Black Box Power View PS570A, Инструкция по установке и эксплуатации, Страница: 6 / 32

Introduction
The BLACK BOX® Power View family of products provides easy, practical, and secure solutions for
power distribution and power management for remote internetworking equipment and branch AC circuits.
The Power View Enhanced PDU supports the elimination of unnecessary trips to remote locations by
allowing remote control of the power on/off status for distant critical equipment, minimizing the impact of
locked-up devices on mission-critical networks.
Features and Benefits
The Power View Enhanced PDU is available in an 8 outlet configuration for 100-120V AC for support
up to 20A. See
Models in Appendix C: Technical Specifications.
Communication Access Modes
The Enhanced PDU is equipped standard with a Console RS-232 port and a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet
port for Telnet and in-band web browser (HTML) access.
Power Distribution & Remote Management
The Enhanced PDU distributes up to 20A AC power and offer individual remote control over the power
on/off status of up to 8 devices.
Load and Environment Measurement
The Enhanced PDU’s load measurement feature eliminates guesswork by supplying the cumulative
operating load in amperes. This allows administrators to maximize the equipment installed and
operated on a circuit without worry. Use of the circuit is maximized, while effectively allowing a 10%
to 20% safety margin.
Outlet Grouping
For operations across multiple attached devices or devices with multiple or redundant power supplies,
The Enhanced PDU’s outlets may be included in one or more named groups of outlets. Changes may
then be applied to all outlets in the named group with one easy command sequence.
User Interfaces and LEDs
The Enhanced PDU features two user interfaces: the HTML interface and the command line. For easy
recognition, both individual outlets and groups may be assigned descriptive names for use in control
commands. For the on-site technician, LEDs on the Enhanced PDU indicates power status for
individual outlets.
Security
The Enhanced PDU ships with one predefined administrative user account. The administrator may
create up to 128 user accounts, with individualized access to outlets and commands. All accounts
support username and password protection. For configurations requiring multiple fully-privileged
users, the Enhanced PDU allows the administrator to grant administrative privileges to other user
accounts in the system.
Automatic Timeout
For added security, a user session will be automatically terminated after five minutes of inactivity; if a
user is called away unexpectedly, an unprotected channel will not remain open indefinitely.
