Installation and Operations Manual
HTTP Administration
NOTE: A restart is required after setting or changing any Telnet/Web configurations.
Enabling and disabling HTTP support:

Changing the HTTP server port:
With HTTP support enabled, the HTTP server watches and responds to requests on the default HTTP port number 80. You
can change this port number using the Set HTTP Port command.

Sentry Power Manager (SPM) Administration
The Sentry Power Manager (SPM) is Server Technology’s enterprise management software product for the data
center. The configuration options provided allow you to enable/disable SPM and reset the SPM password to its
default.
NOTE: The SPM options apply only if you are currently using Server Technology’s SPM software product.
Enabling and disabling SPM Secure Access:
The Set SPM command enables or disables support for Sentry Power Manager (SPM). If your operation does not
currently use SPM software, you can disable SPM Secure Access. However, if disabled, the PDU will not be able to
use the SPM suite of secure network capabilities or the advanced remote configuration.
To enable or disable SPM support:
At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set spm , followed by enabled or disabled and press Enter .
NOTE: Both HTTP and SSL must be enabled or the SPM Secure Access option will not be permitted. When SPM Secure Access is
permitted, the default is Enabled.
Resetting the SPM Password:
The Set SPM Reset Password command resets the SPM password on the PDU to its internal default password.
Each PDU has a default unique SPM password that is used to communicate between SPM and the PDU. When SPM
discovers a PDU in the network, SPM changes this password into a different unique password for added security. The
SPM then continues to manage or alter these passwords as required for system security.
If a PDU is relocated or swapped from the system after a password was generated, SPM may not be able to re-
establish a connection to the unit. The Set SPM Reset Password command allows you to reset to the internal default
password of the PDU so SPM can re-discover the device and add it to the system. Once the unit has been acquired by
SPM, no further action is necessary.
To reset the SPM password:
At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set spm , followed by resetpw and press Enter .
NOTE: Do not reset the password if SPM communication has already been established.
