Chapter 4: Configuring the MasterSwitch

This chapter describes how to use SNMP, embedded Web control or the console program to configure the
MasterSwitch and its eight, individually-manageable power outlets.

Note: Most configuration functions can be performed using Web, SNMP or console control.

However, some functions are unique to a given control method(s). The descriptions
in this chapter identify which methods you can use (Web,
for each described configuration function.

Functions

The MasterSwitch allows you to use SNMP, embedded Web or the terminal console program to configure
operational parameters or other values important to using the MasterSwitch:

SNMP or console control)

n You can use Web, SNMP or console configuration commands to:

r Define a master power on delay value that affects all outlets equally.
r Define a reboot duration value that affects all outlets equally.
r Define a MasterSwitch device name.
r Define outlet device names.
r Define individual outlet power on values.
r Define SNMP access control for up to four network management stations (NMSs).
r Define up to four SNMP trap receivers.

Note: See Chapter 7: Using SNMP for more information on SNMP access control and

trap receivers.

r Reinitialize the MasterSwitch without affecting its outlet power .

n You can use embedded Web control, or the console program (but not SNMP), to enable or disable

BOOTP, or to define the MasterSwitch IP address, the default gateway IP address or the subnet mask

network configuration values needed by the MasterSwitch to communicate over the network.

Note: The console has an option (HTTP Net Config) in the Network submenu that

enables or disables the use of Web control to change the network configuration values.

MasterSwitch 100V – User Guide

Master Power On Delay

You can use Web, SNMP or console configuration commands to define how long a delay , if any , will occur
between power being applied to the MasterSwitch and master power being provided to the MasterSwitch
outlets. This allows you to sequence the master power when you want to make sure some other device has
enough time to power-up before any of the MasterSwitch load devices begin to power-up. For example:

n The MasterSwitch provides power to various servers and workstations.
n These MasterSwitch load devices connect to the network through hub components that get their

power from the same UPS as the MasterSwitch, but not from the MasterSwitch, itself.

n By delaying the MasterSwitch master power, you can ensure that the hub components are up and

running on the network before the components that connect to the MasterSwitch. The allowable delay
values are:

r Never apply power automatically (requires using a control command to turn on power)
r Apply power immediately (no delay)
r Apply power in 15 seconds
r Apply power in 30 seconds
r Apply power in 45 seconds
r Apply power in 60 seconds (1 minute)
r Apply power in 120 seconds (2 minutes)
r Apply power in 300 seconds (5 minutes)

13

Outlet Power On Delay

You can use Web, SNMP or console configuration commands to define how long a delay , if any , will occur
between the MasterSwitch supplying master power to an outlet (as defined by the Master Power On Delay
described above) and that outlet supplying power to the connected device. This allows you to sequence the
power from each outlet when you want to make sure the devices connected to the MasterSwitch power up in a
specific order . For example:

n The MasterSwitch provides power to various servers and workstations.
n These MasterSwitch load devices include a printer, a print server and several workstations that use the

server and printer.

n By delaying the power output of each outlet, you can ensure that the server and printer are both up and

running before the workstations that will use them. The allowable delay values are:

r Never power on automatically (requires using a control command to turn on the outlet’s power)
r Power on immediately with master (no delay)
r Power on 15 seconds after master
r Power on 30 seconds after master
r Power on 45 seconds after master
r Power on 60 seconds (1 minute) after master
r Power on 120 seconds (2 minutes) after master
r Power on 300 seconds (5 minutes) after master

14 14

MasterSwitch 100V – User Guide

Reboot Duration

You can use Web, SNMP or console configuration commands to define how long a delay will occur between
the power being turned off at the start of a reboot and the power being turned back on to complete the reboot.
This delay , which applies to the reboot activity at all outlets, allows you to ensure that the MasterSwitch is
configured for a delay that meets the need of any device that is connected to any of the MasterSwitch outlets.

The allowable reboot on/off delay values are:

r W ait 5 seconds between off/on
r W ait 10 seconds between off/on
r W ait 15 seconds between off/on
r W ait 20 seconds between off/on
r W ait 30 seconds between off/on
r W ait 45 seconds between off/on
r W ait 60 seconds (1 minute) between of f/on

MasterSwitch Device Name

You can use Web, SNMP or console configuration commands to define a name for the MasterSwitch, as a
whole. This name can be up to 20 characters in length.

Outlet Device Name

You can use Web, SNMP or console configuration commands to define a name for each of eight MasterSwitch
outlets. These names can each be up to 20 characters in length.

URL Links

Y ou can use the embedded W eb control, only , to define URL links:
For example:

n You can define links to other world wide Web pages.
n You can define the Device URL: value in each of the Web control’s Outlet Configuration pages to

connect you to the worldwide Web home page for the manufacturer of the device that connects to a
specific outlet whenever you click on the link symbol for that outlet’ s device.

Note: The embedded Web contr ol feature comes with on-line help. See that on-line help

for information on how to use the MasterSwitch embedded Web control.

Chapter 5: Controlling the MasterSwitch

This chapter describes how you can use Web, SNMP or console commands (telnet or serial sessions) to control
output power from the MasterSwitch, as a unit, or from each outlet, individually .

Overview

Using configuration options (Chapter 4) you can control power output from the MasterSwitch by defining
such values as when master power is supplied to the outlets, and then sequence the power output from each
outlet. The MasterSwitch control options allow you to further control the power output, as follows:

n You can use a master power control to turn all outlets on, turn all outlets off or reboot all outlets.
n You can use outlet controls to turn on, off or reboot an individual outlet.

Master Power Control

You can use Web, SNMP or console commands to control master power to the MasterSwitch outlets:

n You can turn all outlets off immediately.
n You can turn all outlets on immediately.
n You can turn all outlets on in sequence (as defined by an outlet’s power on delay value).
n You can reboot all outlets immediately.
n You can reboot all outlets in sequence (as defined by an outlet’s power on delay value).

Outlet Power Control

You can use Web, SNMP or console commands to control the power output from each MasterSwitch outlet:

n You can turn an outlet off.
n You can turn an outlet on.
n You can reboot the equipment (turn power off and then back on), with the duration of the reboot cycle

defined by the reboot duration value you configured for the MasterSwitch outlets.

16 16

MasterSwitch 100V – User Guide

Chapter 6: Using the Console Program

This chapter describes how to use the console program to configure and control output power from the
MasterSwitch as a unit, or from each outlet individually . The console program is accessed via the serial port
or via telnet.

Functions

The console program allows you to perform all MasterSwitch configuration and control functions except
definition of URL links for the MasterSwitch and its outlets. You can use the console program to define and
control the following values needed for MasterSwitch operation:

n Define the initial network configuration values needed by the MasterSwitch .

Note: When a BOOTP server (Chapter 2) is not being used, the console program must be used

via the serial port to initially define these values. Once these values are defined and
BOOTP is disabled, you can use the console program (including telnet sessions) or the
embedded web control to modify the values.

n Define NMSs that can use SNMP to access the MasterSwitch , the kind of access they will have, and

community names they must use for that access.

n Define NMSs that can receive SNMP traps.
n Control master power by turning on, turning off or rebooting all MasterSwitch outlets.
n Define a master power on delay time value for providing master power to the outlets.
n Define an outlet power on value for each outlet so that you can control the sequence of power on to

the MasterSwitch outlets.

n Turn off, on or reboot any outlet, individually.
n Define a name for the MasterSwitch .
n Define a device name for each outlet.
n Define the amount of time (reboot duration) that power remains off during reboot cycles.

You can use SNMP to:

n Define NMSs that can receive SNMP traps (using apcmgmt OIDs).
n Restart the MasterSwitch SNMP agent (using apcmgmt OIDs).
n Control master power by turning on, turning off or rebooting all MasterSwitch outlets (using

sPDUMasterControl OIDs).

n Define a master power on delay time value for providing master power to the outlets (using an

sPDUMasterConfig OID).

n Define a power on value for each outlet so that you can sequence the power output from the

MasterSwitch outlets (using

Management Control (mcontrol) OIDs

The mcontrol OIDs allow you to affect the operation of the SNMP agent, as follows:

n If the MasterSwitch SNMP agent appears to be hung up, you can use restartCurrentAgent to restart

the MasterSwitch without affecting its outlet power.

n You can use contin ueCurrentAgent to continue using the current SNMP agent without restarting it.

loadAndExecuteNewAgent mcontr ol OID option is not used.

Management Configuration (mconfig) OIDs

The mconfig OIDs allow you to define up to four NMSs as trap receivers, as follows:

Note: For information on MasterSwitch traps, see the MasterSwitch-MIB Traps section

provided at the end of this chapter.
