Configuration
On the “Configuration” form under Applications > IPDU Power Mgmt., you can specify the following:
A threshold current between 1 and xx amperes. (The maximum current depends on the AlterPath PM model. Refer to View IPDUs Info section to determine your PM model.
Over-current protection. If enabled, the outlets on the IPDU cannot be turned on, when the current on the IPDU exceeds the selected threshold.
The Configuration form shows an entry for each serial port that has an AlterPath PM IPDU connected to, and is configured for power management. The first connected IPDU is called the master, the second and subsequently-connected IPDUs are called slaves. On the form “Master Unit” refers to the first or only connected IPDU. When IPDUs are daisy-chained, the form displays additional lines to allow you to specify separate alarm thresholds for slave IPDU(s).
The following figure shows the Configuration form when two AlterPath PMs are connected to Serial port 1 configured for power management.

Note: The number of amps shown in the Master Unit (and Slave units if available) pull-down menu varies according to the model of the connected PM. Figure 7-12 shows number 15 for two 15 amp PMs as a Master and a Slave.
To Specify Names, Alarms, Syslogging, and Over Current Protection for IPDUs
Perform this procedure if you want to specify an alias or configure a threshold current to trigger alarms, syslogging, or over-current protection for an IPDU.
1.

The Configuration form displays entries for all ports configured for power management. Perform the following steps for each IPDU.
a.
b.
For each AlterPath PM, click the appropriate check boxes to enable or disable Over Current Protection, the generation of Syslog files, and the sounding of a Buzzer.
All of the selected actions occur if a defined threshold is exceeded on the IPDU.
c.
If enabling over-current protection, a buzzer, or alarm notification, select an Alarm Threshold from the pull-down menu.
