einem festen Stromkreis vorgesehen. |
Dedicated branch circuit must have circuit breaker or fuse protection; 3- phase/multi-pole dedicated branch circuits must have circuit breaker or fuse protection for each phase/pole located together. PDUs have been designed without a master circuit breaker or fuse to avoid becoming a single point of failure. It is the customer’s responsibility to provide adequate protection for the dedicated branch power circuit. Protection should not exceed the Total Input Rating of the PDU and must meet all applicable local, state and federal codes and regulations.
Le circuit de dérivation spécialisé doit être équipé de disjoncteurs ou de fusibles ;
Lorsqu'ils sont triphasés ou multipolaires, ils doivent être équipés de disjoncteurs ou de fusibles sur chaque phase ou pôle. Les PDU ont été conçus sans disjoncteur ou fusible principal afin de ne pas constituer le seul point de rupture. Le client est seul responsable de la protection des circuits électriques de dérivation spécialisés. Cette protection ne doit pas excéder la consommation totale en entrée du PDU et doit être conforme aux normes et à la réglementation locales, d'état et fédérales.
Der als Standleitung verwendete Zweigstromkreis muss mit einem Überlastschalter bzw. einer Sicherung ausgestattet sein; bei StandleitungsZweigstromkreisen mit 3 Phasen/mehreren Polen müssen zusammengehörige Phasen/Pole individuell durch einen Überlastschalter bzw. eine Sicherung geschützt sein. In PDUs ist kein Haupt-Überlastschalter bzw. keine Hauptsicherung installiert. Dadurch wird ausgeschlossen, dass die PDU als alleinige Schwachstelle in Frage kommt.

301-0399-3 Rev A. - Page 13
3. Operations
Setting the HTTP authentication method:
The AmpMeter PDU HTTP server supports two authentication methods for security and validation of the username-password – Basic and MD5 digest.
The Basic method utilizes Base64 encoding to encode and deliver the username-password over the network to the HTTP server for decoding and authentication. This basic method is supported by all web browsers and offers a minimum level of security.
NOTE: The Base64 algorithm is widely-known and susceptible to packet-sniffer attack for acquisition of the encoded username-password string.
The MD5 digest method provides stronger protection utilizing one-way encoded hash numbers, never placing the username-password on the network. Instead, the sending browser creates a challenge code based on the hash algorithm, provided username-password and unique items such as the device IP address and timestamp, which is compared against the HTTP server internal user database of valid challenge codes. The MD5 digest method offers a higher level of security than the Basic method but at present is not supported by all browsers.
NOTE: MD5 is known to be fully supported by Internet Explorer 5.0+, Navigator 7.0+ and Firefox 1.0+.
Select Basic or MD5 from the Authentication drop-down menu and press Apply.
Setting SSL access level
AmpMeter PDU SSL supports configuration of SSL connections as being either optional or required. The default access level is set to optional.
•Optional –Both non-secure (HTTP) and SSL encrypted connections (HTTPS) are allowed access.
•Required – ONLY SSL encrypted connections (HTTPS) are allowed access.
Select Optional or Required from the Secure Access drop-down menu and press Apply.
Serial Ports
The Serial Ports configuration page is used for maintenance of the serial ports.
NOTE: Pass through connections may only be initiated from the command line interface via a Telnet/SSH session.
