Settings
The Settings menu selections that display depend on the type of privilege you have. These selections allow you
to configure administrative settings, system attributes, and network access and control. Depending on
privilege, this menu can include the following:
l
User-Defined Groups:
A user-defined group consists of a group of outlets that are logically linked together
on the same ePDU or on a different ePDU. Outlets that are in the same user-defined group can be turned
on, turned off, rebooted and scheduled in a synchronized manner. Power schedules are attached to outlets,
and a power schedule can be programmed for each outlet.
l
Access Accounts:
The Access Accounts page allows you to set up the SuperUser, local or remote
administrators, local ePDU-users/outlet users, and remote ePDU-users/outlet users as individuals or groups.
Access Accounts also allows the SuperUser to set up the LCD password.
l
System:
Use the System selection for identifying the administrator contact information, uploading an ePDU
or ePDU Network Management and Control (eNMC) module configuration file, upgrading, restarting, or
restoring factory default configuration to the ePDU eNMC module. You can also reset the language and
configure reporting for the EMP.
l
Date & Time:
The Date & Time page allows you to select the date format and set the date and time, either
manually or by synchronizing with the NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. You can set the time zone and
have the option of allowing DST (Daylight Savings Time).
Network
This selection allows you configure TCP/IP, SNMP, and Security settings for this ePDU.
l
TCP/IP:
Use this page to configure Ethernet, IPv4, IPv6, DNS, and SMTP.
l
SNMP:
Use this page to configure general SNMP settings, SNMPv1 settings, and SNMPv3 settings. You
can also access the Eaton ePDU MIB (Management Information Base) from this page.
l
Security:
Use this page to set port settings and LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) settings.
- Global:
Set the port settings and the authentication mode on this page.
- LDAP:
Set the LDAP search configuration and global LDAP server global parameters for the specified
LDAP servers on this page.
- RADIUS:
Add or edit the parameters for a primary or secondary RADIUS server on this page.
Access Privileges
The level of access privilege determines what the user will see and what actions the user can perform. For
example, the level of access privilege determines which menu items the user can access or which fields display
on individual setting and configuration dialogs. Any menu or dialog functions that are not included in the access
privilege set for a user do not display, or are they are grayed-out.
These accounts can be configured not only for individuals, but also for groups. All remote users and
administrators belong to a remote group and their access privileges are defined from this group. Remote
accounts also provide a way to attach LDAP users (see “Configure Remote Group Access” on page 112).
Three user roles can be assigned these access privilege levels:
l
Administrator
l
Local or Remote ePDU-User
l
Local or Remote ePDU-User/Outlet User
Administrator
There can be one SuperUser and up to eight standard local or remote administrators.
