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.

SSL
Secure Socket Layers (SSL) version 3 enables secure HTML sessions between a AmpMeter PDU Remote
Power Manager and a remote user. SSL provides two chief features designed to make TCP/IP (Internet)
transmitted data more secure:
• Authentication – The connecting client is assured of the identity of the server.
• Encryption – All data transmitted between the client and the server is encrypted rendering any
intercepted data unintelligible to any third party.
SSL uses the public-and-private key encryption system by RSA, which also requires the use of digital
certificates. An SSL Certificate is an electronic file uniquely identifying individuals or websites and enables
encrypted communication; SSL Certificates serve as a kind of digital passport or credential. The AmpMeter
PDU product’s SSL Certificate enables the client to verify the AmpMeter PDU’s authenticity and to
communicate with the AmpMeter PDU securely via an encrypted session, protecting confidential information
from interception and hacking.
SSL Command Summary
Command Description
Set SSL Enables/disables SSL support
Set SSL access Sets SSL access as optional or required

SSH
Secure Shell (SSH) version 2 enables secure network terminal sessions between a AmpMeter PDU Remote
Power Manager and a remote user over insecure network. SSH provides an encrypted terminal sessions with
strong authentication of both the server and client, using public-key cryptography and is typically used as a
replacement for unencrypted Telnet. In addition to enabling secure network terminal sessions to the AmpMeter
PDU for configuration and power management, the SSH session may be used for secure Pass through
connections to attached devices.
SSH requires the configuration and use of a client agent on the client PC. There are many freeware, shareware

SNMP Traps
The AmpMeter PDU supports three types of SNMP traps. Traps are enabled at the tower (T), infeed (I) or
outlet (O) level.
Trap Summary
Name Level(s) Description
Status T, I, O Operational status change
Change O Control status change
Load I Input load out of limit
All traps include the Location of the AmpMeter PDU as defined with the Set Location command. See Creating a
location description on page 12 for more information.
Status trap
A Status trap is generated when an error condition occurs on a tower, infeed or outlet. Status traps include the
reported Status, the Location of the AmpMeter PDU, and identifier and name of the affected tower, infeed or
outlet.
Any Trap Status generates a Status trap and triggers the trap timer. A new trap is generated at the end of
every timer period until the Status returns to a non-error status.
Tower Status traps
Status Error Description
Normal Tower is working correctly
NoComm x Communication to the tower has been lost
Infeed Status traps
Status Error Description
