Alarm Configuration

Email Message: Enables/Disables email notification for this alarm. (Default = On.)

Note: The Email Message parameter offers four different options: On, Off, On (Copy to All Triggers) or Off (Copy to All Triggers). If either of the "Copy to All Triggers" options is selected, then email notification for all other alarms will be switched On or Off as indicated by this parameter. For example, If "Off (Copy to All Triggers)" is selected, then Email notification will be disabled for all other alarms too.

Address 1, 2, and 3: These parameters are used to select which of the three email addresses defined via the "Email Messages" menu (see Section 5.9.11) will receive the email alarm notification messages generated by this alarm. The Address parameters can be used to select one, or any combination of the addresses defined via the Email Messages menu. (Default = All On.)

Note: If Email addresses have been previously defined, then the text under the parameters will list the current, user selected email addresses.

Subject: This parameter is used to define the text that will appear in the "Subject" field for all email notification messages generated by this alarm. (Default = "Alarm: Circuit Breaker Open")

7.4.The Lost Communication with AUX Units Alarm

The Lost Communication with AUX Units Alarm is intended to provide prompt notification when communication with the optional AUX MPC units is disrupted. When communication with an attached AUX unit is interrupted, the MPC can provide notification via Email, Syslog Message or SNMP Trap.

Notes:

In order for the MPC to provide alarm notification via Email, communication parameters must first be defined as described in Section 5.9.11.

In order for the MPC to provide alarm notification via Syslog Message, Syslog parameters must first be defined and Syslog Messages must be enabled as described in Section 5.9.2 and Section 11.

In order for the MPC to provide alarm notification via SNMP Trap, SNMP parameters must first be defined, and SNMP Traps must be enabled as described in Section 5.9.7 and Section 12.

To configure the Lost Communication with AUX Alarm, access the MPC command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands, then proceed as follows:

Text Interface: Type /AC and then press [Enter] to display the Alarm Configuration Menu. From the Alarm Configuration Menu, type 6 and press [Enter] to access the configuration menu for the Lost Communication with AUX Units Alarm.

Web Browser Interface: Click the "Alarm Configuration" link, located on the left hand side of the screen to display the Alarm Configuration Menu. From the Alarm Configuration Menu, click on the "Lost Communication with AUX Units" link to access the configuration menu.

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.
