Controllable Outlet Groups
Controllable Outlet Groups provide battery backup power to connected equipment.
Overview
The controllable outlet groups can be configured using the Advanced menu options.
Refer to “General settings” on page 18.
The controllable outlet groups can be configured to independently turn off, turn on, shutdown, switch to Sleep mode, and
reboot connected equipment.
• Turn Off: Disconnect output power to connected equipment either immediately using the Turn Off Immediately
feature or after a configured delay using the Turn Off With Delay feature.
NOTE: Controllable outlet groups can be turned on only using the Turn On feature.
• Turn On: Connect output power to connected equipment either immediately using the Turn On Immediately
feature or after a configured delay using the Turn On With Delay feature.
• Shutdown: Disconnects the power to connected equipment either immediately or after a configured delay.
Equipment reconnects after a configured delay when mains power becomes available and other configured
conditions are met.
Each controllable outlet group can be configured separately to allow power sequencing for equipment connected
to any controllable outlet group.
• Reboot: Disconnect the power to connected equipment either immediately or after a configured delay. Reconnect
equipment after a configured delay when either mains or battery power becomes available and other configured
conditions are met.
Each controllable outlet group can be configured separately to allow power sequencing for loads connected to any
controllable outlet group.
• Sleep: This mode is a reboot with an extended duration where a outlet(s) remain turned off.
Disconnect the power to connected equipment either immediately or after a configured delay. Reconnect
equipment after a configured delay when either mains or battery power becomes available and other configured
conditions are met.
Each controllable outlet group can be configured separately to allow power sequencing for equipment connected
to any controllable outlet group.
To configure Sleep mode use an external interface, such as the Network Management Web interface.
• Automatically turn off or shutdown when certain conditions occur, based on user configurations set using the
Config Menu Outlets menus. Refer to “Configuration” on page 17
Connect controllable outlet groups
• Connect critical equipment to one controllable outlet group.
• Connect peripheral equipment to the other controllable outlet groups.
– To conserve battery runtime during a power outage, nonessential equipment can be configured to shut down.
Use Loadshed Time on Battery Enable/Disable and Loadshed Time on Battery Setting defined in the
General Settings section. Refer to “General settings” on page 18.
– If equipment has dependent peripherals that must restart or shut down in a specific sequence, such as an
ethernet switch that must restart before a connected server can be restarted, connect the devices to different
outlet groups. Each controllable outlet group can be configured independently of the other groups.
• Use the Configuration menus to configure how the controllable outlet groups will react in the event of a power
outage.
