The Settings” Æ IPDU Æ General tab displays a warning and three options with checkboxes, as shown in the following screen exampleThe settings on the page shown in Settings Æ IPDU Screen apply to all AlterPath PM IPDUs that are either directly-connected or daisy-chained to the AUX port:
• “Checking “Enable Over Current Protection” allows an administrative user to specify a maximum number of Amps. When the maximum number of Amps is exceeded (and, therefore, an “overcurrent” state exists), the OnBoard generates an alarm. The type of alarm depends on whether “Enable syslog” or “Enable buzzer” or both are checked.
• Checking “Enable syslog” causes syslog messages to be sent to the console if the maximum current is exceeded.
• Checking “Enable buzzer” causes a buzzer to sound on the AlterPath PM if the maximum current is exceeded.Checking the “Enable Over Current Protection” checkbox brings up the table like the one in the following screen example. The example shows entries for a Master and a Slave Unit, with Alarm Threshold values already configured by an administrative user.Clicking the Edit button in the entry for an IPDU brings up the screen shown in the following screen example.The appropriate value to enter in the “Alarm Threshold” field varies from one AlterPath PM to the other. The value can be entered either as a number or as a number with a decimal point, for example, 10 amps or 14.5 amps.To Enable Overcurrent Protection for an AlterPath PM IPDU
