with Auto-transformer v Introduction Product Features The APC by Schneider Electric Modular Power Distribution Unit provides power distribution and management of electrical power to equipment racks. The Modular PDU provides full management capabilities over a network using Telnet, Secure SHell (SSH), HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Secure CoPy (SCP), Modbus, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) versions 1 and 3. The Modular PDU also provides the following features: • Supports input contact and relay output monitoring for use with dry contact sensors. • Provides the ability to export a user configuration (.ini) file from a configured Modular PDU to one or more unconfigured Modular PDUs without converting the file to a binary file. • Supports using a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or BOOTP server to provide the network (TCP/IP) values for the Modular PDU. • Provides data and event logs. • Enables you to configure notification through event logging (by the Modular PDU and Syslog), e-mail, and SNMP traps. You can configure notification for single events or groups of events, based on the severity level or category of events. • Provides a selection of security protocols for authentication and encryption. Initial setup You must define three TCP/IP settings for the Modular PDU before it can operate on the network: • IP address of the Modular PDU • Subnet mask • IP address of the default gateway NOTICE Do not use the loopback address as the default gateway. Doing so disables the Modular PDU. You must then log on using a serial connection and reset TCP/IP settings to their defaults. To configure the TCP/IP settings, see the Modular PDU Installation and Start-Up Manual, available in printed form and on the APC Web site, www.apc.com. For detailed information on how to use a DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings at the Modular PDU, see “TCP/IP and Communication Settings” on page 23. User Guide 480V Modular PDU with Auto-transformer 1 Network management features These applications and utilities work with a Modular PDU that connects to the network through its Network Management Card: ® • APC StruxureWare Central—Provide enterprise-level power management and management of APC agents, Modular PDUs, information controllers, and environmental monitors ® • APC PowerNet Management Information Base (MIB) with a standard MIB browser—Perform SNMP SETs and GETs and to use SNMP traps • APC Device IP Configuration Wizard—Configure the basic settings of one or more Modular PDUs over the network • APC Security Wizard—Create the components needed for high security for the Modular PDU when you are using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and related protocols and encryption routines Internal Management Features Overview Use the Web interface or the control console interface to manage the Modular PDU. Access priority for logging on Only one user at a time can log on to the Modular PDU. The priority for access, beginning with the highest priority, is as follows: • Local access to the control console from a computer with a direct serial connection to the PDU • Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH) access to the control console from a remote computer • Web access, either directly or through StruxureWare Central Types of user accounts The Modular PDU has three levels of access (Administrator, Device User, and Read-Only User), which are protected by user name and password requirements. During authentication, the user's credentials are compared against the Local User Database and/or are validated against a RADIUS server (depending on configuration). If valid, access with appropriate permissions is granted to the web interface. To set User Name and Password values for the three account types, see “Setting user access” on page 19. • An Administrator can use all the menus in the Web interface. The default user name and password are both apc. • The default user name for the Device User is device, and the default password is apc. A Device User can access the menus on the Home, Power Distribution, Contacts/Relays, Alarms, and Logs tabs and the event and data logs in the Web interface. • A Read-Only User has access through the Web interface only. You must use the Web interface to configure values for the Read-Only User. The Read-Only User has access to the same tabs and menus as a Device User, but without any capability to change configurations, control devices, delete data, or use file transfer options. Links to configuration options are visible but disabled, and the event and data logs display no button to clear the log. The default user name is readonly, and the default password is apc. 2 User Guide 480V Modular PDU with Auto-transformer
