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.
InRow RD 100-Series and InRow RD 200-Series User Guide6
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.
