Installation and configuration
Creation
SNMP Main Connection
This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SNMP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
- Device address: Not required.
SNMP Settings:
- IP port: The IP port of the device, by default 161.
- Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device, by default public.
- Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device, by default private.
Usage
General
This page provides general status information, including the System Name, Device Name, Rack Name, Rack Position, Description, System Object ID and System Up time. For some of these parameters, the value can be adjusted on this page.
Power General
This page contains the Overview table, which provides a general overview of Current, Power, Power Factor and Energy.
It also contains the Voltage/Frequency Total by Module table, with quick information on the total frequency and voltage per module.
The following page buttons lead to subpages with additional information and settings:
Agent: Displays the Agent Table, with information about Ports, Agent status and Agent IP.
Fuse: Displays three different tables, i.e. the Line, Line Current and Fuse table, with information on the current and the status per fuse. Also allows you to set the thresholds and warnings.
Scheduler: Displays the Scheduler Table, which contains information about the port name, the port state and the port on and off time, and allows you to enable or disable ports by outlet.
Energy: Displays the Energy Table, which contains the outlets names, Port State, Active Energy, Resettable Active Energy, reset buttons, Apparent Energy and Resettable Apparent Energy. This provides an overview of the complete energy status of the device, along with the possibility to set changes to the relevant parameters.
Power: Displays the Power Table, with the columns Port State, Actual Power, Min Power, Max Power, Reset Values, Power Warning, Switch Off, Apparent, etc.
Note that minimum and maximum values are calculated by the connector itself. Because of this, it is strongly recommended to reset the values of the device when the connector starts.
Current: Displays the Current Table, which allows you to set thresholds for the currents, view maximum and minimum values, and set the Current Off value.
Environment
This page contains the Ambient Table and Electrical Table.
These provide an overview of the environmental parameters, including the temperature and RMS voltage. Information about minimum and maximum values is also displayed.
E2 Sensors
This page contains information about the E2 sensors, including the E2 Temperature, E2 Humidity and E2 Motion tables, which also show an overview of the lowest and highest values.
In the E2 Analog Table, you can find information (including minimum and maximum values) for the analog input. In the E2 Digital Table, you can find this same information for the digital port.
The E2 Management Table contains information about the Firmware Version and IUD.
Note that minimum and maximum values are calculated by the connector itself. Because of this, it is strongly recommended to reset the values of the device when the connector starts.
Web Interface
This page displays the web interface of the device. Note that the client machine has to be able to access the device, as otherwise it will not be possible to open the web interface.
