Basic Configuration

2.Mostly Open: Access is granted by default, and the only clients denied access, are those explicitly listed in the Deny list, and as exceptions in the Allow list. To allow access to all clients except 192.255.255.192 and 168.112.112.05, the Allow and Deny lists would be defined as follows:

•Allow List:

1.ALL EXCEPT 192.255.255.192, 168.112.112.05

•Deny List:

1.192.255.255.192, 168.112.112.05

Notes:

•When defining a line in the Allow or Deny list that includes several IP addresses, each individual address is separated by either a space, a comma, or a comma and a space as shown in Example 2 above.

•Take care when using the "ALL" wild card. When ALL is included in the Allow list, it should always include an EXCEPT operator in order to allow the unit to proceed to the Deny list and determine any addresses you wish to deny.

5.9.4.Static Route

The Static Route menu allows you to type in Linux routing commands that will be automatically executed each time that the unit powers up or reboots. In the Text Interface, the Static Route menu is accessed via item 6 in the Network Configuration menu. In the Web Browser Interface, the Static Route menu is accessed by clicking the Static Route link, located on the left-hand side of the screen.

To access the Static Route Menus, proceed as follows:

•Text Interface: Type /N and press [Enter] to display the Network Parameters Menu (Figure 5.17.) At the Network Parameters Menu, type 6 and press [Enter] to display the Static Route Menu.

•Web Browser Interface: Place the cursor over the "Network Configuration" link on the left hand side of the screen. When the fly-out menu appears, click on the "Static Route" link to display the Static Route Menu.

5.9.5.Domain Name Server

The DNS menu is used to select IP addresses for Domain Name Servers. When web and network addresses are entered, the Domain Name Server interprets domain names (e.g., www.yourcompanyname123.com), and translates them into IP addresses. Note that if you don't define at least one DNS, then IP addresses must be used, rather than domain names.

To access the Domain Name Server Menu, proceed as follows:

•Text Interface: Type /N and press [Enter] to display the Network Parameters Menu (Figure 5.17.) At the Network Parameters Menu, type 7 and press [Enter] to display the Domain Name Server menu.

•Web Browser Interface: Place the cursor over the "Network Configuration" link on the left hand side of the screen. When the fly-out menu appears, click on the "DNS Server" link to display the Domain Name Server 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.
