3.3.2 PDU Explorer Overview
PDU Explorer is Web-based software that displays a hierarchical view of the system. The PDU
Explorer permits browsing components starting at the PDU level, through to the branches of the
PDU, and down to the receptacles of those branches. See 4.0 - Accessing an RPC2
Communications Module via the Web Interface for details on using PDU Explorer.
The available information depends on the type of MPH2; units that do not have branch or receptacle
management will not have information about those components (see Table 6).
The PDU Explorer home screen shows the System level. The tabs in the lower half of the screen
change depending on the level selected. When the Sensor level is selected in the navigation tree, for
instance, the Measurements tab is not shown.

3.3.3 Device Explorer Overview
Device Explorer is Web-based software that displays the user-assigned labels (names) of each
receptacle to provide a load-centric method to access status and metering information about the
associated load or connected device. To view information on a specific PDU, see 4.0 - Accessing an
RPC2 Communications Module via the Web Interface for detailed information on using Device
Explorer.
The RPC2 communications module presents only available data. If the MPH2 does not have branch
and receptacle management, the RPC2 will display grayed-out entries and that information will not
be shown (see Table 6).
