2. General Overview

Independently controllable outlets

The iBoot-PDU series is designed to provide power distribution and remote power control. Each iBoot-PDU allows four or eight outlets to be independently switched on and off for reboot, energy management and security. The iBoot-PDU has many features to make the management of power distribution simple and cost effective.

Dual power inputs for redundant power feeds (some models)

Models with dual inputs (-2N15, -2N20, -2C10, -2C20) have two A/C Lines (mains). Each line powers four outlets Line A supports outlets 1-4 and Line B feeds 5-8. Dual power inlet models can be used to support higher current devices, as each inlet can carry its rated load, doubling the amperage of a single inlet device. Dual Inlet models can also be used to source power from two redundant sources, with each source feeding a power supply of a single device. Either Line can support the electronics of the iBoot-PDU, adding additional reliability in case of a single line failure.

Support for dual redundant powered devices

In addition to two power sources, pairs of outlets can be grouped together to allow simultaneous control. This allows a single command to power down devices with dual redundant power supplies.

Web Browser Control

Simple web browser interface is easy to use and provides complete status information and control of the outlets, and setup.

Free Cloud Service Included

All your PDUs and other iBoot power systems can be monitored and controlled from a single web interface. Find, select and control one or hundreds of locations with a single sign on.

Built-in 1G Ethernet Switch

Put iBoot-PDU on existing router ports and eliminate the need for additional cabling and installation costs.

Telnet/Serial CLI control

Telnet and serial access use the same Command Line Interface (CLI) structure and syntax to completely control and configure the iBootPDU.

Additional Control APIs

The PDU supports Dataprobe’s proprietary DxP protocol, making it

easy to integrate with other power and GPIO devices. A RESTful API also allows easy integration into existing management systems.

Multiple users with assigned rights and simultaneous control

Multiple users can be assigned administrator or user only rights, plus access to specific outlets and groups. Users only see the outlets and groups they are assigned to.

Grouping of outlets for simultaneous management

Multiple outlets, across multiple iBoot-PDUs can be linked together in named groups and managed together. This allows for example, power cycling all devices of a certain type together.

Multiple iBoot-PDU Cluster Configuration

Additional iBoot-PDUs can be managed from a single unit. One master iBoot-PDU provides the communication to the users and continuously receives status information from the rest of the iBootPDUs in the cluster. Groups can be created across multiple PDUs and controlled simultaneously.

Page 5

iBoot-PDU_v230829w iBoot-PDU User Manual Page 5

Environmental Monitoring and Automation

The iBoot-PDU can monitor voltage, current and temperature to provide automatic response to the physical environment. Program complex sequences of outlet actions and notifications to respond instantly to out of normal situations. Temperature monitoring requires add-on probes.

AutoPing for automatic reboot of crashed systems

Monitor and react to failed equipment and networks by testing responses to multiple IP addresses and auto-reboot failed systems.

Real-Time event control

Set automatic power actions based on your schedule. Restart systems every day to reduce memory bloat. Power up resources only when needed for energy management, lifecycle extension or security.

Landline Modem Option

The add-on landline modem supports data calls from terminal devices using the CLI, and direct dial from a tone telephone for simple on/off control when more sophisticated means are not available.

SNMP manageable

iBoot-PDU Supports SNMP up to V3. The iBoot-PDU MIB is downloadable from the website.

Syslog reporting

All activity can be reported to a syslog compatible server.

7. Automation

7.1. General Description

The iBoot-PDU can be programmed to monitor a variety of conditions and take automatic action whenever necessary. There are two aspects to the automation that need to be programmed to achieve the desired effect: Triggers and Sequences. Triggers define what is being monitored and the conditions that prompt action. Sequences control what actions take place when triggers are activated.

When programming triggers, it is suggested to first define the sequences, then the triggers. See Section

5.7 on building sequences.

7.2. Analog Triggers

Analog triggers monitor voltage, current and temperature. Temperature triggers require use of item # 1940213 TEMPer2, sold separately

To program a trigger:

1. Select Automation > Analog from the main menu.

2. Click on Add Analogs at the top of the page.

Enable Checkbox determines if the trigger is available to be active Show on Dashboard determines if the trigger card will be displayed on the Dashboard

7.3. AutoPing Triggers

The AutoPing feature allows iBoot-PDU to automatically detect failed equipment and perform a timed reboot or other power control function (like turning on an indicator or siren). You set one or two IP addresses to be periodically pinged. When iBoot-PDU no longer detects a response from these addresses, the programmed power control function is actuated. The two addresses can be AND or OR linked so that both (AND) or either (OR) need to fail in order to take the selected action.

Examples:

Use Auto-Ping as service monitor: iBoot-PDU is installed with the device to be rebooted, but pings a remote host to test the communication channel. Ideal for: DSL & Cable Modem Verification.

Use AutoPing as server monitor: iBoot-PDU is installed with the device it monitors and automatically reboots if there is no response. Ideal for: datacenters and digital signage

iBoot-PDU monitors network device and powers up alarm or redundant system when there is no response Ideal for: Hot Standby Servers, Environmental Control, Alert for any Network Failure.

Using a telnet client (for example putty.exe ) connect to the IP Address of the iBoot-PDU. Once connected the iBoot-PDU will request the user name and password. Once these credentials are properly entered, the iBootPDU will indicate ready with the iBoot-PDU> prompt:

iBoot-PDU Connected to Telnet Session 3

User> admin Password> *****

iBoot-PDU>

9.2. CLI Commands Syntax

The CLI uses a standard SET and GET command structure to save and retrieve setup parameters. The CLI syntax is as follows:

• Angle brackets designate required parameters: <required>

• Square brackets designate optional parameters: [optional]

• Vertical bars for choice of items: <option1 | option2 | option3>

• Hyphen indicates a range of numbers <0-99>

• Special Characters not allowed for user name & | ; $ > < ` \ !

• Special Characters not allowed for user snmppassword & | ; $ > < ` \ !

• Special Characters not allowed for user email address & | ; $ > < ` \ !

• Special Characters not allowed for password ` or ‘

• Special Characters allowed for outlet name: ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ = + [ { ] } \ | ; : , < . > / ?

o The space character can be used but the entire name must be in double quotes

“my name”

o Special characters in outlet names may cause display issues on webpage.

• Commands that are highlighted in gray indicate that they are accessible to all users. All other commands require administrator credentials

• All names are case sensitive

10. RESTful API

This section details the specifications and usage of the RESTful API for the iBoot-PDU family of power distribution units. It allows users to get outlet status and control outlets using HTTP and HTTPS.

The system relies on an authentication token to provide additional security.

10.1. Authorization Token

An authorization token is required prior to any further communication. The token is valid until there is 5 minutes of inactivity between the client and the iBoot-PDU. Each time the RESTful API is accessed using the token this 5 minute timeout will reset.

Acquire the token from the iBoot-PDU at

https://<ipaddress>/services/auth/ or http://<ipaddress>/services/auth/ where <ipaddress> is the IP Address of the iBoot-PDU

The authorization request requires a username and password that is valid for the iBoot-PDU being accessed. The authorization request uses the following JSON structure:

{

"username":"<username>", //PDU Username "password":"<password>" //PDU Password

}

Upon receiving an authorization request, the iBoot-PDU will issue a response with the following JSON structure:

{ "success":"<true|false>", //Result code true or false "message":"<message>", //Error Message from the server. Specific for error "token":"####-####-####-####" //64 bit randomly generated token }

success returns true or false based on the successful receipt of the authorization request message is an error message to assist in debugging when success is false token is the 64-bit code to allow further communication with the iBoot-PDU

Example – using CURL Authorization Request:

curl --data '{"username":"Jeff", "password":"jeffpass"}' -X POST http://10.10.10.30/services/auth/

Authorization Response:

{"success":"true","message":"","token":"7594-235E-E439-69D3"}

Page 76

iBoot-PDU_v230829w iBoot-PDU User Manual Page 76

10.2. Retrieve Status

Get the status of one or more outlets, or any predefined group of outlets at https://<ipaddress>/services/retrieve/ or

http://<ipaddress>/services/retrieve/ where <ipaddress> is the IP Address of the iBoot-PDU

The JSON structure for Retrieve is

{ "token":"####-####-####-####", //token received from authorization request "outlets":[<array>], //array of outlets to retrieve "groups":[<array>] //array of groups to retrieve }

token is a 64-bit value retrieved from https://<ipaddress>/services/auth/. outlets is a JSON array of the outlets to be retrieved. outlets accepts outlet numbers, outlet names, or a combination of both. groups is a JSON array of the groups to be retrieved. groups accepts one or more groups to retrieve.

The API will return the following JSON structure upon receipt of a retrieve request.

{ "success":"[true|false]", //Result code "message":"[errormessage]" //Message from the server, if status false "outlets":{ // message specific for the error "<outletid1>":"[on|off]", //the status of the first requested outlet "<outletid2":"[on|off]", //the status of the second requested outlet "<outletidn>":"[on|off]" //the status of the last requested outlet } "groups":{ "<groupid1>":"[on|off|mixed]", //the status of the first requested group "<groupid2>":"[on|off|mixed]", //the status of the second requested group "<groupidn>":"[on|off|mixed]" //the status of the last requested group } }

success is true if the command was executed correctly. success is false if the command could not be executed. message is a string containing an error message when success is false. outlets is a substructure containing JSON variable value pairs where the variable is the outlet name and

the value is the outlet status. groups is a substructure containing JSON variable value pairs where the variable is the group name and the value is the group status.

Example – using CURL Retrieve:

curl--data'{"token":"7594-235E-E43969D3","outlets":["1","2","5"],"groups":["Group1","Group2","group3"]}'-X POST http://10.10.10.30/services/retrieve/

Page 77

iBoot-PDU_v230829w iBoot-PDU User Manual Page 77

Retrieve Response:

{"success":"true","message":"","outlets":{"1":"Off","2":"Off","5":"On"},"groups":{"Group1":"Mixed", "Group2":"Mixed","group3":"Mixed"}}

10.3. Control

Control any outlet, group, or sequence at https://<ipaddress>/services/control/ or

http://<ipaddress>/services/control/ where <ipaddress> is the IP Address of the iBoot-PDU to be controlled

The JSON Structure for Control is

{

"token":"####-####-####-####", //token received from auth "control":"[outlet|group|sequence]", //object to be controlled "command":"[on|off|cycle|run|stop]", //command to be executed "outlets":[<array>], //array of outlets to control "sequence":"<sequencename>", //name of the sequence "group","<groupname>" //name of the group to be controlled }

token is a 64-bit value retrieved from https://pdu ip address/services/auth. control the object to be controlled. control will accept outlet, group or sequence. command will accept on, off, or cycle when control is outlet or group. command will accept run or stop when control is sequence. outlets will only be required when command is outlet. outlets is ignored when command is group or sequence. outlets is a JSON array of the outlets to be controlled. outlets will accept outlet numbers, outlet names, or a combination of both. sequence is only be required when command is sequence. sequence accepts sequence names only. group only requires when command is group. group only accepts group names only.

Example 1 – using CURL Control:

curl --data '{"token":"CFB0-4354-3008386C","control":"sequence","command":"run","sequence":"Jeff1"}' -X POST http://10.10.10.30/services/control/

12. USB Interfaces

The USB ports are used to integrate peripheral devices to the iBoot-PDU. There are four USB A ports that allow attachment of peripherals and one USB B mini port that allows attachment of a computer or battery.

12.1. Temperature Monitor

The temperature monitor Item 1940213 provides two independent probes. One is internal to the USB module and the other is on a 3’ cable that attaches to the module. The use of the cable probe is optional.

Temperature Probe Installation

If the cable probe is to be used, connect it to the module before inserting the module in the USB port of the PDU.

Connect the module to any of the USB ports on the PDU. The PDU will recognize the module and display the temperature on the dashboard in the lower right hand corner of the device card.

If the external probe is not installed, the temperature for T2 will read 200 Degrees C.

Temperature Probe Specifications

Range of measuring: -40~+125 C; -40~+257F; Resolution rate: 0.06C Precision: + 2C;

12.2. Landline Modem

The iBoot-PDU supports model MODEM-PDU-1 for data and voice control.

Installation

Install the modem in any USB port on the iBoot-PDU. Connect a landline to the RJ11 jack marked LINE on the modem. The iBoot-PDU will recognize the modem and it will be ready to use immediately.

Data Calls

Using any terminal emulation software, place a call to the landline number. The modem supports V.90 56K data rates.

Use the CLI commands in Section 9 for complete instruction set.

Voice Calls

The iBoot-PDU allows voice calls to control the local outlets with dialing tones. It uses a voice response to guide the user and provide status information.

Use of tone control requires a unique PIN number set for each user. This PIN is set using the command line interface and must be 4 to 10 digits long. Program a PIN code of 0 to disable a users ability to use DTMF control.

Page 82

iBoot-PDU_v230829w iBoot-PDU User Manual Page 82

DTMF Call Sequence:

1. Dial the phone number connected to the iBoot-PDU. Upon connection a prompt tone will be heard.

2. Enter the PIN followed by the # key. Upon successful entry, a ready tone will be heard. If no PIN or incorrect PIN is received, an error tone and new prompt tone will be issued. After three unsuccessful attempts, the iBoot-PDU will hang up.

3. At the ready tone, enter an outlet number 1-8. The current status of that outlet will be stated in English: i.e. “one on” or “six off”.

4. The # key is used to change the state of the outlet. The * key is used to reboot (or power cycle) the outlet for the time configured with the CLI command cycle time. The new status of the outlet is stated. If the * key is used, the iBoot-PDU will also state ‘begin’ to indicate the reboot or cycle has begun.

5. A new prompt tone will indicate that new commands can be entered. While a reboot is in progress, additional outlets can be addressed and commanded.

6. The caller can hang up at any time to disconnect the call. Any reboots in progress will finish their cycle time as programmed.

NOTE: Not issuing a command for 5 seconds will cause the iBoot-PDU to hang up.

Notes:

1. The only outlets that a caller has access to are determined by the CLI command set user outlet.

2. While prompts and voice responses are being played, the iBoot-PDU will not process DTMF tones. Wait for the status and prompts to complete before issuing new commands

3. Address an outlet with a number command before entering a control command (# or *) if unsure which outlet is being addressed, send the outlet number again.

4. Factory Default user admin has default PIN12345. Change to desired PIN if maintaining this account. Resetting to factory defaults will restore this user and PIN.

12.3. Serial Port

The USB B port on the iBoot-PDU can be used for serial communication. The Command Line Interface through the serial connection allows programming of all parameters of the unit, and control of all functions.

To use the USB port, connect to a Windows PC, and the installation should be automatic. If you driver does not install, or you need drivers for other operating systems, please contact Dataprobe Technical Support.

The default settings for the serial connection is 115,200 -8 data - No parity - 1 Stop- (8-N-1) The USB port can now be used with a standard Terminal Client (like HyperTerminal) to communicate

directly with the iBoot-PDU. Dataprobe also provides a simple terminal program (EZ Term) at

http://dataprobe.com/support-iboot-pdu/

Page 83

iBoot-PDU_v230829w iBoot-PDU User Manual Page 83

12.4. Battery Backup

An external USB battery can be used to maintain uptime for the manageability of the iBoot-PDU during power outages. Using a battery, in conjunction with a voltage alarm and email sequence provides a ‘CallFor-Help’ function that alerts personnel when there is a power failure at the facility. To properly size the battery, the following guidance is provided

Power draw on USB-B port when the iBoot-PDU is not on battery: 7mA max. Estimate 9.5 days on a 1600mAh battery that is not being recharged.

Power draw on USB-B port when the iBoot-PDU is on battery: 250mA max. Estimate 6.4 hours on 1600mAh battery.

Please Note. When the iBoot-PDU goes onto battery power, the USB-A ports will be disabled to prevent excessive draining of the battery. Resumption of A/C power requires a manual restart of the USB ports to resume their operation. Select the Reboot function on the iBoot-PDU to restart the USB-A ports if they are being used.

iBoot-PDU_v230829w iBoot-PDU User Manual Page 84

13. Troubleshooting

13.1. Hardware Reset

The hardware reset is located adjacent to the network jack on the rear panel. Use a non-conductive pin to actuate the reset if necessary.

Momentarily depress the reset button to perform a hardware reset. Note that outlets will reset to the status as determined by their Last State

Setting.

13.2. Reset admin password

The password for user admin can only be set within the first two minutes of powering up the iBoot-PDU. The DMU utility has the ability to reset the admin password back to factory default:

Version 1.38 and below.............. Password: admin

Version 1.39 and above ............. Password: admin<last 3 Mac segments>

( If Mac address is 01:02:03:04:ab:06 then default Password is admin04ab06 ) ALL Passwords are case sensitive Please see section 3.5.1 for details.

13.3. Reset Factory Defaults

Holding the hardware reset for more than 5 seconds will reset the device to its factory defaults. While resetting all the power LEDs will flash for 5 seconds. Note that this will also reset the IP Address settings to DHCP or 192.168.1.254 if no DHCP server is found.
