Metered Rack PDU

You can change the Port setting to the number of any unused port from 5001 to 32768

for added security. Users must then use a colon (:) to specify the non-default port

number. For example, for port 5001 and IP address 152.214.12.114, the command

would be ftp 152.214.12.114:5001.

WAP (Administration>Network>WAP)

Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) allows the monitoring of the Rack PDU with

cellular phones, pagers, and other handheld devices. It is a standard for providing

cellular phones, pagers, and other handheld devices with secure access to e-mail and

text-based Web pages. WAP runs on all major wireless networks and is device-

independent so that it can be used with many phones and handheld devices.The

Enable WAP Access checkbox (enabled by default) enables or disables the WAP

access of the Rack PDU.

FTP transfers files without encryption. For higher security, disable the FTP

server, and transfer files with SCP. Selecting and configuring SSH enables

SCP automatically.

At any time that you want a Rack PDU to be accessible for management by

InfraStruXure Manager or Central, FTP Server must be enabled.
