IPDU Multi-Outlet Ctrl Screen
As shown in IPDU Multi-Outlet Ctrl Screen, a separate entry appears for multi-outlet device, and each device is assigned a name according to the number of the serial port to which the device is connected. In this example, MultiOutlet-0 is the name assigned to the device connected to serial port 1 and MultiOutlet-4 is assigned to the device connected to serial port 5.
The light bulb, the lock icon, and the Cycle button on the line with the device name control the group of outlets for the device. The light bulb and lock icons next to the individual outlets display the status of each outlet, and they can be used to control the individual outlets.
The following table describes the icons in the first line of each group.
IPDU Multi-Outlet Ctrl. Form Icons
A grey and open lock indicates that the outlets are unlocked and can be powered on or off.
A full-color and closed lock indicates that the outlet is locked and cannot be turned on or off.
Note: The “PU (Power Up) interval” parameter configured for each outlet affects the timing of the power up sequence. An outlet in a group turns on only after the power up interval specified for the previous outlet has elapsed. This PU interval can be configured through the “IPDU Power Mgmt.” screen. See To View Status, Lock, Unlock, Rename, or Cycle Power Outlets.
