• A description of each input field on the PDU Configuration screen is listed below:
Log Interval: Time interval (in seconds) that the PDU will send updated metrics to
SEMA or SNMP host over network. If this variable is set to a value of less than 10
the logging is disabled. Maximum value that can be entered is 64,000. This field is
only required when using the PDU with SEMA or SNMP host.
Alarm Interval: Time interval (in seconds) that the PDU will send notification to SEMA
or SNMP host over network when an alarm condition arises. If this variable is set to
a value of less than 10 the alarm notification is disabled. Maximum value that can be
entered is 64,000. This field is only required when using the PDU with SEMA or
SNMP host.
Log Difference: Absolute value difference (in Amperes) that the PDU must detect in
the change of consumption before it will send updated metrics to SEMA or SNMP
host over network. If this variable is set to 0 the difference logging is disabled.
Maximum value that can be entered is 640.00. This field is only required when using
the PDU with SEMA or SNMP host.
PDU Connection Port: This is the TCP/IP port number that the PDU uses to listen for
communications from SEMA. This value is normally set to 2001 and should not be
changed unless it is done system wide with the SEMA. Maximum value that can be
entered is 64,000. This field is only required when using the PDU with SEMA.
SEMA Connection Port: This is the TCP/IP port number that the SEMA uses to listen
for communications from a PDU. This value is normally set to 2002 and should not
be changed unless it is done system wide with the SEMA. Maximum value that can
be entered is 64,000. This field is only required when using the PDU with SEMA.
PDU Broadcast Port: This is the TCP/IP port number that the PDU uses to listen for
broadcast communications from SEMA. This value is normally set to 2003 and
should not be changed unless it is done system wide with the SEMA. Maximum
value that can be entered is 64,000. This field is only required when using the PDU
with SEMA.
SEMA Broadcast Port: This is the TCP/IP port number that the SEMA uses to listen
for broadcast communications from a PDU. This value is normally set to 2004 and
should not be changed unless it is done system wide with the SEMA. Maximum
value that can be entered is 64,000. This field is only required when using the PDU
