varies according to the model of the connected PM. The figure shows number
20 for a 20 amp PM.
An administrative user can use this screen to specify the following:
• An alias for the IPDU
• A threshold current between 1 and 20 amperes
• Whether any of the following actions occur if the threshold current is
exceeded on the IPDU:
• Whether syslog messages are generated
• Whether over-current protection is in effect
If you enable over-current protection, the outlets on the IPDU cannot
be turned on if the current on the IPDU exceeds the selected
threshold.
• Whether a buzzer sounds if the current exceeds the defined threshold
The Configuration screen shows an entry for each port that has an AlterPath
PM IPDU connected and that is configured for power management. The first
connected IPDU is called the master, the second and subsequently-connected
IPDUs are called slaves. On the screen “Master Unit” refers to the first or only
connected IPDU. When IPDUs are daisy-chained, the screen displays
additional lines to allow you to specify separate thresholds for slave IPDU(s).

on the IPDU Power Mgmt. Configuration screen, if needed.
1. Go to Access>IPDU Power Management>Configuration in Expert mode.
2. The Configuration screen displays entries for all ports configured for
power management. Perform the following steps for each IPDU.
a. If desired, assign an alias to an IPDU in the “Name” field.
b. For each IPDU, click the appropriate check boxes to enable or disable
Over Current Protection, the generation of Syslog files, and the
sounding of a Buzzer.
All of the selected actions occur if a defined threshold is exceeded on
the IPDU.
