Config power outlet
Appears only when a single port is selected. Allows you to enter
one or more numbers that identify a power outlet or outlets
where the device that is connected to this serial port is plugged.
The power outlets must be on an IPDU that is physically
connected to AUX ports 1 or 2 or to any serial port, and the
ports must be configured for power management.
Use the format AN.N to specify the outlet in the “Config power
outlet” field, where: A is either the letter “a” (for AUX port) or
the letter “s” (for serial port), the first N before the dot (.) is the
number of the port, and the second N is the number of the outlet.
For AUX ports, you can enter either numbers 1 or 2. For serial
ports, you can enter any valid serial port number. When IPDUs
are daisy-chained, the outlets on the second and subsequent
IPDUs are numbered sequentially. You can enter up to twenty
characters, so you can specify up to four outlets.
For example, if a single IPDU is connected to AUX port 2 and a
server connected to the selected port is plugged into the third,
fourth, fifth, and sixth outlets on the IPDU, you would enter:
a2.3,a2.4,a2.4,a2.5. For another example, if four
IPDUs are daisy-chained on serial port 3 and the first three
IPDUs have eight ports, and if a device connected to the
selected serial port is plugged into the second and third outlets
on the fourth IPDU, you would enter: s3.26,s3.27.
See “Power Management While Connected to Devices” on
page 51 for details. Also see “To Power On, Off, or Cycle a
Server While Connected to a KVM Port” on page 99, if needed.
Baud rate
The baud rate that matches the baud rate of the device
connected to the selected serial port or all serial ports. Default =
9600. Baud rate options range from 2400–921600 Kbps.
