MGE UPS Systems Switched PDU User Manual

 

 

3. Operations 

Interfaces 

The Switched PDU has two interfaces: the HTML interface accessed via the HTTP enabled Ethernet 
connections and the command line for serial and Telnet connections. 

For commands requiring an outlet name, you may specify it in one of two ways: a predefined absolute name or 
a descriptive name assigned by an administrator. 

Absolute names are specified by a period (.) followed by a tower letter and outlet number.  The tower letter for 
the PTXL is A and the tower letter for the optional Expansion Module is B.   

Outlets may also be included in one or more named groups of outlets, enabling you to issue a command that 
affects all outlets in a named group.  

The Switched PDU has one predefined administrative user account (username/password: admn/admn) and 
supports a maximum of 128 defined user accounts

 

NOTE: For security, MGE UPS SYSTEMS recommends removal of the predefined administrative user account 
after a new account with administrative rights has been created.  

Only an administrative-level user may perform operations such as creating/removing user accounts and command 
privileges, changing passwords and displaying outlet and user information. An administrator may also view the 
status of and control power to all outlets. 

The administrator may create additional user accounts and then grant these users the right to view the status of 
and control power to specific outlets, groups and ports. 

Usernames may contain from 1 to 24 characters and are not case sensitive; spaces are not allowed. Passwords 
may contain up to 16 characters, and are case sensitive.
