments.

One of the key features across this series is the ability to monitor and control up to 20 power outlets, which allows for efficient resource management and reduces downtime. Each model in the series accommodates various configurations, including both switched and non-switched outlets. This flexibility makes it easier for operators to manage power distribution according to their specific needs.

The integration of real-time monitoring capabilities is another highlight of the MPC series. Users can track power consumption, voltage, and current for each outlet, enabling better decision-making to optimize energy usage. This feature contributes significantly to the overall efficiency of operations, ensuring that resources are utilized effectively.

Communication is seamless with the Western Telematic MPC series, as these models are equipped with multiple network connectivity options. They support both SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and Telnet, facilitating easy integration with existing network management systems. Additionally, the devices can send alerts and notifications via email or SMS, keeping operators informed about any changes in power status or potential issues.

The MPC models are designed with redundancy and reliability in mind. They come equipped with advanced surge protection, ensuring sensitive equipment remains safe from power spikes. The rugged construction of the units ensures they can withstand the rigors of data center environments, with an emphasis on heat dissipation and airflow management.

Security features are also a priority. The MPC series includes user authentication and access control to prevent unauthorized users from manipulating power settings. The ability to set user permissions ensures that only designated personnel can operate sensitive components, enhancing operational security.

Energy efficiency is a guiding principle in the design of the MPC series. By providing tools for monitoring and controlling power usage, these devices contribute to a reduction in energy costs, aligning with sustainability goals sought by modern enterprises.

In conclusion, the Western Telematic MPC-20VS16-3, MPC-20VD16-3, MPC-20VD20-2, MPC-20VS20-1, and MPC-20VS20-2 are exemplary models in the field of remote power management. With features such as comprehensive outlet control, real-time monitoring, robust communication options, security protocols, and a focus on energy efficiency, these units are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the telecommunications and data center sectors. By implementing these advanced technologies, operators can enhance their operational capabilities while also contributing to long-term sustainability.
