Introduction

Product Description

Features

The Schneider Electric InRow RD 100-series and InRow RD 200-series cooling units are modular cooling units
that require only one-half the width of a standard enclosure and can be placed in a data center row. The InRow
RD cooling unit provides full management capabilities over a network using Telnet, Secure SHell (SSH),
HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS), File Transfer Protocol (FTP),
Secure CoPy (SCP), Modbus, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) versions 1 and 3. The
InRow RD cooling unit also provides the following features:

• Provides temperature monitoring and adapts its cooling output to rectify fluctuations in temperature

• Supports group control, which prevents demand-fighting and provides redundancy

• Enables you to shut down the cooling unit remotely over the network

• Provides output contact monitoring

• Provides the ability to export a user configuration (.ini) file from a configured card to one or more
unconfigured cards

• Supports using a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or server to provide the network (TCP/
IP) values for the InRow RD cooling unit

• Supports using the Remote Monitoring Service (RMS)

• Provides data and event logs

• Enables you to configure notification through event logging (by the InRow RD cooling unit and Syslog),
e-mail, and SNMP traps. You can configure notification for single events or groups of events, based on
the severity level or category of events

• Provides a selection of security protocols for authentication and encryption

Initial setup

You must define three TCP/IP settings for the InRow RD cooling unit before it can operate on the network:

• IP address of the InRow RD cooling unit

• Subnet mask

• IP address of the default gateway

N

OTE: Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway. Doing so disables the card. You

must then log on using a serial connection and reset TCP/IP settings to their defaults.

To configure the TCP/IP settings, see the InRow RD Installation Manual.

For detailed information on how to use a DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings at the InRow
RD cooling unit, see “TCP/IP and Communication Settings” on page 30.

Internal Management Features

Overview

Use the Web interface or the control console interface to manage the InRow RD cooling unit.

For more information about the internal user interfaces, see “Web Interface” on page 13 and
“Control Console” on page 7.

Access priority for logging on

Only one user at a time can log on to the InRow RD cooling unit. The priority for access, beginning with the
highest priority, is as follows:

• Local access to the control console from a computer with a direct serial connection to the InRow RD

cooling unit.

• Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH) access to the control console from a remote computer.

• Web access, either directly or through the StruxureWare Data Center Expert.

See “SNMP” on page 38 for information about how SNMP access to the InRow RD cooling unit is
controlled.

Types of user accounts

The InRow RD cooling unit has three levels of access (Administrator, Device User, and Read-Only User), which
are protected by user name and password requirements.

• An Administrator can use all the menus in the Web interface and control console. The default user name

and password are both apc.

• A Device User can access only the following:

– In the Web interface, the menus on the Group and Unit tabs and the event and data logs, accessible

under the Events and Data headings on the left navigation menu of the Logs tab.

– In the control console, the equivalent features and options.

The default user name is device, and the default password is apc.

• A Read-Only User has the following restricted access:

– Access through the Web interface only. You must use the Web interface to configure values for the

Read-Only User.

– Access to the same tabs and menus as a Device User, but without the capability to change

configurations, control devices, delete data, or use file transfer options. Links to configuration options
are visible but disabled, and the event and data logs display no button to clear the log.

The default user name is readonly, and the default password is apc.

To set User Name and Password values for the three account types, see “Setting user
access” on page 27.

Watchdog Features

Overview

To detect internal problems and recover from unanticipated inputs, the InRow RD cooling unit uses internal,
system-wide watchdog mechanisms. When it restarts to recover from an internal problem, a System:

Warmstart event is recorded in the event log.

Network interface watchdog mechanism

The InRow RD cooling unit implements internal watchdog mechanisms to protect itself from becoming
inaccessible over the network. For example, if the InRow RD cooling unit does not receive any network traffic
for 9.5 minutes (either direct traffic, such as SNMP, or broadcast traffic, such as an Address Resolution Protocol
[ARP] request), it assumes that there is a problem with its network interface and restarts.

Resetting the network timer

To ensure that the InRow RD cooling unit does not restart if the network is quiet for 9.5 minutes, the InRow RD
cooling unit attempts to contact the default gateway every 4.5 minutes. If the gateway is present, it responds to
the InRow RD cooling unit, and that response restarts the 9.5-minute timer. If your application does not require
or have a gateway, specify the IP address of a computer that is running on the network most of the time and is
on the same subnet. The network traffic of that computer will restart the 9.5-minute timer frequently enough to
prevent the InRow RD cooling unit from restarting.

Control Console

How To Log On

Overview

You can use either a local (serial) connection, or a remote (Telnet or SSH) connection with a computer on the
same network (LAN) as the InRow RD cooling unit to access the control console.

Use case-sensitive user name and password entries to log on (by default, apc and apc for an Administrator, or
device and apc for a Device User). A Read-Only User has no access to the control console.

If you cannot remember your user name or password, see “How to Recover from a Lost Password”
on page 4.

Remote access to the control console

You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH). Telnet is enabled by default.
Enabling SSH disables Telnet.

To enable or disable these access methods:

• In the Web interface, on the Administration tab, select Network on the top menu bar, and then the
access option under Console on the left navigation menu.

• In the control console, use the Telnet/SSH option of the Network menu.

Telnet for basic access Telnet provides the basic security of authentication by user name and password, but
not the high-security benefits of encryption.

To use Telnet to access the control console:

1. From a computer on the same network as the InRow RD cooling unit, at a command prompt, type

telnet and the System IP address for the InRow RD cooling unit (for example, telnet

139.225.6.133, when the InRow RD cooling unit uses the default Telnet port of 23), and press

If the InRow RD cooling unit uses a non-default port number (from 5000 to 32768), you must include
a colon or a space, depending on your Telnet client, between the IP address (or DNS name) and the
port number.

2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and apc for

a Device User).

SSH for high-security access: If you use the high security of SSL for the Web interface, use Secure SHell
(SSH) for access to the control console. SSH encrypts user names, passwords and transmitted data. The
interface, user accounts, and user access rights are the same whether you access the control console through
SSH or Telnet, but to use SSH, you must first configure SSH and have an SSH client program installed on your
computer.

ENTER.

port, to access the control console:

1. Select a serial port at the computer and disable any service that uses the port.

2. Connect the provided serial cable from the selected port on the computer to the configuration port at the
InRow RD cooling unit.

3. Run a terminal program (e.g., HyperTerminal), and configure the selected port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits,
no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.

4. Press

ENTER, and at the prompts, enter your user name and password.

Group and Unit Configuration

Viewing and Configuring Group Settings

Overview page

The Overview page, which displays by default the first time you select the Group tab, provides basic group
status information.

• Cool Setpoint—The target value for the air temperature. A Cool setpoint equal or above the Supply Air

Setpoint indicates that the group is operating normally. The Cool Setpoint should be set a few degrees
above the Supply Air Setpoint when operating in the InRow mode.

• Supply Air Setpoint—The target value for air leaving the cooling units in the group. The Supply Air

Setpoint should be set a few degrees below the Cool Setpoint to ensure that the group is operating
normally.

• Air Flow—The amount of air flow provided by the group.

• Maximum Rack Inlet Temperature—The highest rack inlet temperature recorded in the group.

• Minimum Rack Inlet Temperature—The lowest rack inlet temperature recorded in the group.

• Maximum Return Air Temperature—The highest return temperature recorded in the group.

• Minimum Return Air Temperature—The lowest return temperature recorded in the group.

• Cool Output—The actual cooling output of the group.

• Cool Demand—The amount of cooling the group requires from the units to maintain the Cool Setpoint.

Setpoints page

Use the Setpoints page to configure the temperature setpoints, capacity control mode, and fan speed mode for
the cooling group.

• Cool Setpoint—The target value for the air temperature. The Cool Setpoint value must be equal to or

greater than the Supply Air Setpoint value.

• Cool Deadband—The hysteresis value that prevents the unit from turning on and turning off too rapidly.

For a cooling unit to activate its compressor, the air temperature must exceed the Cool Setpoint plus the
Cool Deadband.

• Supply Air Setpoint—The target value for air leaving the cooling units in the group. The Supply Air

Setpoint value must be equal to or below the Cool Setpoint value.

• Capacity Control—The method the units will use to regulate the cooling demand. Discrete is used for

the Spot Cooling configuration mode only. Use Proportional for all other configuration modes.

– Proportional Mode—The unit modulates the fan speeds and Hot Gas Bypass Valve (HGBV) to

match the cooling output to the load demand, so the compressor turns off less frequently.

– Discrete Mode—The unit runs the fans at a set speed with the HGBV fully closed. The unit activates

the compressor when the Return Air Temperature reaches the Cool Setpoint plus the Cool
Deadband. The unit deactivates the compressor when the Return Air Temperature reaches the Cool
Setpoint.

17InRow RD 100-Series and InRow RD 200-Series User Guide

• Fan Speed Preference—The preferred fan speed for normal operation of the cooling unit. Selecting the
RACS or HACS mode sets the desired temperature difference between the rack inlet air temperature
and the rack outlet air temperature.

• Fan Speed Control (Spot Proportional, In-Row, RACS, CACS, or HACS cooling modes)—The method
the units will use to control fan speed, Automatic or Manual.

– Automatic—The unit controls the evaporator fan speed based on cooling demand.

– Manual—The evaporator fan speed is fixed at a constant speed. Use the Fan Speed Preference

setting to define the default speed.

• Active Flow Control Bias—This setting is used to control the difference between the cooling airflow and
the airflow of the load as measured by the Active Flow Controller(s). A setting of Zero will control the
fans to match the airflow of the load. A setting of Positive will provide more cooling airflow than required
by the load. A setting of Negative will provide less cooling airflow than required by the load. Only
qualified service personnel can make changes to these settings.

Configuration page

Use the settings on the Configuration page to define how the units will divide the cooling load:

• Number of Units in Group—Specify the number of units in the group. Valid values are 1–12.

and define the group settings.

• Number of Backup Units—Specify the number of backup units in the group. Valid values
are 0–11.

• Run-Time Balancing Enable—Enable this option (the default setting) to balance the unit run time
across the units in the group and to ensure that all units have consistent operating time. Disable this
option if the unit is using the Spot Cooling mode.

• Load Assist Enable—Define whether the backup units will assist the primary units when the cooling
demand exceeds the cooling output capacity of the primary units.

• Configuration Type—The air flow control strategy the Group uses. You can change this setting only
when all of the units in the group are in Standby mode.

– Spot—The unit regulates the Return Air Temperature. The Rack Inlet Air Temperature sensor is

ignored for control purposes. Use this option for standalone units only.

– Rack Air Containment System (RACS)—Air flow in the enclosure is controlled by a ducting system

fitted to the enclosure.

– Hot Aisle Containment System (HACS)—Air flow in the room is controlled by enclosing the hot air

aisle.

– In-Row—Air flow is horizontal to allow in-row operation of cooling solutions. (Backup and Load Assist

functions are disabled in InRow mode.)

– Cold Aisle Containment System (CACS)—Air flow in the room is controlled by enclosing the cold

air aisle. The loads share an enclosed common cold aisle.

• Altitude—Set the altitude (in feet or meters) of the unit above sea level. This number is used to estimate
the density of air and is a factor in pressure measurement.

• Active Flow Control Lamp Test—When enabled, the Active Flow Controller(s) LEDs will cycle through
a red, green, and blue illumination pattern. (Not on unit.)

• Number of Active Flow Controllers—Sets number of AFC units in the group (0 to 5).

Only a Schneider Electric Field Service Engineer may change these values:

• Cool Gain “P”—Set the proportional multiplier to correct for differences between the selected control
sensor's actual temperature and the setpoint.

• Cool Reset Rate “I”—Set the integral multiplier to correct for the proportional offset.

• Cool Derivative “D”—Set the derivative multiplier to counteract overshoot and droop during changes in
the room load.

With reverse lookup enabled, when a network-related event occurs, both the IP address and the domain name
for the networked device associated with the event are logged in the event log. If no domain name entry exists
for the device, only its IP address is logged with the event. Since domain names generally change less
frequently than IP addresses, enabling reverse lookup can improve the ability to identify addresses of
networked devices that are causing events.

How to use FTP or SCP to retrieve log files

An Administrator or Device User can use FTP or SCP to retrieve a tab-delineated event log file (event.txt) or
data log file (data.txt) and import it into a spreadsheet.

• The file reports all events or data recorded since the log was last deleted or (for the data log) truncated

because it reached maximum size.

• The file includes information that the event log or data log does not display.

– The version of the file format (first field)

– The date and time the file was retrieved

–The Name, Contact, and Location values and IP address of the InRow RD cooling unit

– The unique Event Code for each recorded event (event.txt file only)

NOTE: The InRow RD cooling unit uses a four-digit year for log entries. You may need to select a

four-digit date format in your spreadsheet application to display all four digits.

If you are using the encryption-based security protocols for your system, use Secure CoPy (SCP) to retrieve
the log file.

If you are using unencrypted authentication methods for the security of your system, use FTP to retrieve the log
file.

See the Security Handbook, available on the Schneider Electric Web site (www.schneider-
electric.com), for information on available protocols and methods for setting up the type of security
you need.

To use SCP to retrieve the files: To use SCP to retrieve the event.txt file, use the following command:

Configuring the RADIUS Server

Summary of the configuration procedure

You must configure your RADIUS server to work with the InRow RD cooling unit.

For examples of the RADIUS users file with Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs) and an example of an
entry in the dictionary file on the RADIUS server, see the Schneider Electric Security Handbook.

1. Add the IP address of the InRow RD cooling unit to the RADIUS server client list (file).

2. Users must be configured with Service-Type attributes unless Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs) are

defined. If no Service-Type attributes are configured, users will have read-only access (on the Web
interface only).

See your RADIUS server documentation for information about the RADIUS users file, and
see the Schneider Electric Security Handbook for an example.

3. Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs) can be used instead of the Service-Type attributes provided by the

RADIUS server. VSAs requires a dictionary entry and a RADIUS users file. In the dictionary file, define
the names for the ATTRIBUTE and VALUE keywords, but not for the numeric values. If you change
numeric values, RADIUS authentication and authorization will fail. VSAs take precedence over standard
RADIUS attributes.

Configuring a RADIUS server on UNIX® with shadow passwords

If UNIX shadow password files are used (/etc/passwd) with the RADIUS dictionary files, the following two
methods can be used to authenticate users:

• If all UNIX users have administrative privileges, add the following to the RADIUS “user” file. To allow only

Device Users, change the APC-Service-Type to Device.

DEFAULT Auth-Type = System

APC-Service-Type = Admin

• Add user names and attributes to the RADIUS “user” file, and verify password against

/etc/passwd. The following example is for users bconners and thawk:

bconners Auth-Type = System

APC-Service-Type = Admin

thawk Auth-Type = System

APC-Service-Type = Device

Supported RADIUS servers

Schneider Electric supports FreeRADIUS and Microsoft Server 2003 IAS. Other commonly available RADIUS
applications may work but have not been fully tested by Schneider Electric.

The TCP/IP option on the side menu bar, selected by default when you choose Network on the top menu bar,
displays the current IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and MAC address of the InRow RD cooling unit.

On the same page, TCP/IP Configuration provides the following options for how the TCP/IP settings will be
configured when the InRow RD cooling unit turns on, resets, or restarts: Manual, BOOTP, DHCP, and DHCP &
BOOTP.

For information on DHCP and DHCP options, see RFC2131 and RFC2132.

Setting Description

Manual The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway must be configured manually. Click Next>>, and

enter the new values.

BOOTP A BOOTP server provides the TCP/IP settings. At 32-second intervals, the InRow RD cooling unit

requests network assignment from any BOOTP server:

• If it receives a valid response, it starts the network services.

• If it finds a BOOTP server, but a request to that server fails or times out, the InRow RD cooling unit
stops requesting network settings until it is restarted.

• By default, if previously configured network settings exist, and it receives no valid response to five
requests (the original and four retries), it uses the previously configured settings so that it remains
accessible.

Click Next>> to access the BOOTP Configuration page to change the number of retries or the action to
take if all retries fail

• Maximum retries: Enter the number of retries that will occur when no valid response is received, or
zero (0) for an unlimited number of retries.

• If retries fail: Select Use prior settings (the default) or Stop BOOTP request.

DHCP At 32-second intervals, the InRow RD cooling unit requests network assignment from any DHCP

server. By default, the number of retries is unlimited.

• If it receives a valid response, by default it requires the cookie from the DHCP server in order to
accept the lease and start the network services.

• If it finds a DHCP server, but the request to that server fails or times out, it stops requesting network
settings until it is restarted.

To change these values, click Next>> for the DHCP Configuration page

• Require vendor specific cookie to accept DHCP Address: Disable or enable the requirement that
the DHCP server provide the cookie.

• Maximum retries: Enter the number of retries that will occur when no valid response is received, or
zero (0) for an unlimited number of retries.

1 The default values for these three settings on the configuration pages generally do not need to be changed:

The default setting. The InRow RD cooling unit tries to obtain its TCP/IP settings from a BOOTP server
first, and then, if it cannot discover a BOOTP server, from a DHCP server. If it obtains its TCP/IP
settings from either server, it switches this setting to BOOTP or DHCP, depending on the type of server
that supplied the TCP/IP settings to the InRow RD cooling unit.

Vendor Class: APC
Client ID: The MAC address of the InRow RD cooling unit, which uniquely identifies it on the local area network (LAN)
User Class: The name of the application firmware module

DHCP response options

Each valid DHCP response contains options that provide the TCP/IP settings that the InRow RD cooling unit
needs to operate on a network, and other information that affects the operation of the InRow RD cooling unit.

Vendor Specific Information (option 43): The InRow RD cooling unit uses this option in a DHCP response to
determine whether the DHCP response is valid. This option contains up to two Schneider-Electric-specific
options in a TAG/LEN/DATA format: the Cookie and the Boot Mode Transition.

• Cookie. Tag 1, Len 4, Data “1APC”

Option 43 communicates to the InRow RD cooling unit that a DHCP server is configured to service
Schneider Electric devices. By default, this DHCP response option must contain the cookie for the
InRow RD cooling unit to accept the lease.

To disable the requirement of a cookie, see “DHCP” on page 30.

Following, in hexadecimal format, is an example of a Vendor Specific Information option that contains
the cookie:

Option 43 = 0x01 0x04 0x31 0x41 0x50 0x43

• Boot Mode Transition. Tag 2, Len 1, Data 1/2

This option 43 setting enables or disables Remain in DHCP & BOOTP mode after accepting TCP/
IP settings, which, by default, is disabled.

• A data value of 1 enables Remain in DHCP & BOOTP mode after accepting TCP/IP settings.

Whenever the InRow RD cooling unit reboots, it will request its network assignment first from a
BOOTP server, and then, if necessary, from a DHCP server.

• A data value of 2 disables the option Remain in DHCP & BOOTP mode after accepting TCP/IP
settings option. The TCP/IP Configuration setting option switches to DHCP when the InRow
RD cooling unit accepts the DHCP response. Whenever the InRow RD cooling unit reboots, it will
request its network assignment from a DHCP server only.

Following, in hexadecimal format, is an example of a Vendor Specific Information option that contains
the cookie and the disable setting for Boot Mode Transition:

Option 43 = 0x01 0x04 0x31 0x41 0x50 0x43 0x02 0x01 0x01

TCP/IP options: The InRow RD cooling unit uses the following options within a valid DHCP response to define
its TCP/IP settings. All of these options except the first are described in RFC2132.

• IP Address (from the yiaddr field of the DHCP response, described in RFC2131): The IP address that

the DHCP server is leasing to the InRow RD cooling unit.

• Subnet Mask (option 1): The Subnet Mask value that the InRow RD cooling unit needs to operate on the

network.

31InRow RD 100-Series and InRow RD 200-Series User Guide

• Router, i.e., Default Gateway (option 3): The default gateway address that the InRow RD cooling unit

needs to operate on the network.

• IP Address Lease Time (option 51): The time duration for the lease of the IP Address to the InRow RD

cooling unit.

• Renewal Time, T1 (option 58): The time that the InRow RD cooling unit must wait after an IP address

lease is assigned before it can request a renewal of that lease.

• Rebinding Time, T2 (option 59): The time that the InRow RD cooling unit must wait after an IP address

lease is assigned before it can seek to rebind that lease.

Other options: The InRow RD cooling unit also uses these options within a valid DHCP response. All of these
options except the last are described in RFC2132.

• Network Time Protocol Servers (option 42): Up to two NTP servers (primary and secondary) that the

InRow RD cooling unit can use.

• Time Offset (option 2): The offset of the InRow RD cooling unit's subnet, in seconds, from Coordinated

Universal Time (UTC).

• Domain Name Server (option 6): Up to two Domain Name System (DNS) servers (primary and

secondary) that the InRow RD cooling unit can use.

• Host Name (option 12): The host name that the InRow RD cooling unit will use (32-character maximum

length).

• Domain Name (option 15): The domain name that the InRow RD cooling unit will use (64-character

maximum length).

• Boot File Name (from the file field of the DHCP response, described in RFC2131): The fully qualified
directory-path to an user configuration file (.ini file) to download. The siaddr field of the DHCP response
specifies the IP address of the server from which the InRow RD cooling unit will download the .ini file.
After the download, the InRow RD cooling unit uses the .ini file as a boot file to reconfigure its settings.

Port Speed

Path: Administration > Network > Port Speed

The Port Speed setting defines the communication speed of the TCP/IP port.

• For Auto-negotiation (the default), Ethernet devices negotiate to transmit at the highest possible speed,
but if the supported speeds of two devices are unmatched, the slower speed is used.

• Alternatively, you can choose 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, each with the option of half-duplex (communication
in only one direction at a time) or full-duplex (communication in both directions on the same channel
simultaneously).

InRow RD 100-Series and InRow RD 200-Series User Guide32

DNS

Path: Administration > Network > DNS > options

Use the options under DNS on the left navigation menu to configure and test the Domain Name System (DNS):

• Select servers to specify the IP addresses of the primary and optional secondary DNS server. For the

InRow RD cooling unit to send e-mail, at least the IP
defined.

– The InRow RD cooling unit waits up to 15 seconds for a response from the primary DNS server or the

secondary DNS server (if a secondary DNS server is specified). If the InRow RD cooling unit does
not receive a response within that time, e-mail cannot be sent. Therefore, use DNS servers on the
same segment as the InRow RD cooling unit or on a nearby segment (but not across a wide-area
network [WAN]).

– After you define the IP addresses of the DNS servers, verify that DNS is working correctly by entering

the DNS name of a computer on your network to look up the IP address for that computer.

• Select naming to define the host name and domain name of the InRow RD cooling unit:

– Host Name: After you configure a host name here and a domain name in the Domain Name field,

users can enter a host name in any field in the InRow RD cooling unit interface (except e-mail
addresses) that accepts a domain name.

– Domain Name: You need to configure the domain name here only. In all other fields in the InRow RD

cooling unit interface (except e-mail addresses) that accept domain names, the InRow RD cooling
unit adds this domain name when only a host name is entered.

• To override all instances of the expansion of a specified host name by the addition of the domain
name, set the domain name field to its default, somedomain.com, or to 0.0.0.0.

• To override the expansion of a specific host name entry (or example, when defining a trap
receiver) include a trailing period. The InRow RD cooling unit recognizes a host name with a
trailing period (such as mySnmpServer.) as if it were a fully qualified domain name and does
not append the domain name.

• Select test to send a DNS query that tests the setup of your DNS servers:

–As Query Type, select the method to use for the DNS query:

• by Host: the URL name of the server

• by FQDN: the fully qualified domain name

• by IP: the IP address of the server

• by MX: the Mail Exchange used by the server

–As Query Question, identify the value to be used for the selected query type:

address of the primary DNS server must be

Query Type Selected Query Question to Use

by Host The URL

Path: Administration > Network > Console >

Option Description

access Choose one of the following for access by Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH):

• Disable: Disables all access to the control console.

• Enable Telnet (the default): Telnet transmits user names, passwords, and data without encryption.

• Enable SSH v1 and v2: Do not enable both versions 1 and 2 of SSH unless you require both.

• Enable SSH v1 only: SSH version 1 encrypts user names, passwords, and data for transmission.

There is little or no delay as you log on.

• Enable SSH v2 only: SSH version 2 transmits user names, passwords, and data in encrypted

form with more protection than version 1 from attempts to intercerpt, forge, or alter data during
transmission. There is a noticeable delay as you log on.

Configure the ports to be used by these protocols:

• Telnet Port: The Telnet port used to communicate with the InRow RD cooling unit (23 by

default).You can change the port setting to any unused port from 5000 to 32768 for additional
security. Users must then use a colon (:) or a space, as require by your Telnet client program, to
specify the non-default port. For example, for port 5000 and an IP address of 152.214.12.114, your
Telnet client requires one of these commands:

• SSH Port: The SSH port used to communicate with the InRow RD cooling unit (22 by default). You

can change the port setting to any unused port from 5000 to 32768 for additional security. See the
documentation for your SSH client for the command line format required to specify a non-default
port.

ssh encryption Enable or disable encryption algorithms (block ciphers) compatible with SSH version 1 or version 2

clients:

options

telnet 152.214.12.114:5000

telnet 152.214.12.114 5000

If your SSH v1 client cannot use Blowfish, you must also enable DES.

Your SSH v2 client selects the enabled algorithm that provides the highest security. If the client
cannot use the default algorithms (3DES or Blowfish), enable an AES algorithm that it can use
(AES 128 or AES 256).

Option Description

ssh host key Status indicates the status of the host key (private key):

• SSH Disabled: No host key in use: When disabled, SSH cannot use a host key.

• Generating: The InRow RD cooling unit is creating a host key because no valid host key was

found.

• Loading: A host key is being activated on the InRow RD cooling unit.

• Valid: One of the following valid host keys is in the /sec directory (the required location on the

InRow RD cooling unit):

•A 1024-bit host key created by the Schneider Electric Security Wizard

•A 768-bit RSA host key generated by the

InRow RD cooling unit

Add or Replace: Browse to and upload a host key file created by the Security Wizard:

If you use FTP or Secure CoPy (SCP) instead to transfer the host key file, you must specify the /sec
directory as the target location in the command.

To use the Schneider Electric Security Wizard, see the Security Handbook on the Schneider Electric
Web site (www.schneider-electric.com).

N

OTE: To reduce the time required to enable SSH, create and upload a host key in advance. If you

enable SSH with no host key loaded, the InRow RD takes up to 5 minutes to create a host key,
and the SSH server is not accessible during that time.

Remove: Remove the current host key.

NOTE: To use SSH, you must have an SSH client installed. Most Linux and other UNIX® platforms include an

SSH client, but Microsoft Windows operating systems do not. Clients are available from various vendors.

SNMP

SNMPv1

Path: Administration > Network > SNMPv1 > options

All user names, passwords, and community names for SNMP are transferred over the network as plain text. If
your network requires the high security of encryption, disable SNMP access or set the access for each
community to Read. (A community with Read access can receive status information and use SNMP traps.)

When using StruXureWare Data Center Expert to manage the InRow RD cooling unit on the public network of a
Struxureware system, you must have SNMP enabled in the InRow RD cooling unit interface. Read access will
allow StruXureWare Data Center Expert to receive traps from the InRow RD cooling unit, but Write access is
required while you use the interface of the InRow RD cooling unit to set StruXureWare Data Center Expert as a
trap receiver.

Option Description

access Enable SNMPv1 Access: Enables SNMP version 1 as a method of communication with this device.

access
control

You can configure up to four access control entries to specify which NMSs have access to this device.
The opening page for access control, by default, assigns one entry to each of the four available
SNMPv1 communities, but you can edit these settings to apply more than one entry to any community
to grant access by several specific IP addresses, host names, or IP address masks. To edit the access
control settings for a community, click its community name.

• If you leave the default access control entry unchanged for a community, that community has access
to this device from any location on the network.

• If you configure multiple access control entries for one community name, the limit of four entries
requires that one or more of the other communities must have no access control entry. If no access
control entry is listed for a community, that community has no access to this device.

Community Name: The name that a Network Management System (NMS) must use to access the
community. The maximum length is 15 ASCII characters, and the default community names for the four
communities are public, private, public2, and private2.

NMS IP/Host Name: The IP address, IP address mask, or host name that controls access by NMSs. A
host name or a specific IP address (such as 149.225.12.1) allows access only by the NMS at that
location. IP addresses that contain 255 restrict access as follows:

• 149.225.12.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149.225.12 segment.

• 149.225.255.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149.225 segment.

• 149.255.255.255: Access only by an NMS on the 149 segment.

• 0.0.0.0 (the default setting) which can also be expressed as 255.255.255.255: Access by any NMS on
any segment.

Access Type: The actions an NMS can perform through the community.

• Read: GETS only, at any time

• Write: GETS at any time, and SETS when no user is logged onto the Web interface or control
console.

• Write+: GETS and SETS at any time.

•

Disabled: No GETS or SETS at any time.

through apc snmp profile4, and no authentication and no privacy (no encryption). To edit the following
settings for a user profile, click a user name in the list.

User Name: The identifier of the user profile. SNMP version 3 maps GETs, SETs, and traps to a user
profile by matching the user name of the profile to the user name in the data packet being transmitted.
A user name can have up to 32 ASCII characters.

Authentication Passphrase: A phrase of 15 to 32 ASCII characters (apc auth passphrase, by
default) that verifies that the NMS communicating with this device through SNMPv3 is the NMS it
claims to be, that the message has not been changed during transmission, and that the message was
communicated in a timely manner, indicating that it was not delayed and that it was not copied and sent
again later at an inappropriate time.

Privacy Passphrase: A phrase of 15 to 32 ASCII characters (apc crypt passphrase, by default)
that ensures the privacy of the data (by means of encryption) that an NMS is sending to this device or
receiving from this device through SNMPv3.

Authentication Protocol

authentication. Authentication will not occur unless MD5 is selected as the authentication protocol.

Privacy Protocol: The Schneider Electric implementation of SNMPv3 supports DES as the protocol for
encrypting and decrypting data. Privacy of transmitted data requires that DES is selected as the privacy

FTP Server

Path: Administration > Network > FTP Server

The FTP server settings enable (by default) or disable access to the FTP server and specify the TCP/IP port
(21 by default) that the FTP server uses to communicate with the InRow RD cooling unit. The FTP server uses
both the specified port and the port one number lower than the specified port.

You can change the Port setting to the number of any unused port from 5001 to 32768 for added security.
Users must then use a colon (:) to specify the non-default port number. For example, for port 5001 and IP
address 152.214.12.114, the command would be ftp 152.214.12.114:5001.

N

OTE: FTP transfers files without encryption. For higher security, disable the FTP server, and transfer files with

Secure CoPy (SCP). Selecting and configuring Secure SHell (SSH) enables SCP automatically.

At any time that you want a UPS to be accessible for management by StruXureWare Data Center Expert, FTP
Server must be enabled in the InRow RD cooling unit interface.

Administration: Notification and Logging

Event Actions

Path: Administration > Notification > Event Actions > options

Types of notification

You can configure event actions to occur in response to an event or group of events. These actions notify users
of the event in any of several ways:

• Active, automatic notification. The specified users or monitoring devices are contacted directly.

– E-mail notification

–SNMP traps

– Syslog notification

• Indirect notification in the event log. If no direct notification is configured, users must check the log to
determine which events have occurred.

For another method of indirect notification, see “SNMP” on page 38. SNMP enables an NMS to
perform informational queries. For SNMPv1, configuring the most restrictive SNMP access type,
READ, enables informational queries without the risk of allowing remote configuration changes.

You can also log system performance data to use for device monitoring. See “Data log” on page 23
for information on how to configure and use this data logging option.

Configuring event actions

Notification parameters: For events that have an associated clearing event, you can also set the following

parameters as you configure events individually or by group, as described in the next two sections. To access
the parameters, click the receiver or recipient name.

Parameter Description

Delay x time before sending If the event persists for the specified time, notification is sent. If the condition

clears before the time expires, no notification is sent.

Repeat at an interval of x time The notification is sent at the specified interval (e.g., every 2 minutes).

Up to x times During an active event, the notification repeats for this number of times.

Until condition clears The notification is sent repeatedly until the condition clears or is resolved.

Configuring by event : To define event actions for an individual event:

1. Select the Administration tab, Notification on the top menu bar, and by event under Event Actions

on the left navigation menu.

2. In the list of events, review the marked columns to see whether the action you want is already

configured. (By default, logging is configured for all events.)

3. To view or change the current configuration, such as recipients to be notified by e-mail, or Network

Management Systems (NMSs) to be notified by SNMP traps, click on the event name.

Setting Description

To Address The user and domain names of the recipient. To use e-mail for paging, use the e-mail address for

the recipient pager gateway account (for example, [e-mail]). The pager
gateway will generate the page.

To bypass the DNS lookup of the IP address of the mail server, use the IO address in brackets
instead of the e-mail domain name, e.g., use jsmith@[xxx.xxx.x.xxx] instead of
[e-mail]. This is useful when DNS lookups are not working correctly.

N

OTE: The recipient pager must be able to use text-based messaging.

SMTP Server Select one of the following methods for routing e-mail:

• Local: Through the SMTP server of the cooling unit. This setting (recommended) ensures that the

e-mail is sent before the InRow RD cooling unit 20-second time-out, and, if necessary, is retried
several times. Also do one of the following:

•Enable forwarding at the SMTP servers are not configured to forward e-mail. Check with the
administrator of your SMTP server before changing its configuration to allow forwarding.

•Set up a special e-mail account for the InRow RD cooling unit to forward e-mail to an external
mail account.

• Recipient: Directly to the recipient SMTP server. With this setting, the InRow RD cooling unit tries

to send the e-mail only once. On a busy remote SMTP server, the time-out may prevent some
e-mail from being sent.

When the recipient uses the SMTP server of the cooling unit, this setting has no effect.

About the InRow RD

Path: Administration > General > About

The hardware information is especially useful to Schneider Electric Customer Support to troubleshoot problems
with the InRow RD cooling unit. The serial number and MAC address are also available on the InRow RD
cooling unit itself.

Firmware information for the Application Module and OS (AOS) indicates the name, the firmware version, and
the date and time each firmware module was created. This information is also useful in troubleshooting and
enables you to determine if updated firmware is available at the Schneider Electric Web site.

Management Uptime is the length of time the interface has been running continuously.

Device IP Configuration Wizard

Capabilities, Requirements, and Installation

How to use the Wizard to configure TCP/IP settings

The Device IP Configuration Wizard configures the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway of one or
more InRow RDs. You can use the Wizard in either of the following ways:

• Remotely over your TCP/IP network to discover and configure unconfigured InRow RDs on the same

network segment as the computer running the Wizard.

• Through a direct connection from a serial port of your computer to the InRow RD to configure or

reconfigure it.

System requirements

The Wizard runs on Windows® 2000, Windows 2003, Windows Vista®, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows
Server 2008, Windows 8, and Windows 2012.

Configure the basic TCP/IP settings remotely

Prepare to configure the settings: Before you run the Wizard:

1. Contact your network administrator to obtain valid TCP/IP settings.

2. If you are configuring multiple unconfigured InRow RDs, obtain the MAC address of each one to identify

it when the Wizard discovers it. (The Wizard displays the MAC address on the screen on which you then
enter the TCP/IP settings.)

– The MAC address is on a label on the InRow RD.

– You can also obtain the MAC address from the Quality Assurance slip that came with the InRow RD.

Run the Wizard to perform the configuration: To discover and configure unconfigured InRow RDs over the
network:

1. From the Start menu, launch the Wizard. The Wizard detects the first InRow RD that is not configured.

How to Export Configuration Settings

Retrieving and Exporting the .ini File

Summary of the procedure

An Administrator can retrieve the .ini file of a cooling unit and export it to another cooling unit or to multiple
cooling units.

1. Configure one cooling unit to have the settings you want to export.

2. Retrieve the .ini file from that cooling unit.

3. Customize the file to change at least the TCP/IP settings.

4. Use a file transfer protocol supported by the cooling unit to transfer a copy to one or more other cooling

units. For a transfer to multiple cooling units, use an FTP or SCP script or the Schneider Electric .ini file
utility.

Each receiving cooling unit uses the file to reconfigure its own settings and then deletes it.

Contents of the .ini file

The config.ini file you retrieve from the cooling unit contains the following:

• section headings and keywords (only those supported for the device from which you retrieve the file):

Section headings are category names enclosed in brackets ([ ]). Keywords, under each section heading,
are labels describing specific cooling unit settings. Each keyword is followed by an equals sign and a
value (either the default or a configured value).

• The override keyword: With its default value, this keyword prevents the exporting of one or more

keywords and their device-specific values, e.g., in the [NetworkTCP/IP] section, the default value for

Override (the MAC address of the cooling unit) blocks the exporting of values for the SystemIP,
SubnetMask, DefaultGateway, and BootMode.

Detailed procedures

Retrieving: To set up and retrieve an .ini file to export:

1. If possible, use the interface of a cooling unit to configure it with the settings to export. Directly editing

the .ini file risks introducing errors.

2. To use FTP to retrieve config.ini from the configured cooling unit:

a. Open a connection to the cooling unit, using its IP address:

ftp> open ip_address

b. Log on using the Administrator user name and password.

c. Retrieve the config.ini file containing the cooling unit settings:

ftp>

The file is written to the folder from which you launched FTP.

get config.ini

53InRow RD 100-Series and InRow RD 200-Series User Guide

Customizing: You must customize the file before you export it.

1. Use a text editor to customize the file.

– Section headings, keywords, and pre-defined values are not case-sensitive, but string values that

you define are case-sensitive.

– Use adjacent quotation marks to indicate no value. For example, LinkURL1="" indicates that the

URL is intentionally undefined.

– Enclose in quotation marks any values that contain leading or trailing spaces or are already enclosed

in quotation marks.

– To export scheduled events, configure the values directly in the .ini file.

– To export a system time with the greatest accuracy, if the receiving cooling units can access a

Network Time Protocol server, configure enabled for NTPEnable:

NTPEnable=enabled

Alternatively, reduce transmission time by exporting the [SystemDate/Time] section as a separate
.ini file.

– To add comments, start each comment line with a semicolon (;).

2. Copy the customized file to another file name in the same folder:

– The file name can have up to 64 characters and must have the .ini suffix.

– Retain the original customized file for future use. The file that you retain is the only record of your

comments.

Transferring the file to a single cooling unit: To transfer the .ini file to another cooling unit, do either of the

following:

• From the Web interface of the receiving cooling unit, select the Administration tab, General on the top
menu bar, and User Config File on the left navigation menu. Enter the full path of the file, or use
Browse.

• Use any file transfer protocol supported by cooling units, i.e., FTP, FTP Client, SCP, or TFTP). The
following example uses FTP:

a. From the folder containing the copy of the customized .ini file, use FTP to log in to the cooling unit

to which you are exporting the .ini file:

ftp> open ip_address

b. Export the copy of the customized .ini file to the root directory of the receiving cooling unit:

ftp>

Exporting the file to multiple cooling units: To export the .ini file to multiple cooling units:

• Use FTP or SCP, but write a script that incorporates and repeats the steps used for exporting the file to a
single cooling unit.

• Use a batch processing file and the Schneider Electric .ini file utility.

put filename.ini

The Upload Event and Error Messages

The event and its error messages

The following event occurs when the receiving cooling unit completes using the .ini file to update its settings.

Configuration file upload complete, with number valid values

If a keyword, section name, or value is invalid, the upload by the receiving cooling unit succeeds, and additional
event text states the error.

Event text Description

Configuration file warning: Invalid keyword on line
number.

Configuration file warning: Invalid value on line
number.

Configuration file warning: Invalid section on line

number.

Configuration file warning: Keyword found outside
of a section on line number.

Configuration file warning: Configuration file
exceeds maximum size.

A line with an invalid keyword or value is ignored.

If a section name is invalid, all keyword/value pairs in that section
are ignored.

A keyword entered at the beginning of the file (i.e., before any
section headings) is ignored.

If the file is too large, an incomplete upload occurs. Reduce the
size of the file, or divide it into two files, and try uploading again.

Messages in config.ini

A device associated with the cooling unit from which you download the config.ini file must be discovered
successfully in order for its configuration to be included. If the device is not present or, for another reason, is not
discovered, the config.ini file contains a message under the appropriate section name, instead of keywords and
values.

If you did not intend to export the configuration of the device as part of the .ini file import, ignore these
messages.

Errors generated by overridden values

The Override keyword and its value will generate error messages in the event log when it blocks the
exporting of values.

See “Contents of the .ini file” on page 53 for information about which values are overridden.

Because the overridden values are device-specific and not appropriate to export to other cooling units, ignore
these error messages. To prevent these error messages, you can delete the lines that contain the Override
keyword and the lines that contain the values that they override. Do not delete or change the line containing the
section heading.

Upgrading Firmware

Benefits of upgrading firmware

When you upgrade the firmware on the InRow RD cooling unit:

• You obtain the latest bug fixes and performance improvements.

• New features become available for immediate use.

Keeping the firmware versions consistent across your network ensures that all InRow RD cooling units support
the same features in the same manner.

Firmware files (InRow RD cooling unit)

A firmware version consists of two modules: An operating system (OS) module and an application module.
Each module contains one or more cyclical redundancy checks (CRCs) to protect its data from corruption
during transfer.

The operating system (OS) and application module files used with the InRow RD cooling unit share the same
basic format:

apc_hardware-version_type_firmware-version.bin

• apc: Indicates that this is an Schneider Electric file.

• hardware-version: hw0x identifies the version of the hardware on which you can use this binary file.

• type: Identifies whether the file is for the operating system (OS) or the application module for the InRow

RD cooling unit.

• version: The version number of the file.

• bin: Indicates that this is a binary file.

Obtain the latest firmware version

Automated upgrade tool for Microsoft Windows systems: An upgrade tool automates the transferring of

the firmware modules on any supported Windows operating system. Obtain the latest version of the tool at no
cost from www.schneider-electric.com/download. At this Web page, find the latest firmware release for your
Schneider Electric product and download the automated tool. Never use the tool for one Schneider Electric
product to upgrade firmware of another.

Manual upgrades, primarily for Linux systems: If no computer on your network is running a Microsoft
Windows operating system, you must upgrade the firmware of your InRow RD cooling units by using the
separate AOS and application firmware modules.

Obtain the individual firmware modules by downloading the automated tool from
www.schneider-electric.com/download, then extracting the firmware files from the tool.

To extract the firmware files:

1. Run the tool.

2. At the prompts, click Next>, and then specify the directory location to which the files will be extracted.

3. When the Extraction Complete message displays, close the dialog box.

57InRow RD 100-Series and InRow RD 200-Series User Guide

Firmware File Transfer Methods

To upgrade the firmware of a InRow RD cooling unit, use one of these methods:

• From a networked computer running a Microsoft Windows operating system, use the firmware upgrade
tool downloaded from the Schneider Electric Web site.

• From a networked computer on any supported operating system, use FTP or SCP to transfer the
individual OS and application firmware modules.

• For a InRow RD cooling unit that is not on your network, use XMODEM through a serial connection to
transfer the individual firmware modules from your computer to the InRow RD cooling unit.

CAUTION: When you transfer individual firmware modules, you must transfer the operating system

(OS) module to the InRow RD cooling unit before you transfer the application module.

Use FTP or SCP to upgrade one InRow RD

FTP: For you to use FTP to upgrade one InRow RD cooling unit over the network:

• The InRow RD cooling unit must be connected to the network, and its system IP, subnet mask, and
default gateway must be configured

• The FTP server must be enabled at the InRow RD cooling unit

• The firmware files must be extracted from the firmware upgrade tool (see “To extract the firmware files:”
on page 57)

To transfer the files:

1. Open a command prompt window of a computer on the network. Go to the directory that contains the

firmware files, and list the files:

C:\>cd\apc
C:\apc>dir

For the listed files, xxx represents the firmware version number:

• apc_hw03_aos_xxx.bin

• apc_hw03_application_xxx.bin

2. Open an FTP client session:

C:\apc>ftp

3. Type open and the cooling unit IP address, and press ENTER. If the port setting for the FTP Server has

changed from its default of 21, you must use the non-default value in the FTP command.

– For Windows FTP clients, separate a non-default port number from the IP address by a space. For

example:

ftp> open 150.250.6.10 21000

– Some FTP clients require a colon instead before the port number.

4. Log on as Administrator; apc is the default user name and password.

5. Upgrade the OS. In the example, xxx is the firmware version number:

ftp>

bin

ftp> put apc_hw03_aos_xxx.bin

6. When FTP confirms the transfer, type quit to close the session.

7. After 20 seconds, repeat step 2 through step 6. In step 5, use the application module file name.

SCP: To use Secure CoPy (SCP) to upgrade firmware for a InRow RD cooling unit:

1. Identify and locate the firmware modules described in the preceding instructions for FTP.

2. Use an SCP command line to transfer the AOS firmware module to the InRow RD cooling unit. The

following example uses xxx to represent the version number of the AOS module:

InRow RD 100-Series and InRow RD 200-Series User Guide58

scp apc_hw03_aos_xxx.bin apc@158.205.6.185:apc_hw03_aos_xxx.bin

3. Use a similar SCP command line, with the name of the application module, to transfer the second

firmware module to the InRow RD cooling unit.

How to upgrade multiple InRow RDs

Export configuration settings: You can create batch files and use a Schneider Electric utility to retrieve

configuration settings from multiple InRow RD cooling units and export them to other InRow RD cooling units.

Use FTP or SCP to upgrade multiple InRow RD cooling units: To upgrade multiple InRow RD cooling units
using an FTP client or using SCP, write a script which automatically performs the procedure.

Use XMODEM to upgrade one InRow RD

To upgrade the firmware for one InRow RD cooling unit that is not on the network, you must extract the
firmware files from the firmware upgrade tool (see “To extract the firmware files:” on page 57).

To transfer the files:

1. Obtain the individual firmware modules (the AOS module and the application module) from

www.schneider-electric.com/download.

2. Select a serial port at the local computer and disable any service that uses the port.

3. Connect the provided configuration cable to the selected port and to the serial port at the InRow RD

cooling unit.
