1. Introduction

WTI’s RSM-8R series Remote Site Manager + Power Control units allow secure, remote monitoring and management of AC powered rack mount equipment via SSL, SSH, SNMP, web browser, telnet, internal modem or local terminal. The RSM-8R allows you to connect to console ports on rack mounted devices, switch and reboot power, monitor equipment temperature and can automatically notify you when changes in temperature or response to ping commands exceeds user-defined threshold values.

Security and Co-Location Features:

Secure Shell (SSHv2) encryption and address-specific IP security masks help to prevent unauthorized access to command and configuration functions.

The RSM-8R also provides four different levels of security for user accounts: Administrator, SuperUser, User and ViewOnly. The Administrator level provides complete access to all serial port and switched plug functions, status displays and configuration menus. The SuperUser level allows control of serial ports and plugs, but does not allow access to configuration functions. The User level allows access to only a select group of Administrator-defined serial ports and plugs. The ViewOnly level allows you to check unit status, but does not allow control of serial ports or switched outlets or access to configuration menus.

The RSM-8R includes full Radius, LDAP and TACACS capability, DHCP and an invalid access lockout feature. An Audit Log records all user access, login and logout times and command actions, and an Alarm Log records user-defined alarm events.

Environmental Monitoring and Management:

The RSM-8R can constantly monitor temperature levels, ping response and other factors. If the RSM-8R detects that user defined thresholds for these values have been exceeded, the unit can promptly notify you via email, SNMP, or Syslog. When temperature readings exceed user-defined critical values, the RSM-8R can also intelligently decrease the amount of heat being generated within the rack by temporarily shutting down nonessential devices; when readings return to acceptable levels, the RSM-8R can restore power to those devices to return to normal operating conditions. The RSM-8R also records temperature readings to a convenient log file.

If you need to switch power to rack mount devices at a specific time of the day or week, the RSM-8R also includes a Scheduled Power Management feature, that allows you to define a daily or weekly schedule for switching each outlet off or on, or even rebooting that outlet.

The RSM-8R can also notify you when excessive invalid access attempts are detected, and can automatically lock ports when it determines that an unauthorized user may be attempting to gain access by "hammering" the unit with random passwords.

This section describes the basic configuration procedure for all RSM-8R units. For more information on Reboot Options and Alarm Configuration, please refer to Section 6 and Section 7.

5.1. Communicating with the RSM-8R Unit

In order to configure the RSM-8R, you must first connect to the unit, and access command mode. Note that, the RSM-8R offers two separate configuration interfaces; the Web Browser Interface and the Text Interface.

In addition, the RSM-8R also offers three different methods for accessing command mode; via network, via modem, or via local console. The Web Browser interface is only available via network, and the Text Interface is available via network (SSH or Telnet), modem or local PC.

5.1.1. The Text Interface

The Text Interface (also known as the "Command Line Interface" or "CLI") consists of a series of simple ASCII text menus, which allow you to set options and define parameters by entering the number for the desired option using your keyboard, and then typing in the value for that option.

Since the Web Browser Interface and Telnet accessibility are both disabled in the default state, you will need to use the Text Interface to contact the unit via Local PC or SSH connection when setting up the unit for the first time. After you have accessed command mode using the Text Interface, you can then enable Web Access and Telnet Access, if desired, in order to allow future communication with the unit via Web Browser or Telnet. You will not be able to contact the unit via Web Browser or Telnet until you have enabled those options.

Once Telnet Access is enabled, you will then be able to use the Text Interface to communicate with the RSM-8R via local PC, Telnet or SSH connection. You can also use the Text Interface to access command mode via an external modem installed at one of the RSM-8R's serial ports.

In order to use the Text Interface, your installation must include:

• AccessviaNetwork: The RSM-8R must be connected to your TCP/IP Network, and your PC must include a communications program (such as HyperTerminal.)

• AccessviaModem: A phone line must be connected to the RSM-8R's internal modem. In addition, your PC must include a communications program.

• AccessviaLocalPC: Your PC must be connected to an RSM-8R Serial Port, the Serial Port must be configured for Any-to-Any Mode, and your PC must include a communications program. Serial Port 1 is designated as a Set Up Port, and by default, is configured for communication with a local control device.

5-1

Basic Configuration

To access command mode via the Text Interface, proceed as follows:

Note: When communicating with the unit for the first time, you will not be able to contact the unit via Telnet until you have accessed command mode, via Local PC or SSH Client, and used the Network Parameters Menu to enable Telnet as described in Section 5.9.

1. Contact the RSM-8R Unit:

a) ViaLocalPC: Start your communications program and press [Enter]. Wait

for the connect message, then proceed to Step 2.

b) ViaNetwork: The RSM-8R includes a default IP address (192.168.168.168)

and a default subnet mask (255.255.255.0.) This allows you to contact the unit from any network node on the same subnet, without first assigning an IP Address to the unit. For more information, please refer to Section 5.9.

i. ViaSSHClient: Start your SSH client, and enter the RSM-8R’s IP

Address. Invoke the connect command, wait for the connect message, then proceed to Step 2.

ii. ViaTelnet: Start your Telnet Client, and then Telnet to the RSM-8R’s IP

Address. Wait for the connect message, then proceed to Step 2.

c) ViaModem: Use your communications program to dial the number for the

phone line that you have connected to the RSM-8R's internal modem port.

2. Login/PasswordPrompt: A message will be displayed, which prompts you to enter a username (login name) and password. The default username is "super" (all lower case, no quotes), and the default password is also "super".

3. If a valid username and password are entered, the RSM-8R will display the Port and Plug Status Screen.

5.1.2. The Web Browser Interface

The Web Browser Interface consists of a series of web forms, which can be used to select configuration parameters and perform reboot operations, by clicking on radio buttons and/or entering text into designated fields.

Note: In order to use the Web Browser Interface, Web Access must first be enabled via the Text Interface Network Parameters Menu (/N), the RSM-8R must be connected to a TCP/IP network, and your PC must be equipped with a JavaScript enabled web browser.

1. Start your JavaScript enabled Web Browser, key the RSM-8R’s IP address (default = 192.168.168.168) into the web browser’s address bar, and press [Enter].

2. Username/PasswordPrompt: A message box will prompt you to enter your username and password. The default username is "super" (all lower case, no quotes), and the default password is also "super".

3. If a valid username and password are entered, the Plug Control Screen will be displayed.

5-2

Basic Configuration

5.1.3. Access Via PDA

In addition to the Web Browser Interface and Text Interface, the RSM-8R command mode can also be accessed by PDA devices. Note however, that due to nature of most PDAs, only a limited selection of RSM-8R operating and status display functions are available to users who communicate with the unit via PDA.

When the RSM-8R is operated via a PDA, only the following functions are available:

• Product Status Screen (Unit Info) (Section 8.1)

• Port and Plug Status Screen (Section 8.3)

• Plug Group Status Screen (Section 8.4)

• Plug Control Screen (Section 9.1.1)

• Plug Group Control Screen (Section 9.1.2)

For more information on these functions, please refer to the appropriate section listed next to each function in the list above.

These screens will allow PDA users to review Plug Status and Plug Group Status, invoke power switching and reboot commands and display the Site I.D. and firmware version. Note however, that PDA users are not allowed to change or review RSM-8R configuration parameters.

To configure the RSM-8R for access via PDA, first consult your IT department for appropriate settings. Access the RSM-8R command mode via the Text Interface or Web Browser interface as described in this section, then configure the RSM-8R's Network Port accordingly, as described in Section 5.9.

In most cases, this configuration will be adequate to allow communication with most PDAs. Note however, that if you wish to use a BlackBerry

to contact the RSM-8R, you must first make certain to configure the BlackBerry to support HTML tables, as described below:

1. Power on the BlackBerry, and then click on the BlackBerry Internet Browser Icon.

2. Press the Menu button, and then choose "Options."

3. From the Options menu, choose "Browser Configuration," then verify to make

certain that "Support HTML Tables" is checked (enabled.)

4. Press the Menu button, and select "Save Options."

When you have finished communicating with the RSM-8R via PDA, it is important to always close the session using the PDA's menu functions, rather than by simply closing the browser window, in order to ensure that the RSM-8R has completely exited from command mode, and is not waiting for the inactivity timeout period to elapse. For example, to close a session on a BlackBerry, press the Menu button and then choose "Close."

5.3. Defining System Parameters

The System Parameters menus are used to define the Site ID Message, set the system clock and calendar, set up log functions and calibrate temperature readings.

In the Text Interface, the System Parameters menu is also used to create and manage user accounts and passwords. Note however, that when you are communicating with the unit via the Web Browser Interface, accounts and passwords are managed and created using a separate menu that is accessed by clicking on the "Users" link on the left hand side of the menu.

To access the System Parameters menu via the Text Interface, type /F and press [Enter]. To access the System Parameters menu via the Web Browser Interface, place the cursor over the "General Parameters" link, wait for the flyout menu to appear and then click on the "System Parameters" link. The System Parameters Menus are used to define the following:

• UserDirectory: This function is used to view, add, modify and delete user accounts and passwords. As discussed in Section 5.4 and Section 5.5, the User Directory allows you to set the security level for each account as well as determine which plugs and ports each account will be allowed to control.

Note: The "User Directory" option does not appear in the Web Browser Interface’s System Parameters menu, and is instead, accessed via the "Users" link on the left hand side of the menu.

• SiteID: A text field, generally used to note the installation site or name for the RSM-8R unit. (Up to 32 chars.; Default = undefined.)

Note: The Site I.D. will be cleared if the RSM-8R is reset to default settings.

• RealTimeClock: This prompt provides access to the Real Time Clock menu, which is used to set the clock and calendar, and to enable and configure the NTP (Network Time Protocol) feature as described in Section 5.3.1.

Note: The "Real Time Clock" option does not appear in the Web Browser Interface’s System Parameters menu, and is instead, accessed via the "Real Time Clock" link on the left hand side of the screen.

• InvalidAccessLockout: If desired, this feature can be used to temporarily disable serial port access, SSH access, Telnet access and/or Web access to the RSM-8R command mode after a user specified number of unsuccessful login attempts are made. For more information, please refer to Section 5.3.2. (Default = On, 9 Attempts, 30 Minute Duration.)

Note: The "Invalid Access Lockout" item does not appear in the Web Browser Interface’s System Parameters menu, and is instead, accessed via the link on the left hand side of the screen.

• TemperatureFormat: Determines whether the temperature is displayed as Fahrenheit or Celsius. (Default = Fahrenheit.)

Basic Configuration

• TemperatureCalibration: Used to calibrate the unit's internal temperature sensing abilities. To calibrate the temperature, place a thermometer inside your equipment rack, in a location that usually experiences the highest temperature. After a few minutes, take a reading from the thermometer, and then key the reading into the configuration menu. In the Web Browser Interface, the temperature is entered at the System Parameters menu, in the Temperature Calibration field; in the Text Interface, the temperature is entered in a submenu of the System Parameters menu, which is accessed via the Temperature Calibration item. (Default = undefined.)

• LogConfiguration: Configures the Audit Log, Alarm Log and Temperature Log. For more information on event logging functions, please refer to Section 5.3.3. (Default = Audit Log = On without Syslog, Alarm Log = On without Syslog, Temperature Log = On.)

Notes:

• The Audit Log will create a record of all power switching and reboot

activity at the RSM-8R unit, including reboots and switching caused by Load Shedding, Load Shedding Recovery, Ping No Answer Reboots and Scheduled Reboots.

• The Alarm Log will create a record of each instance where an Alarm is

triggered or cleared at the RSM-8R unit.

• The Temperature Log will create a record of ambient rack temperature over

time.

• CallbackSecurity: Enables and configures the Callback Security Function as described in Section 5.3.4. In order for this feature to function, a Callback number must also be defined for each desired user account as described in Section 5.5. (Default = On - Callback without Password Prompt, 3 attempts, 30 Minute Delay.)

Notes:

• In the Text Interface, Callback Security Parameters are defined via a submenu

of the Systems Parameters Menu, accessed via the Callback Security item.

• In the Web Browser Interface, Callback Security Parameters are defined via a

separate menu, which is accessed by clicking the "Callback Security" link on the left hand side of the screen.

• FrontPanelButtons: This item can be used to disable all front panel button functions. (Default = On.)

• ModemPhoneNumber: When a phone line is connected to the RSM-8R's Internal Modem Port, the Modem Phone Number parameter can be used to denote the phone number for the modem. (Default = undefined.)

5-6

Basic Configuration

• ManagementUtility: Enables/Disables the Device Management Utility (DMU.) When enabled, the DMU allows you to manage multiple WTI units via a single menu. For more information on the DMU, please refer to the DMU User's Guide, which can be found on the WTI website at: http://www.wti.com/t-product-manuals.aspx (Default = Off.)

Note: Although the Management Utility can be enabled/disabled via either the Web Browser Interface and Text Interface, the Management Utility can only be accessed and operated via the Web Browser Interface.

• ScriptingOptions: Provides access to parameters that are used to set up the RSM-8R unit for running various scripts.

Note: In the Text Interface, the Scripting Options submenu is accessed via item 12. To access the Scripting Options parameters via the Web Browser Interface, place the cursor over the "General Parameters" link, wait for the flyout menu to appear, then click on the "Scripting Options" link.

The Scripting Options menu allows the following parameter to be defined:



CommandPrompt: This item can be used to redefine the command prompt

that will be displayed when the unit is accessed via the Text Interface. The command prompt can be set to either "TSM" or "RSM". (Default = RSM.)

• EnergywiseConfiguration: Defines parameters that are needed in order for the RSM-8R to serve as an element in a Cisco Energywise network. This item allows the following parameters to be defined:



Enable: Enables/disables the RSM-8R unit's ability to particapate in a Cisco

Energywise network. (Default = Off)



Domain: The Energywise Domain Name; up to eighty characters long.

(Default = Undefined.)



Secret: A password that is used to authenticate each element in a Cisco

Energywise network. The Secret parameter can be up to eighty characters long. (Default = Undefined.)

• SerialNumber: Allows the serial number for the RSM-8R unit to be saved and displayed. When this parameter is defined, the serial number can be displayed via the Product Status screen in the Web Browser or by invoking the /J* command in the Text Interface. Since the serial number plate on the RSM-8R unit is not always easily accessible after installation, it is often helpful to define the serial number here in order to simplify the process of determining the serial number later. (Default = undefined.)
