Metered Rack PDU
15
Resetting the network timer
To ensure that the Rack PDU does not restart if the network is quiet for 9.5 minutes, the
Rack PDU attempts to contact the Default Gateway every 4.5 minutes. If the gateway is
present, it responds to the Rack PDU, and that response restarts the 9.5-minute timer.
If your application does not require or have a gateway, specify the IP address of a
computer that is running on the network most of the time and is on the same subnet.
The network traffic of that computer will restart the 9.5-minute timer frequently enough
to prevent the Rack PDU from restarting.
