Chapter 1: Introducing the PRO2

Welcome to the Server Technology  Switched PRO2
The Switched PRO2 is the latest design in Server Technology’s reliable power distribution units, providing flexibility for future power management, cost savings, and advanced solutions for data center customers.

Key Product Features

The Switched PRO2 offers many features for the next generation of power management, including:
PIPS® and (optionally) POPS® high-accuracy measurements for current, voltage, power, and other key metrics. PIPS is a standard feature on all PRO2 units.
Auto-Flip LED display gives the proper display orientation no matter how the PRO2 is mounted in the cabinet.
Outlet naming on all PRO2 products (for both Switched and Smart products).
Hot-swappable network interface card (NIC) allows swapping the card in the field without causing a change
in outlet state. The NIC can easily be replaced even when power is applied.
Support for IPv6 address names and support for SNMPv3.
Equipped for the mobile power monitoring solution using a Bluetooth
®
module (for either Google Android or
Apple iOS), along with Server Technology’s ST Eye mobile application.
Branch current measurements on both Switched and Smart PRO2 products, and notification of fuse or breaker failure.
Several new levels of power monitoring for high-low warning-alarm thresholds and threshold hysteresis.
If the master unit loses power, redundant power is provided to the master via the first linked unit, ensuring
uptime.
On-board firmware file system to allow direct GUI downloads of system files, firmware version updates, and MIB/OID tree files without using FTP.
Intuitive and soft-mapped naming conventions used in both the PRO2 hardware and firmware to reflect the system hierarchy of units, cords, lines, phases, over-current protectors (OCPs), branches, outlets, outlet groups, and sensors.

What’s the PRO1?

Like the PRO2, the PRO1 (Switched and Smart) is another new PDU design from Server Technology to provide the same type of flexibility for power management, cost savings, and advanced data center solutions that the PRO2 delivers.

What’s Unique About the PRO1?

Server Technology’s PRO1 design allows for PRO2 functionality in a CDU1 form factor. The PRO1 uses the Sentry4-MIB and the PRO2 firmware, version 8.0.x, allowing PRO1 products to offer the latest
features and functions of the PRO2 product family.
Equipment View of the PRO1 Unit

Feature Comparison: PRO1 vs. PRO2

About Your User Guide

This user guide was designed for data center personnel who monitor power, control outlet actions, and administer equipment operations in the data center network using Server Technology’s firmware, version 8.0x or later, on the PRO2 product family.
Your guide provides installation, connection, and mounting instructions for the PRO2 product in the equipment cabinet and illustrates the PRO2’s key features in a hardware overview.
Also provided is task-based information for working with the firmware. Step-by-step instructions are presented for daily operational tasks on the PRO2 when using the firmware Web Interface, including GUI screen samples for each function. If CLI is preferred, a separate chapter provides detailed command syntax and usage for every command that can be issued on the PRO2.

PDU Power Pivot

Server Technology’s PDU Power Pivot  flexible infeed provides a simplified power cord routing to the PRO2 unit with a design that eliminates bend radius issues.
As illustrated below, the PDU Power Pivot capability can deliver a solution for several types of PDU installations and mountings, setting the correct cord angle for overhead power, offset overhead power, concrete floor, raised floor, and intra-rack power.

Star Linking Technology

Server Technology’s PRO2 introduces Star Linking technology that supports the optional linking of up to three
expansion (link) units per one PRO2 master unit, allowing a single IP address for multiple cabinets.
Note: The Star Linking feature is available only with PRO2 products.
The following illustrations show multi-linking between separate units and within the cabinet:
Multi-Linked PRO2 Units Multi-Linking View in the Equipment Cabinet
Redundant Power and Communication
The Star Linking arrangement is fault tolerant, with redundant power coming from the first link unit. The arrangement also offers significant cost reduction as the link units do not require a network card.
Another significant advantage of Star Linking technology is that if power in the master unit is lost, communication will continue with the other link units – a major improvement over a daisy chain linking configuration.
Outlet Grouping
The multi-linking arrangement allows outlet grouping across the master and three link units.
Cable Length
The maximum cable length allowed from link unit to master unit is 21-feet.
Multi-Linking Module
In the Star Linking arrangement, the first PRO2 link unit connects via the PRO2 link port. However, the second and third link units in the multi-linking arrangement attach to an optional T-shaped module that connects to the Bluetooth® port on the PRO2 master unit, while still allowing full functionality for Bluetooth® mobile power monitoring.
Page 9
Switched PRO2 – User Guide
Introducing the PRO2 9
The module and its connection are illustrated as follows:
Multi-Linking Module Connection to Bluetooth® Module Port
Getting Started
The optional Star Linking feature is sold as a separate kit purchased from Server Technology. To use the feature, contact your sales representative to order the PRO2 Multi-Linking Module Kit, part number KIT-PRO2LINK-01M.
The kit contains:
1 link module (labeled to show the 2nd and 3rd link unit)
2 linking cables, (21 ft.) 6.4 m

Unit Persistence

Unit Persistence is an internal PRO2 feature that works as follows: If a link unit is connected to a master unit, and the link unit is disconnected (powered down or accidentally
disconnected), and the master unit is restarted, the link unit will be reported as “Not Found” after the restart
because the link unit is no longer physically connected to the master. However, the association between the master/link units is retained to allow the continuation of alerts. If the
disconnected link unit is physically re-connected to the master, the “Not Found” status will return to “Normal” status. To intentionally remove a link unit from connection with a master unit, the link unit must be purged using the Purge
function. Unit persistence affects all connected PRO2 master/link units whether or not they are connected in a multi-
linking configuration.

Getting Started with the Firmware 19

Chapter 3: Getting Started with the Firmware

This chapter introduces several key features of the firmware (version 8.0x or later) for the PRO2.
Note: Firmware, version 8.0, for the PRO2 product is not compatible with other Server Technology Rack Power Distribution Unit products. There is no upgrade path from earlier PDI products to PRO2 products.

On-Board File System

The firmware Web Interface provides an embedded file system to give quick access to system configuration files, as well as the on-board and downloadable Sentry4-MIB and OID Tree for the PRO2, eliminating website MIB/OID downloads.
The page also allows GUI-based file uploads (without FTP) for system, configuration, and firmware versions. However, all PRO2 configuration/system files, MIB, and OID Tree can also be accessed via FTP/SFTP.

Intuitive and Consistent Terminology

The design of the firmware includes intuitive and soft-mapped naming conventions between the interfaces (Web and CLI) and the PRO2 product. For example, the firmware GUI areas (cords, lines, phases, over-current protectors, branches, outlets, sensors, etc.) match the same areas designed in the PRO2 hardware architecture.
Outlet numbers are named 1-n sequentially and the outlet name is not tied to infeeds or branches. Input cords are also simply named 1-n sequentially (like 1-24), no longer 1-n for each phase (like XY 1-8, YZ 1-8, ZX 1-8).
Also, firmware naming formats match the exact silkscreened names on the hardware unit.

Outlet Grouping

An outlet group is named group with a collection of PRO2 outlets assigned to the group. Outlet groups can be granted access to selected outlets by the administrative user (via the Web interface or CLI), and outlet activity by group can be monitored on a separate Web interface page for outlet group monitoring.

Setting Thresholds

When setting threshold values, the PRO2 firmware allows expanded alerting capabilities. Threshold values can be set by the administrative-user for multiple low/high warning/alarm levels (and threshold hysteresis), as listed below in the following PRO2 areas.
Every item shown in the following list – for which a threshold can be set – also has a corresponding Monitoring page for viewing the item’s current threshold values and operational status.
Branch current (low and high).
Cord power (low and high), cord apparent power (low and high), cord power factor (low), 3-phase out-of-
balance (high).
Line current (low and high).
Outlet current (low and high), outlet power (low and high), outlet power factor (low).
Phase voltage (low and high), phase power factor (low).
Temperature sensor (low and high).
Humidity sensor (low and high).
Analog-to-Digital (ADC) sensor (low and high) – if an EMCU is connected to the PRO2 unit.

The User Interfaces

The Switched PRO2 offers two built-in user interfaces:
Web interface (GUI) accessed via HTTP-enabled Ethernet connections.
Command Line Interface (CLI) for serial and Telnet connections.
Both interfaces allow power monitoring of PIPS/POPS data points, temperature/humidity measurements, system/network configuration, outlet control, ST Eye Bluetooth® connection, user account management, and numerous other operations for the Switched PRO2.
Either interface can be used as preferred; most firmware operations can be performed on GUI screens or by CLI commands on the command line. When using either interface, the availability of firmware functions for your user login account depends on your current user access rights as granted by the system administrator.

Usernames and Passwords

The Switched PRO2 is shipped with one default administrative user account (username/password is admn/admn). There is no “i” in the admn username or password.
Only an administrative user can manage user accounts, such as creating new user accounts, removing user accounts, and changing user passwords.
The PRO2 supports a maximum of 112 defined user accounts with the following restrictions:
User Account
Length
Case-Sensitive
Spaces Allowed
Usernames
1-32 characters
No
No
Passwords
1-32 characters
Yes
Yes
Note: For security, Server Technology recommends first creating a new user account with administrative
rights, and then removing the default admn account.

User Access Rights

The following table defines the user rights granted by the administrative user for access to PRO2 operations using either the Web GUI or the Command Line interface (CLI). Only the options for which the user has access rights will be available in the firmware for the user.
User Access Level
(highest to lowest)
Description
Administrator
Administrative user; full access for all configuration, user management, all outlet power control actions (On, Off, Reboot), status, and serial/pass-thru ports.
Power User
Full access for all outlet power control actions (On, Off, Reboot), status, and serial/pass-thru ports. Note: The Power User does not have access to user management.
User
Partial access for outlet power control actions (On, Off, Reboot), status, and pass-thru of assigned outlets, outlet groups, and serial/pass-thru ports.
Reboot-Only User
Partial access for outlet power control actions (Reboot), status, and pass-thru of assigned outlets, outlet groups, and serial/pass-thru ports.
On-Only User
Partial access for outlet power control actions (On), status, and pass-thru of assigned outlets, outlet groups, and serial/pass-thru ports.
View-Only User
Partial access for status and pass-thru of assigned outlets, outlet groups, and serial/pass-thru ports.
The administrative user can also grant administrative-level rights to other user accounts, allowing the PRO2 unit to have more than one administrative user.
Administrative access rights cannot be removed from the default admn user account until an administrative user grants administrative access rights to another user account.
To use administrative commands, the user must be granted administrative user access rights.

IPv4/IPv6 Support

Note: Throughout the Web and CLI firmware interfaces, both IPv4 and IPv6 formats are accepted
wherever a hostname or IP address is provided.
Server Technology uses IPv6 “dual stack” support in the firmware PRO2 product line. IPv6 has been designed to succeed IPv4 as the dominant communications protocol for internet traffic, to avoid depletions of the IPv4 address space, and to allow more IP address growth. Many devices already in use support IPv6.
IPv6 has several new operational methods:
Static IPv6 Address: The IPv6 equivalent of Static IPv4.
DHCPv6 Address: The IPv6 equivalent of a DHCP IPv4 address, also known as a “stateful” auto-
configuration of DHCPv6.
IPv6 Stateless Auto-Configured Address (RFC 4862): An automatically-generated unique link-local IPv6 address used for client based configurations. This address is always present in the Server Technology dual stack and cannot be disabled.
DHCPv6 Stateless Auto-Configured Address – (RFC 3736): A “stateless” Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service for IPv6 (DHCPv6). This address is used by nodes to obtain configuration information, such as addresses of DNS recursive name servers that do not require the maintenance of any dynamic state for individual clients.

Protocol Support for PRO2 Firmware

IPv6 and IPv4 Protocols:
The PRO2 firmware supports the following network IPv6 and IPv4 protocols:
DNS Ping
FTP (or SFTP) Server SNMPv1/2/3
FTP (or SFTP) Updates SNTP
HTTP or HTTPS
SMTP
Static IPv6 DHCPv6 (stateless and stateful)
Syslog SNMPv1/2/3 Traps
Telnet SSH
IPv4-Only Protocols:
The PRO2 firmware supports the following network IPv4-only protocols:
Cisco EnergyWise
LDAP
Load Shedding *
RADIUS *
TACACS+
* = may work with IPv6 addresses, but not tested.
Page 24
Switched PRO2 – User Guide
Getting Started with the Firmware 24

Network-Enabled Modes

Notes:
For all network-enabled modes described below, the PRO2 will set an auto-configured IPv6 address, and if IPv6 router announcements are active, a stateless DHCP IPv6 address will also be set. Further, in all network-enabled modes, at least one IPv4 or one IPv6 address will be active.
For maximum backward compatibility, the default network mode is “IPv4 only”.
Descriptions for the network-enabled modes:
Network disabled – No IPv4 or IPv6 addresses available.
IPv4 only, DHCP disabled (static IPv4) – If the IPv4 Static Address and Net Mask of the PRO2 are valid,
they will be set.
IPv4 only, DHCP enabled (DHCP IPv4) – The PRO2 will try to resolve an IPv4 DHCP address. If a DHCP
address cannot be obtained after 90 seconds, the PRO2 can: (1) optionally fall back to its static IPv4 settings, or (2) indefinitely wait to acquire an address based on DHCP configuration settings. This setting
is the default.
Dual IPv6/IPv4, DHCP disabled (static IPv6/IPv4) If the IPv6 Static Address and prefix of the PRO2 are valid, they will be set. Otherwise, the PRO2 will attempt to use DHCPv6 to obtain an IPv6 address. In addition, if the IPv4 Static Address and Net Mask of the PRO2 are valid, they will be set.
Dual IPv6/IPv4, DHCP enabled (DHCP IPv6/IPv4) The PRO2 will try to resolve both its IPv6 and IPv4 addresses by DHCP. If both DHCP requests are answered, the primary DNS server of the PRO2 will become the primary IPv6 DNS server, and the secondary DNS server of the PRO2 will become the primary IPv4 DNS server. If only one of the DHCP requests is answered, the DNS servers of the PRO2 will map to the primary and secondary DNS server from that request. If a DHCP address cannot be obtained after 90 seconds, the PRO2 can: (1) optionally fall back to its static IPv4 and/or IPv6 settings, or (2) indefinitely wait to acquire an address based on DHCP configuration settings.

Chapter 4: Using the Web Interface

This chapter shows how to work with the firmware GUI (version 8.0x or later) for the PRO2.

Logging In

Logging into the Web interface directs the Web client to the configured IP address of the Switched unit.
To login by Web interface
In the firmware login window, provide a valid username and password, and click OK. If you enter an invalid username or password, you will be prompted again. You are given three attempts for a valid username/password combination, after which the session ends and a
protected page will be displayed
Note: The default firmware username/password is admn/admn. There is no “i” in admn.

Quick Tour of the GUI

The web interface provides web-based access to the firmware for the Switched unit. The interface is designed with three major screen sections shown in the following screen example:
1. System Header: Displays PRO2 description/location, IP address, and user/access level.
2. Navigation Bar: Provides access to PRO2 power monitoring, control actions, and configuration.
3. Details Window: Shows control/status information based on option selected in navigation bar.
Example of PRO2 Firmware Web Interface: Overview > System Page
Note: The optional blinking PRO2 location string (IP address) in the System Header may not work with all web
browsers.

Summary of the GUI Options

Overview
The Overview > System option is the first stop for high-level and fast monitoring of major PRO2 operational areas. The page displays a quick view of color-coded icons showing current status of the units, cords, branches, lines, phases, sensors. Click an icon for the related monitoring page to view the metrics behind the status.
The System page also shows color-coded graphs for the operational status of line current and temperature/humidity sensor readings.
General system information displays on the page to show firmware version in use, uptime data, Ethernet NIC serial number, and current number of active users.
The System page dynamically updates status and threshold values with a full-screen refresh to reflect the latest PRO2 details for instant assessment and response.
Monitoring
The Monitoring option provides viewing of dynamically updated metrics for the PRO2 operational areas that have the highest power impact on the unit and the data center.
The design of the GUI monitoring pages follows the major areas in the hardware architecture of the PRO2, providing a separate and detailed page for the overall status of units, cords, lines, OCPs, branches, outlets, groups, and sensors.
Each system object for which a threshold can be configured – such as line current and phase voltage – has a corresponding monitor page that displays up-to-the-minute power metrics.
Many metrics are presented on the pages in color-coded graphs for at-a-glance monitoring. A regular full-page refresh dynamically updates theses details to reflect the current condition of the PRO2, providing the opportunity for instant assessment and fast response to critical system issues.
Control
The Control option allows the issuing of control actions On, Off, and Reboot for all PRO2 individual outlets, global outlets, and named outlet groups.
Outlet details are also available by individual outlet to provide the outlet’s general identification, socket type, capacity, operational state, power factor, as well as color-coded graphs for current and power.
A PRO2 unit with Per Outlet Power Sensing (POPS) technology will also display values for current capacity used and reactance.
Configuration
The Configuration option allows administrative access to all options for setting PRO2 values. The pages are organized into three major areas of configuration:
System (options for PRO2 hardware areas)
Network (options for setting up network protocols)
Access (options for local/remote user access and management)
Page 29
Switched PRO2 – User Guide
Using the Web Interface 29
Network
The Network option provides network setup options for the protocols supported by PRO2: DHCP/IP, Email/SMTP, FTP/SFTP, HTTP/HTTPS, LDAP, RADIUS, SNMP, SNTP, Syslog, TACACS+, and Telnet/SSH. The Network option only allows the administrator to set up network protocol parameters. To configure how the PRO2 user uses the network and system, see the Access option.
Access
The Access option determines how a PRO2 user works with the network and system by configuring the options related to a user: authentication, privilege levels, user access to the unit, and additional functions for individual local users and user groups. The Access option only allows the administrator to determine how the PRO2 user uses the network and system. To set up network protocol parameters, use the Network option.
Tools
The Tools option is a collection of several utility options for miscellaneous system actions: changing user password, pinging other network devices, viewing the system/debug log, and uploading new firmware versions. Also included are several options for rebooting the PRO2, resetting the PRO2 to factory defaults, and restarting the PRO2 with user preferences.

Overview (Viewing the System Dashboard)

The System page of the Web interface is the first stop for high-level and fast monitoring of major PRO2 operational areas. The page displays a quick view of color-coded icons showing current status of the units, cords, branches, lines, phases, sensors. Click an icon for the related monitoring page to view the metrics behind the status.
The System page also shows color-coded graphs for the operational status of line current and temperature/humidity sensor readings.
General system information displays on the page to firmware version in use, uptime data, Ethernet NIC serial number, and current number of active users.
The System page dynamically updates status and threshold values with a full-screen refresh to reflect the latest PRO2 details for instant assessment and response.

How to Read the Metrics

The color-coded status icons and graphs on the System page update dynamically (normal-green, warning-yellow, critical-red) with the latest metrics of the unit, line status, and temperature/humidity sensor status.

About Auto-Scaling

The displayed graphs reflect the internal function of auto-scaling. This means that if the threshold range of values changes for the graph, the graph will auto-scale to the appropriate range, allowing the graphs to still present relevant and consistent information.
What To Look For
The dynamic performance of the System page is essential for monitoring new PRO2 installation or watching for power distribution changes in hi-density environments. High-level status information on the System page gives the chance to correct of an operating condition before it affects the entire device network.
System administrators and power users can also view the System graphs to quickly identify thermal and humidity issues that might otherwise escalate to infrastructure repairs if left unchecked.
The sub-system icons across the page match the left-pane Monitoring options. Click either the icon name or select a monitoring option to display the related monitoring page.

Overview > System Page Definitions

The System page uses the following fields and definitions:
Field
Description
ID
System-assigned internal name that cannot be changed.
Name
User-defined descriptive name for each line or temperature/humidity sensor.
Current, Temp, Humidity
Current state of the reported input load (in amps), current temperature (temperature scale C F, as configured), or current percent of relative humidity (%RH).
Low Limit
User-defined low limit of the load, temperature, or humidity graph. These values depend on the sensor limitation and cannot be set by the user. For example, a 0ºC low limit would be displayed as 0 for a temperature sensor graph in Celsius.
High Limit
Displays the high limit of the load, temperature, or humidity graph. For the temperature/humidity sensors, these values depend on the physical sensor limits and cannot be set by the user. For example, a 100ºC high limit would be displayed as 100 in the high limit in a (Celsius) temperature sensor graph.
Sensor Graph and Level Indicator
The horizontal sensor graph shows current operating conditions with color-coded icons, described in the following table, Status Icons and Descriptions”. The level indicator
appears in the graph to indicate relative position of the current data value with respect to the minimum (low limit) and maximum (high limit) values displayed at the left end and right end of the graph.

Status Icons and Descriptions

The System page uses the following icons to report current operating conditions:
Icon
Status
Description
Reading
Unit is reading a new or restored sensor.
Normal
Normal operation.
Low/High Warning
Current value outside user-configured threshold range.
Low/High Alarm
Current value outside user-configured threshold range.
Lost

Sensor Graph Color-Coding

The sensor graph colors change dynamically to communicate operating conditions:
For Line (Load) Status:
Green = Normal Yellow = low warning/high warning (threshold configured by user) Red = low alarm/high alarm (threshold configured by user) Configure line current thresholds and threshold hysteresis at Configuration > System > Lines.
For Temperature Status:
Violet = coldest; low alarm (threshold configured by user) Blue = cold; low warning (threshold configured by user) Green = acceptable temperature range Yellow – warm; high warning (threshold configured by user) Red = hot; high alarm (threshold configured by user) Configure low/high temperature thresholds and threshold hysteresis at Configuration > System > Sensors.
For Humidity Status:
Violet = wettest; high alarm (threshold configured by user) Blue = wet; high warning (threshold configured by user) Green = acceptable percentage of relative humidity Yellow = dry; low warning (threshold configured by user) Red = driest; low alarm (threshold configured by user) Configure low/high temperature thresholds and hysteresis at Configuration > System > Sensors.

System Information

This section of the Summary page provides general information:

Monitoring (Analyzing Metrics)

The Monitoring section of the Web interface provides viewing of dynamically updated metrics for the PRO2 operational areas that have the highest power impact on the unit and the data center.
The design of the GUI monitoring pages follows the major areas in the hardware architecture of the PRO2, providing a separate and detailed page for the overall status of units, cords, lines, OCPs, branches, outlets, groups, and sensors.
Each system object for which a threshold can be configured – such as line current and phase voltage – has a corresponding monitor page that displays up-to-the-minute power metrics.
Many metrics are presented on the pages in color-coded graphs for at-a-glance monitoring. A regular full-page refresh dynamically updates theses details to reflect the current condition of the PRO2, providing the opportunity for instant assessment and fast response to critical system issues.

Monitoring > Units

The Units page is a high-level quick reference for the PRO2 units in the network, identifying the connected master/link units (and any connected external monitoring devices), the current LED display orientation of the PRO2 units, and the overall current operational status of all units and devices.
What to look for:
The operating status of all units (master and link) should be Normal (green). The Status field reports the overall health of the units and their connectivity, not an exceeded user-defined threshold. Depending on a yellow or red status message, basic troubleshooting will be needed to determine the best solution for the affected unit.
Page 35
Switched PRO2 – User Guide
Using the Web Interface 35

Monitoring > Cords

The Cords page displays cord hardware specifications, overall operational status of each cord, and individual color-coded graphs and status for cord active power (W), cord apparent power (VA), power factor (if present), and cord 3-phase out-of-balance level (%).
Note: The inlet type, frequency, power capacity, and energy rating of the cord were determined for the PRO2
product at factory assembly and cannot be user-edited.
What to look for:
The cord power graphs display a blinking warning (yellow) when the total input load exceeds the user-defined threshold. If an overload occurs, a blinking error condition (red) is displayed. The unit continues to display yellow and red states until the condition changes or the issue has been resolved.
The default input feed high load threshold is 80% of the input feed maximum load capacity. Cord power thresholds are user-defined at Configuration > System > Cords.
Page 36
Switched PRO2 – User Guide
Using the Web Interface 36

Monitoring > Lines

The Lines page shows overall line operational status, line load capacity, line state, and a color-coded graphic for the current used by each line.
What to look for: The line status and line current status should be Normal, and the line current should be operating within defined
thresholds. The line current graph displays a blinking warning (yellow) when the total input load on an infeed exceeds the user-
defined threshold. If an overload occurs, a blinking error condition (red) is displayed. The unit continues to display yellow and red states until the condition changes or the issue has been resolved.
The default input feed high load threshold is 80% of the input feed maximum load capacity. The line current thresholds are user-defined at Configuration > System > Lines.
Page 37
Switched PRO2 – User Guide
Using the Web Interface 37
Monitoring > Phases
The Phases page reports the current phase status, voltage, and power factor.
What to look for:
The phase status, voltage status, and phase power factor should be Normal, and the phase voltage and power factor should be operating within defined thresholds.
The phase voltage graph displays a blinking warning (yellow) when the total input load on an infeed exceeds the user-defined set threshold. If an overload occurs, a blinking error condition (red) is displayed.
The unit continues to display yellow and red states until the condition changes or the issue has been resolved. The same color-coding applies to the phase power factor graph if the threshold is exceeded.
The default input feed high load threshold is 80% of the input feed maximum load capacity. Phase voltage and power factor thresholds are user-defined at Configuration > System > Phases.
Page 38
Switched PRO2 – User Guide
Using the Web Interface 38

Monitoring > Over-Current Protectors

The Over-Current Protectors (OCPs) page displays the current status, type, and current capacity (A) for any OCPs connected to the PRO2 unit. If there are no OCPs on the unit, the OCP monitoring page will not be available.
What to look for:
The operating status of all OCPs listed should be Normal.
Page 39
Switched PRO2 – User Guide
Using the Web Interface 39

Monitoring > Branches

The Branches page displays branch status that supports the standard Branch Current Monitoring feature of the PRO2. Branch Current Monitoring allows the configuration of thresholds on the branch circuit to provide notification before a breaker trips. Displayed on the page are branch current (A), percentage of current utilized, and threshold status.
Note: The PRO2 allows the capability to load-shed based on branch current status.
What to look for:
Branch names are set internally on the PRO2 at factory assembly and cannot be changed. Branch operations status should be Normal and branch current should be within defined thresholds. Branch threshold range values are affected by changing the current capacity of an over-current protector (OCP).
The branch status and branch current status displays a blinking warning (yellow) and red (error condition) when a branch exceeds the user-defined thresholds. The branch continues to display yellow and red states until the condition changes or the issue has been resolved.
Branch current thresholds are user-defined at Configuration > System > Branches.

Switched PRO2 – User Guide
Using the Web Interface 40

Monitoring > Outlets

The Outlets page lists the outlets in the PRO2 unit with a quick overview of general outlet information, including operational status based on user-configured thresholds for current, active power, and power factor.
Also displayed are the last user action (on, off, reboot) issued on the outlet (shown in the State column), and the outlet’s last reported condition (shown in the Control State column).
The page allows a fast drill-down from the ID link for more operational data about a specific outlet in the list.
What to look for:
The operating status of all outlets should be Normal. If necessary, view operational details for an outlet. The ID and socket type are determined at factory assembly and cannot be user-configured.
Each outlet has a unique number, and the numbering sequence of outlets is not associated with the PRO2’s branch
or phase number. For example, a 30-outlet PRO2 unit (either single-phase or 3-phase) unit will have outlet numbers sequenced from 1 to 30.
The outlet status displays a blinking warning (yellow) and red (error condition) when an outlet exceeds the user­defined thresholds. The status continues to display yellow and red states until the condition changes or the issue has been resolved.
A descriptive text outlet name can be configured at Configuration > System > Outlets.

System > Files

The Files page provides a separate embedded file system to give quick access to system configuration files directly from the
PRO2 GUI page, as well as the on-board and downloadable Sentry4-MIB and OID Tree for the PRO2, eliminating website MIB/OID downloads.
Note: CDU products continue to use the current Sentry3-MIB. The new Sentry4-MIB and its new OID tree are designed
exclusively for the PRO2 products.
The page also allows GUI-based file uploads (without FTP) for system, configuration, and firmware versions. However, all PRO2 configuration/system files, MIB, and OID Tree can also be accessed via FTP at Configuration > Network > FTP.
Note: There is no CLI equivalent function for the GUI Configuration > System > Files page.
Uploading Files
Simple file upload without the need for FTP. Upload a firmware version or specific system configuration file by browsing and selecting the file in the Upload File field, and clicking Upload. A confirmation message displays to indicate the upload was successful and the system will require a restart.

sentry4.mib
For SNMP network monitoring, values from the PRO2 are reported using the new Sentry4-MIB. (Note that earlier PDU products continue to use the current Sentry3-MIB). The new Sentry4-MIB and its new OID tree are designed exclusively for PRO2 products.
Reported MIB objects in the PRO2 Sentry4-MIB are identified with a new “st4” prefix as part of the object name. You may be familiar with MIB objects for the PDU, for example, outletWakeupState. However, when the SNMP
monitoring system displays a value for the MIB object name, st4outletWakeupState, based on the “st4” prefix in the
name, you will recognize that the reported value is coming from a PRO2 unit, not from an earlier PDU product. The Sentry4-MIB and OID tree for the PRO2 can be accessed on-board in the GUI via Configuration > System >
Files, or accessed by using the Server Technology FTP site the same way as with the Sentry3-MIB and OID tree for the earlier PDU products.

System > Shutdown

The Shutdown page configures the remote shutdown options for outlets (for Switched PRO2 products only). The PRO2 supports the ability to initiate an orderly shutdown of a specific outlet or outlet group after performing a
user-specified shutdown operation. The shutdown also protects open application files prior to a server being powered down. Shutdown signaling is
initiated over the existing TCP/IP network and requires the use of a remote shutdown agent.
To configure shutdown settings:
1. For an individual outlet in the list, type the desired Shutdown/Delay for the outlet (in seconds), or
accept the 90-second default, and check the corresponding checkbox. The shutdown/delay sets the time to wait after the shutdown notification before changing outlet state; range is 1-900 seconds; default is 90 seconds.
2. For an individual outlet in the list, type the desired Script/Delay for the outlet (in minutes) to set the time
to wait after the script has executed to change outlet state, and check the corresponding checkbox; range is 1-15 minutes; default is 1 minute.
3. Provide the hostname/IP address for the target server.
4. Click Apply.
About the Remote Shutdown Feature
When the Remote Shutdown Agent is installed on the server and the Shutdown feature is configured on the PRO2, the following shutdown process occurs:
1. The Off or Reboot command is received by the PRO2.
2. Shutdown signal is sent to the Remote Shutdown Agent on the target server.
3. The Remote Shutdown Agent initiates a systematic shutdown of the target server for all actions that
remove power from the outlet (such as the Off and Reboot commands), and allows the execution of user-defined scripts to perform custom activities, like safely shutting down open databases.
4. The PRO2 removes power from the outlet.

System > Trending

The Trending page generates a report (and related source data sets) of measured system trends over a 7-day period, with the range of each day from midnight to midnight. The trend data in the report is for viewing and analysis only – no actions occur automatically based on the data.
Each time a measurement is taken on the PRO2 unit, the measurement is aggregated into the metrics for the current day. The aggregation process includes updating the maximum and minimum values for each measurement, as well as updating the average with the new measurement.
To activate the trending feature:
1. Check the Enable checkbox.
2. Click Apply. The page automatically displays generated .csv trend report files, along with related source
data sets, for viewing.
System Requirements for Trending
Firmware, version 8.0x or later.
SNTP must be enabled (to keep track of when the daily measurements are taken).

What Data Does Trending Measure?
REQUIREMENTS
For the Trending feature to occur and display (for viewing only) on the PRO2 GUI at System > Trending, SNTP must be enabled to keep track of when daily measurements are taken.
Certain measurements for PIPS and POPS (if POPS is present) are tracked by the Trending feature: For all PIPS cords/phases/lines, the following measurements are tracked:
Phase voltage
Line current
Cord watts
Cord power factor
WHAT IS MEASURED?
For all POPS outlets, the following measurements are tracked:
Current
Watts
Power factor
ADDITIONAL TRACKED METRICS
For all of the above PIPS/POPS measurements, the following metrics will also be tracked:
Minimum measurement
Maximum measurement
“In-use average” measurement
Note: PIPS is a standard feature on all PRO2 units, but if the unit does not have POPS, then only the PIPS measurements will be tracked.

How Does the Trending Feature Work?
Each time a measurement is taken on the PRO2 unit, the measurement is aggregated into the metrics for the current day. The aggregation process includes updating the maximum and minimum values for each measurement, as well as updating the average with the new measurement.
Any measurements that have no current or are turned off will not be aggregated; this means the “in-use average” metric will be the reported metric.
Each day’s worth of data will be stored in flash memory with a timestamp for use in generating a trending report. Only data from the last 8 days is kept. The report is not stored in flash memory but is regenerated into RAM after a system reboot.
If there is no data set that is 8 days old (1 week ago) for comparison, the trending data will indicate 100% increase for all reported trending data.
If the system is updated or units are moved/changed/removed/added, all trending will be restarted. In the event of communication loss to link units, trending data will not be lost.

About the Trending Report
The report (and the data sets the report is generated from) are all stored separately.
The report is created at midnight.
The report contains the percent change of the average, maximum, and minimum measurements of the day
compared to the daily metrics from the same day on the previous week (7 days ago).
The data set contains the actual values that the report was generated from: the average, maximum, and minimum for the day
Example of Line source data set
Example of Line trend report
Accessing and Distributing the Trend Report and Data Sets
The report (and the individual data sets the report is generated from) are available at all times at Configuration > System > Trending as comma delimited text files (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SFTP interfaces).
The file format name of the report and data sets is “STI-trend-(object)-yymmdd-macaddress.csv”. Optionally, after the report is generated, the report (and the most recent 24-hour period of data in a data set file)
can be sent as an attachment to the primary and secondary “send to” email addresses.

2. IPv4 Subnet Mask: If IPv4 is used, supply the IP address for the subnet mask in IPv4 format.
3. Primary/Secondary DNS: Provide the IP address for the primary and secondary DNS hostnames.
To configure DHCP settings:
1. DHCP: Check (or uncheck) Enable to enable/disable DHCP support.
2. FQDN: Provide the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) name and check Enable.
3. Boot Delay: Check (or uncheck) the Enable checkbox to enable/disable the Boot Delay option with the
following results:
Enable: The Boot Delay option gives the PRO2 approximately 100-seconds to establish a connection through a DHCP server. The interval allows various network component activities to occur as the PRO2 powers up (such as obtaining SNTP time stamps for logging).
Disable: (Default) The Boot Delay option forces the PRO2 to boot after approximately 5-seconds regardless of the DHCP acquisition state. This speeds up a boot when a DHCP server is connected to one of the outlets in the PRO2. In this configuration, SNMP traps, SNTP, and other protocols will not be available until a DHCP address has been resolved.
Notes:
The Boot Delay option executes only when DHCP is enabled.
The firmware can detect network link integrity and will wait for network connection. This means that if the network is not currently connected, the enabled Boot Delay option will be ignored.
4. Static Address Fallback: Check (or uncheck) the Enable checkbox to enable/disable the Static Address Fallback option with the following results:
Enable: The Static Address Fallback option informs the PRO2 to automatically fall back to a static address if a DHCP server does not respond after 90-seconds.
Disable: (Default) The Static Address Fallback option generates DHCP server requests until the PRO2 obtains a dynamic address.
Notes:
The Static Address Fallback option executes only when DHCP is enabled.
If the DHCP server boot time is excessive, you may need to disable the DHCP Static Address Fallback option.
The DHCP Static Address Failback option does not apply when WLAN is enabled.
