APC AP7900 Manuel D’Utilisation

To set up and use synchronized outlet control groups:

• You need a 10/100Base-T TCP/IP network, with an Ethernet hub or 

switch that has a power source not shared by the computers or other 
devices being synchronized.

• If outlets groups are to be synchronized across multiple Switched Rack 

PDUs, those Switched Rack PDUs must meet the following 
requirements:

– They must be on the same subnet.
– They must use firmware that has the same version number, which 

must be 2.6.1 or higher for both the APC Operating System (AOS) 
module and the Application module. As later firmware revisions 
become available, be sure to upgrade each Switched Rack PDU.

• You need a computer that can initiate synchronized control operations 

through the Web interface or control console of the Switched Rack 
PDUs or through SNMP.

• You must ensure that Multicast network traffic is allowed for the 

selected Multicast IP address by each switch that connects the 
Switched Rack PDUs.
