permanently attached to the rear of the PDU
(120V models).

IEC-320-C14 inlet is used for the primary input
of the 230V model.

The Secondary input cord is detachable and
connects to the IEC power inlet

2.2.1

at the rear
of the PDU (PDUMH15AT, PDUMH15ATNET ­IEC-320-C14 inlet; PDUMH20AT,
PDUMH20ATNET, PDUMH20HVAT,
PDUMH20HVATNET - IEC-320-C20 inlet).

2.2.2 To connect the Secondary input cord:

Form a loop in the Secondary cord 1.

A

and
secure the juncture of that loop to the Primary
cord B with a zip tie. Be sure the zip tie is
secured around the Secondary and Primary
cords, as well as through the loop created in
the Secondary cord C. (See diagram). Note:

Give the cord as much slack as possible
between the loop and the cord’s outlet.

On Models PDUMH20HVAT and 2.
PDUMH20HVATNET, both cords should be
tied to the Cable Retention Tray. (See
diagram).

Once you’ve secured the two cords together 3.
and ensured that the Secondary cord has a
comfortable amount of slack, insert the
Secondary cord outlet into the IEC power inlet.

2.2.3 Connect Input Plug Adapters (Optional

- Models PDUMH20AT, PDUMH20ATNET
Only): The PDU includes two adapters that

convert one or both of the L5-20P input plugs to
5-20P input plugs. Connecting the adapters is
optional. The PDU will function normally without
connecting the adapters.

2.2.4 Connect Secondary Input Cord to PDU:

Although the PDU will operate without
connecting the Secondary input cord, the
Secondary input is required for the PDU's
Automatic Transfer Switch function.

2.2.5 C19-C20 Cables (optional: Models

PDUMH20HVAT and PDUMH20HVATNET

)

2.2.6 Connect PDU Input Plugs: (See the

Configuration and Operation section for more
information.) Connect the Primary input plug A to a
preferred source of grounded 120V/230V AC power,
such as a SmartOnline™ UPS System. The UPS
system must not share a circuit with a heavy
electrical load (such as an air conditioner or
refrigerator). Under normal operating conditions,
the PDU will distribute AC power from the Primary
input source. Connect the Secondary input plug B
to an alternative source of grounded 120V/230V AC
power, such as a redundant SmartOnline UPS
System. The UPS system must not share a circuit
with a heavy electrical load (such as an air
conditioner or refrigerator). Do not plug the
Secondary input into the same power source as the
Primary input. The PDU will distribute AC power
from the Secondary input only if the Primary input
becomes unavailable.

Note: Immediately after the PDU is connected to live AC
power, you may notice a series of soft clicking sounds emitted by
electrical relays within the PDU. The relays may also click
occasionally during the operation of the PDU. This is normal.

2.2.7 Selecting Input Voltage Range (optional:

Models PDUMH20HVAT &
PDUMNH20HVATNET only): This model has two

selectable nominal input voltage ranges: 200V-208V
(“LO”) and 220V-240V (“HI”). Press the switch
next to the display to toggle the nominal voltage
setting to the desired “HI” or “LO” range. This
setting adjusts the voltage ranges for the primary
and secondary inputs. The display will indicate “HI”
or “LO” for five seconds.

2.2.8 Connect Equipment to PDU: Do not

exceed the load rating of the PDU. The total
electrical current used by the PDU will be displayed
on the digital meter in amperes. Each outlet includes
a green LED that illuminates when the outlet is
receiving AC power.

Locate MAC Address: The 12-digit MAC address (000667xxxxxx) is printed in two locations: a label
attached to the underside of the card and a duplicate label inside the box. Attach the duplicate label to the
UPS system or keep it in a secure location for easy reference.

Determine Installation Method: If your network's DHCP server will assign a dynamic IP address to the
SNMPWEBCARD automatically, proceed to Dynamic IP Address Assignment. If you will assign a static
IP address to the SNMPWEBCARD manually, proceed to Static IP Address Assignment. If you are
uncertain which method to use, contact your network administrator for assistance before continuing the
installation process.

2.3 Networking the PDU

2.3.1 Preparation

2.3.2 Dynamic IP Address Assignment

Connect SNMPWEBCARD to Network: Connect a standard Ethernet patch cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet
port on the card. Note: This port does not support PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications. The card will
attempt to obtain an IP address via DHCP. This may take as long as several minutes, depending on your
network environment.

Discover IP Address: Contact your network administrator to determine which IP address has been
assigned to the card by the DHCP server. The card can be identified on the DHCP server by referring to
its MAC address (see Step 1-3). You may wish to request a long-term lease period for the IP address,
depending on your application. After you have discovered the IP address, proceed to 4 -Test and

Configure. Note: The DHCP address is also displayed during boot-up when connected to a computer
through the configuration cable and a terminal emulation program.

IP Address Display (Model PDUMH20HVATNET): Press and hold the switch to display the IP address
of the SNMP card in the PDU.

2.3.3 Static IP Address Assignment/Terminal Menu Configuration Settings

Determine IP Information: Before assigning a static IP address, you'll need to know the IP address,
gateway address and subnet mask. If you do not have this information, contact your network administrator
for assistance.

Configure Terminal Emulation Program: Open a VT100-compatible
terminal emulation program (such as the HyperTerminal program
bundled with Microsoft® Windows®) on a computer with an available
DB9 serial port. (A notebook computer may be the most convenient
choice.) Set the terminal emulation program to use the COM port A
that corresponds to the DB9 serial port. Specify the parameters B
required to communicate with the SNMPWEBCARD terminal interface:

If the terminal emulation program supports multiple emulation modes, you may also need to specify
VT100 emulation C.

Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None

Note: The following message will appear in the terminal startup menu: IAM:Got AUTO-CONFIGURED IPv6 address E80::4200:FF:FE01:8
on interface eth0:3 IPv6 is not currently supported. Tripp Lite is working on IPv6 for a future release.

Connect SNMPWEBCARD to Computer: Use
the mini-DIN to DB9 serial cable (part number
73-1025) included with the card to connect the
card to the computer. The circular connector A at
one end of the cable attaches to the 8-pin
mini-DIN serial port B on the card. (Align the
connector carefully to avoid damaging the pins.)
The DB9 connector C at the other end of the
cable connects to the computer's serial port D.

Connect SNMPWEBCARD to Network:

Connect a standard Ethernet patch cable to the
RJ-45 Ethernet port A on the card.

Note: This port does not support PoE (Power over Ethernet)
applications.

On PDUMH20HVATNET, connection is on the reverse side.

and ensured that the Secondary cord has a comfortable amount of slack,
insert the Secondary cord outlet into the IEC power inlet.

Warning: DO NOT connect the primary input
to a line-interactive UPS, due to transfer time
issues, or to any source that does not supply a
pure sine wave. Such sources may be used to
power the secondary input.

4. Configuration and Operation

4.1 Automatic Transfer Switch

4.1.1 Preferred Configuration

When the Primary and Secondary inputs are both connected to Tripp Lite UPS Systems, the PDU
operates as an Automatic Transfer Switch, providing redundant input power for high availability
applications. Under normal operating conditions, the PDU will distribute power from the Primary input
source, switching to the Secondary input source under certain conditions. The PDU will switch to the
Primary source whenever it is Good according to the PDU input voltage definitions (see below).

The Automatic Transfer Switch function provides
increased availability when the Primary and
Secondary inputs of the PDU are connected to
separate Tripp Lite UPS Systems that are
connected to separate utility power sources. For
maximum availability, Tripp Lite recommends
using matching SmartOnline UPS Systems with
pure sine wave output for the Primary and
Secondary input power sources. The automatic
transfer switch function will be compromised if the
primary and secondary inputs are connected to the
same utility power source.

After installing the PDU and connecting
equipment, you may test the Automatic Transfer
Switch function by temporarily shutting down the
UPS system connected to the Primary AC input. When
the Primary input UPS is no longer supplying AC
power, the PDU will switch from the Primary input to
the Secondary input, and the Secondary input LED
will illuminate. When the Primary input UPS has been
restarted and resumes supplying AC power, the PDU
will switch back to the Primary input.

Note: The primary and secondary inputs must be connected to separate
sources of utility power. The automatic transfer switch function will be
compromised if the primary and secondary inputs are connected to the
same utility power source. Do not perform a test with equipment that
must remain in productive operation. Any test procedure must prepare
for the contingency that the equipment may lose power. Do not test the
PDU by detaching power cords which are connected to live power
sources, as this eliminates the connection to ground and places your
equipment at risk.

Secondary Input Active

The PDU provides remote monitoring, outlet control and more via Web browser, telnet and SNMP-based
Network Management Systems. For more information about configuration and operation of the PDU via
the PowerAlert Web browser interface, refer to the SNMPWEBCARD User's Guide, included on the
CD-ROM bundled with the PDU.

Load "Ramping" on Startup: All models arrive from the factory programmed so that, when first
powered up, their outlets turn on in sequential order at intervals of approximately 250 ms. This prevents
circuit overloads by staggering the startup of multiple devices. Models PDUMH15ATNET,
PDUMH20ATNET and PDUMH20HVATNET support user-programmable startup of outlets, in any
order or time interval. This ensures that network items are turned on in the proper sequence, with the
appropriate delay, so that network items are reliably discovered on startup.

Programmable Load "Shedding" During a Power Failure: In the event that the primary power source
fails and the PDU is relying on the secondary power source, load shedding allows you to program the
shutoff of specific outlets at timed intervals. This enables you to turn off less critical loads (monitors, for
example) to maximize the UPS runtime for the most critical items.

)

4.1.3 Quick Test

The PDU will power up if one of the input sources is greater than the minimum startup voltage. In normal
operation (after power-up), if the presently selected source (primary or secondary) degrades to a lesser
condition, the unit should switch to the alternate source, if that source is of better quality. The unit
prefers the primary source, and will always switch to it in the event that both sources are of the same
(fair or good) quality. If the present source is becoming bad and the alternate source is at least fair, the
unit will switch to the alternate source.
