Basic Configuration

TLS/SSL: Enables/Disables TLS/SSL encryption. Note that when TLS/SSL encryption is enabled, the LDAP Port should be set to 636. (Default = Off.)

Bind Type: Sets the LDAP bind request password type. Note that in the Text Interface, when the Bind Type is set to "Kerberos" LDAP menu will include an additional prompt (item 14) that is used to select Kerberos parameters as described in Section 5.9.8.5. In the Web Interface, the button which is used to access the Kerberos Parameters menu is located at the bottom of the LDAP Parameters Menu. (Default = Simple.)

Search Bind DN: Selects the user name who is allowed to search the LDAP directory. (Default = undefined.)

Search Bind Password: Sets the Password for the user who is allowed to search the LDAP directory. (Default = undefined.)

User Search Base DN: Sets the directory location for user searches. (Default = undefined.)

User Search Filter: Selects the attribute that lists the user name. Note that this attribute should always end with "=%S" (no quotes.) (Default = undefined.)

Group Membership Attribute: Selects the attribute that list group membership(s). (Default = undefined.)

Group Membership Value Type: (Default = DN.)

Fallback: Enables/Disables the LDAP fallback feature. When enabled, the MPC will revert to it's own internal user directory (see Section 5.5) if no defined users are found via the LDAP server. In this case, port access rights will then be granted as specified in the default LDAP group. (Default = Off.)

LDAP Group Setup: Provides access to a submenu, which is used to define LDAP Groups as described in the Sections 5.9.8.1 through 5.9.8.4.

Kerberos Setup: Provides access to the Kerberos Setup menu as described in Section 5.9.8.5. When the Bind Type parameter is set to "Kerberos", the Kerberos Setup menu is used to select Kerberos parameters. Note that in the Text Interface, the link to the Kerberos Setup menu will not be displayed unless the Bind Type has been set to Kerberos.

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.
